Sold Makita DCS 9010 New, Old Stock--Make Me an Offer

[AlfA01]

Everyone,

I can't believe I'm writing this post, but here goes...

For Sale is this beautiful DCS9010. It has sat in a tool store near to me for quite a few years and was only fired up and ran occasionally in the shop. It's never seen wood.

I'm selling it like a used machine, because it doesn't come with warranty or as a new saw direct from Makita. So, since its being sold as used, I decided it best if I presented as such provided pics of everything. See the pics--they speak for themselves--inside and out.

Has factory Mahle piston and cylinder and Tillotson carb.

Here's my deal: I love this saw and want to keep it. My wife says, "don't get attached". So, somebody please buy this thing so I don't have to make up lies to tell her.

Got a price in mind?

Or looking for any trades so I can ship another saw to Greece?

At this point the only saw worth being hit with a frying pan, is a Dolly 166. Other than that, I'm still trying to explain why I needed the other three saws I bought this year already+the pole saw.

Loving that 5105, thanks buddy!

It's a good one...don't let it get away! I'll post up video of it running today.

Well, that's the other problem. I'm not sure what it's worth. I want to sell it at a fair price that me and the new owner will be happy with.

Third run since I got it...
Got a bit of carb tuning to do. Sound isn't great. My phone makes chainsaws sound like UFOs.

Why did you take the saw apart and why no decal on recoil ?

In the OP I explain that the saw has been sitting for quite a few years and in a unknown status. Same with the sticker. The saw had been at that tool store longer than some of the employees, so no one had any answers for me. The only question they answered in my favor was, "will you take $XXXX money for it?"

I want to know what I'm selling to folks so that I can stand by my word and give the buyer the most confidence he can have in buying a saw from half way around the world. Best way to do that is to show it in pics and video. Many people I've talked to, or read posts from, are afraid of rebuild saws that may include Chinese parts, etc.

I take all my saws apart, except the new ones that have warranty. I measure squish, may or may not do a base gasket delete and port cleanup, and seal the cylinder base with Yamabond, which I didn't do on this saw, as many people want to build these saws as they like.

BTW: the squish on this saw is over .5mm without a base gasket. The base gasket measures .5mm.

What are you asking shipped

 

[AlfA01]

I'll say this: a new Dolmar version of the saw is selling for $1200 + shipping. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Makita-DCS9010-74-90cc-Chainsaw/dp/B00517HLX6
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Makita-ZMA...195090?hash=item3f8dfe5552:g:LQ0AAOSwK~RaIp2C

Trouble with the guys above is that they don't want to ship worldwide.

A good used one is selling for around $725 and up depending on condition, which is well below my bottom line.

I'll split it in the middle and offer it for $900 + actual shipping OBO. If it don't get a solid offer by May 1st, I'll put it on eBay with a Reserve of what I got in to it.

I can get a brand new one shipped from overseas for 850.00

 

[Jared31]

Thanks for the info. I think for that price I’m going to hold off for a really nice stihl

You are a better man than me. And, must have better connections. Got any links to those saws for sale?

ajschainsaws sells them around $725 for a used one and another $80 for shipping.

Like I said OBO. If you got money and are ready to buy, I'll listen. If you are just "kickin the tires", this ain't the saw for you.

I'm pretty sure that leeha has just a few 166's...

That's what I heard. @bulletpruf might also be selling one of his former saws.

 

[Jared31]

Thanks for the offer. Just bought a brand new ms461 from a member. $825 shipped

That's a great saw, enjoy it! Not comparable to the 9010, though. The 9010 and MS 660 are the closest in the Stihl versus Dolmar arena. Your new saw would be more closely compared with the Dolmar 7910, which can be found at a similar price to what you have paid.

Cheers,
