My friend has a stihl 036 pro it runs great but I'm unsure if the price he is asking is too much. He wants $400 for it is that too much or is he crazy.

Not unreasonable depending on condition. Pics?
Doesn't sound out of line depending on condition and hours used. Do some research in the trading post on same/similar saws and check Ebay sales of same.

not an outrageous price at all for a beast of a saw, especially from someone you know. A new MS362 is $750+

I almost sold my 034 AVS ( 036 upgraded) for $250 this past spring:
Buyer wanted a saw that easily pulled a 20" bar. The saw runs fine. I believe that sale for that price would have been a mistake. The forum seems to agree.

To me that's a bit high for that saw unless it's in extra nice condition. Not way off base, but for an average saw, I'd probably offer him $300, and maybe go up to $350 if it's all OEM, clean, has good compression, and a nice Stihl bar on it.
I've got two 036. My favorite firewood saws.
First one I bought used >20 years ago paid $150. I have put in: clutch upgrade kit, new 20" ES bar, chains, chain tensioner, clutch rims. That's it. P/C still looks great through exhaust.
The second one I got free, owner had seized it. I salvaged the cylinder, put in OEM piston/rings, seals, clutch upgrade, impulse/fuel/oil lines, carb kit, upper rod bearing, spark plug, new ES bar/RS chain. Have about $230 into in in parts, but it's real nice. For some reason the original owner had a 28" ES bar on it. I redid the rails and that is for my 056/064/066 saws.
I'd have wanted $400 for that one after the rebuild. It's sort of my backup for my first/other 036. I have a spare NOS OEM piston and a good used OEM cylinder as parts backups for either.
So $400 is not out of line for used 036 if it's nice and all OEM parts

That’s a fair price if you don’t have one.
Around here that price would be right in the ballpark, for a clean and cared for example, with a good bar and a chain with life left in it.
You'd have to try really hard to get more saw for that money.

$400 is not a friend price. It is the max the market will currently bear.
