Husky 268 & 42 special, Value?

[billyboy]

Looking at buy ing a Husky 268 and a 42 Special. Pros , Cons, What are they worth? Parts availability. Are they good saws? They were rental units in a store closeout. Seem to look in decent shape. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I have a 036 , 028S,

You will be happy with them. Probably 400 and 250 respectively on the open market is value if they run and look good

Thanks, I had done a search but it seemed most discussions were about the P&C. I did find a few online listings and they were close to what you suggested. I’ll have to think about it as I would flip them and not sure I would want to put the effort into them. I did see a NOS 42 Special that went for 775 $. Maybe someone wanted a shelf queen. Yikes!!

Knowing they were rentals, you'd still price them here? 6421s ex-rentels sell for $300.

Well no pictures don’t help valuing them, but if they look good.... I mentioned open market not here because guys here never want to pay market price lol. Additionally, husqvarna carries more notoriety then makita/dolmar in the open market, so yes if they don’t look like junk and clean up well... that’s what I’d value them at selling to someone on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace.

The 42 special is getting harder to source parts, such as their NLA seals, for. This hurts value.

$300 and $200 would be reasonable for clean examples with good p/c.

seals have been made available in the last six months. I just put a set in two days ago. P&C is the real shortfall.

Wow, that’s great.

Shame they aren’t making the p/c again. Even if they only did one for 234/238/242/246/42, that would help keep a lot of great saws up and running.

Which seals are we talking about? Are there any other models that a p/c would fit this model? Thanks
