Want to Buy Good price for good condition 660 or 661

[mes261]

What's a good price for a "good condition" 660 or 661?

 

[Ketchup]

660: $500 to $750 all original
661: $650 to $900 all original, watch out for overheating Mtronics.

"overheating MTronic" ?

there was a local listed ms660 for $425 ..I missed it I agree that a nice used oe ms660 will be in the 700$ range.....i would rather have a clean .064

I won't sell my 660 for less than $900.
Perspective of what good condition is will vary a lot from person to person .

I've got a clean 066 flattop with decomp I'd sell for $750, plus shipping,with 36" light bar and chain with 2 cuts on it.

Looks like a nice flat top there.
My 066 red light cost $400 with a KS jug.
My o64 was $360, but I had to rebuild the carb and replace the coil. Somebody beat that saw with an ugly stick before I got it. It's no princess.
What bar and chain you can get with saw makes a big difference too. Bars aren't cheap. Multiple bars or chains can easily raise the price by $200 and still be worth it.

"overheating MTronic" ?

There are some horror stories of the 661s heating up and dying. The diagnosis ranges from bad solenoids, to full carb replacements, to faulty control modules. Mtronic issues that are difficult to diagnose without swapping expensive parts. There's a thread up on tree buzz about it right now. I know a lot of people are really happy with these saws and have no problems, but if you get a lemon out of warranty you're going to drop a lot of coin to fix it.

I'm not trying to pick a fight here. I do not own a 661. Partially because I have read others' complaints, partially because I like old saws, and mostly because they're pricey. I really want one from Tree Monkey...

By good I mean everything intact.. original.. good comp.. lightly used.
I'd pay 700 for a good 660
