I've had a 298xp sitting on my living room floor for over a year now. I finally got the hang of catching the piston just at the right position for an easy start. Anyway, I'm interested in selling the saw and would like to know any kind of a price to ask for? It doesnt have the chain brake, just the solid aluminum handle. Also its missing the air filter and cover. Filter has been replaced with a velosity stack and K&N filter. Other then that it has plenty of compression and runs. Any help here would be greatly appreciated? Thank you
