It fills its niche very well. So definitely not a bad suggestion.This may get me laughed right off of AS. But the Echo 590. Simply because of what you get for the money spent. Even ported your under the price of most other new 60cc saws.

Now this guy is building a good stash!I think the problem with the 590 is a bunch have been sold and even 'if' they become rare or desirable folks will want the 620p which is a better saw in most aspects. I stashed a rear handle MS150 (already a rare saw although available) and a MS201 rear handle, a Solo 681, a MS660, and a 6400. Its tough too predict the future, though the highly desirable saws do have common traits.

Homelite Super XL 12 is also another one.

Agreed, i used a 346xp and it's a great saw.346 and 372 stand out to me.
Nothing, be it cars, motorcycles, guns, chainsaws, etc is remembered by the masses for the relative value it was when new. If they were, an echo or Stihl 290 might make the list.
Are the MS270/070 of today as good as the past ones? I read somewhere that they are actually now built in Brazil of “mostly” German made parts. I read it on the internet so it must be trueIf it's just to stuck it over the mantelpiece, unfueled and unoiled, and look at it, a Stihl MS070/720 without any hint of doubt. Rather expensive but can be had without jumping through too many hoops
Your stash takes the trophy so farIf you're talking about newer saws to stash away in hopes of them gaining value as collector saws down the road, it's very hard to predict, I think your stash needs to be somewhat diverse. This was early on in the start of my stash. I've since added about a dozen saws like a 361, 346, 390, pre xtorq 372, 385, 660, 460, and a few more. People ask how you can keep a saw in the box without running it, it's actually quite easy when you have the same saw that is used, and you have too many saws to begin with. It makes it a lot easier when you do some buying, selling, trading and end up with little to nothing in a new saw in the box.
