Good appearance $150-$200 range...Husqvarna 350s will bring with good appearance $100-$125
I bid on a couple recently on Ebay that didn't look great without a bar that went around $200. A new piston/cylinder $104 and you have a good saw. You can't flip them at that price and make anything, but there is a demand for 346xp part saws and they will not go cheap. One appearance wise looks good, good bar with piston damage I will give $200 for right now.

Holy smokes! You'd **** yourself if you knew what I gave for my last two project 346s
.They are great saws, but there are a TON of them and 353s, 351s, and the red counterparts out there. Hell, if you're just putting one together for yourself there's no reason not to use a 340/345/350 bottom end with one of the hot rod top ends. The 42mm jugs make very comparable power in my experience, and rev higher. They use a cheaper piston as well.

It's worth depends on what a repaired one is worth to you. Reduce that by the parts cost and your time. Keep in mind that you will likely need other parts besides just the cyl/p - possibly bearings, seals, carb, plug, fuel lines, filter. It adds up fast.

For a lot of people it's a hobby, so the time doesn't have a value, but I question people buying project saws off the 'bay and claiming they make $$.
Most saws I buy need a top end minimum.
Then I usually install new crank seals, fuel line, fuel filter, carb kit etc etc.
Even if the saw is say a 500 series husky I may pay a bit more as they are worth more running. More often then not the only top end available for a newer saw will be oem so the cost adds up quickly.

Wish we could get deals like that on oem parts up here in canada.
So if you paid $200 for the saw, $100 for a top end, $30 for seals and gaskets, $10 for fuel line and filter, $10 for a carb kit you have a grand total of $350.
Its up to you how badly you want a saw like that I guess.

Last I checked my dealer charges around $95, so after shipping I'll get it from the dude that gives me great deals on his trade ins... That's as cheap as I've seen them listed though.

It's similar for me. Then every now and then I'll pick up a mess of saws, sell some, and build one or two for free or less.The fun for me is having high end saws that I've gone through for way less then I can buy one for.
I'm also a cheap bastard though so take my thoughts with a grain of salt!!
Yeah I like doing it that way to.
I just sold a bunch of ms 260s that I bought cheap and rebuilt. That paid for my 562, 576 qnd the parts to build my 044 thats sitting on the bench right now.
Cheap bastard I am!!

Never ever EVER pick up a Dolmar. They run so good but cost so much to fix. The 5100s' and 5105s are my krytonite.Yeah I like doing it that way to.

A large sawmill went out of business here recently as I bought 13 saws at their sale with most of them being MS660, 066 and a few big Homelites.
Theres almost zero dolmars in these parts, thats the only reason I dont have 1 presently.
