Sell them after Labor day on the Bay. A lot of people will be on vacation the next few weeks so they're not looking at the computer. Plus buyers are will be thinking back to school and football and such so they won't be focused on the wood pile for a month or so.
I saw a few really nice machines go for pretty average money the last couple of weeks. If I were in the market for a saw, now seems the time to buy.
Yah, after labor day right up 'til 2 weeks before Christmas on eBay works well. You gotta have good feedback and know how to list a saw (just copy other successful listings; just search your item, check "completed listings" and set the box to "price + shipping, highest first"), with good, large, clear photos, and check your spelling!
I start my Popular saws at .99 with no reserve, it generates interest, and pulls in the bids and views, saves on the listing fee as well. I wouldn't use this method on unusual items though.
I do sell on Craigslist though, (avoids the eBay fees), there are certain items that are popular here in CT, and others that are not, (like Stihl 066 ms660 or Husky 394's, 395's) That are popular elsewhere, for those items you're better off on eBay, and most likely will be shipping 'em to Oregon or out that way where they consider a MS440/460 "a little saw".
