What are people paying for the new MS261 and MS362?

[rustyb]

After a search, I can't find any "suggested retail" prices.

 

[chipherder]

Not sure about the 261, but the 362 is $689 in Seattle.

 

[Blowncrewcab]

I can get the 261 with a 20" bar for 549+ tax...

 

[nickcg]

549 + tax in Atlanta

[atvguns]

$549.00 here too

 

[BloodOnTheIce]

Suggested retail 549$ for the 261, 679$ for the 362, +/- depending the bar length.

 

[tomcatbubba]

$600 for a 362 with 20" bar.

Are people still not able to get the 261 in some areas?

 

[mdavlee]

It's still not in my area yet.

Simply amazing.

Only the highest volume dealer is selling it in my area, the rest of the dealers still have the 260's sitting on the shelf. I talked to one, he has 261's in stock but will not sell one until he's got rid of all the 260's. What doesn't make sense is that they haven't moved off msrp on the 260.

I haven't checked in the past few weeks but they didn't have any a month or so ago. They did finally say they knew that is was coming out. Back in January they hadn't heard of them.

Three shops less than a month ago and they looked at me sideways when I asked.

Yet they've been available here since last fall. Just makes no sense to me.

One big dealer in Tallahassee FL and two dealers here in Missouri.
They all had 260s on the shelf.

 

[struggle]

I found mine surprisingly at a low volume small dealer. The larger ones had 260s.

I paid I think retail $549 with 16". Plus the six six-pack of HP oil for the extra one year warranty.

Cut with it today. Hands down the best saw I have ever used:hmm3grin2orange:

Paid $700 for my 362 with the full wrap handle and elasto-start.
