We’re talking seezed not running right?
How about a 350 running?
Holy smokes! You'd **** yourself if you knew what I gave for my last two project 346s.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.
You can tell the people that pound pavement, and those that pound a keyboardWow I must be a cheapskate cause its rare that I will pay more then $100 canadian for a blown up saw. Buying blown up saws to me is a gamble so I won't pay a ton for any saw.
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 $$.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.
I've got one with all the work done I'd sell for $350... And another in a few weeksWish 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.You may find this interesting today anyway.

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!!

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.
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!!
