Brand new 044

[mv7fd]

I'm going to buy it for sure. I may sell it I may keep it I'm not sure yet

 

[Jacob J.]

I would get it even if it wasn't what I wanted. Use it to trade into what you really want

A die-hard Stihl fan would give up a lot for a NIB 044...

If trade some other stuff for one of it was interested.

I'm going to buy it i'll post pictures and definitely let you all know what I'm going to do with it before I put it together or put fuel in it

 

[Definitive Dave]

you guys set this all up to get me worked up right? the whole forum is in on the joke, right?
a NIB 044, if genuine, I would trade a NIB MS661 for it

I WOULDNT WAIT TIL FRIDAY TO BUY IT. ID OWN IT BY 9 AM TOMORROW MORNING.

Note: you have brought it to the attention of all of AS that there is a NIB 044 at a dealer for $600. There can't be that many Stihl Dealers in Maryland. I wouldnt sleep tonight if I had just divulged such. I have a 440 Arctic, I wouldn't consider an offer of 2 times that dealers price for mine. Wouldnt give it a second thought. And mine isn't nos... mint but not nos.

Buy it. I will trade u a practically unrouched 261c and some cash.

 

[mv7fd]

Ok I will go tomorrow evening and buy it

And this is not a set up or a joke I kinda blew him off when he said 600 bucks for an 044 since its an older saw

That's a trade offer worthy of a real Stihl guy.

hope he didn't offer it to the "next" guy that came in after you left. That would suck.

Rockjock was pulling our leg. A NIB 044 is probably worth around $900-1000 on the street currently, with some Stihl collectors willing to pay far more than that. For $600- I would be pulling out my wallet without hesitation.

Of course I was my friends! and 044 is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I can see a collector paying some decent coin but for the average joe, it's an old saw from 1988. No warranty, possibly needing a carb kit, new lines and seals.

I guarantee you that someone from this forum has already started calling around.

OP, you should probably set up a "black Friday" tent outside of the dealership tonight...... set the tent right up against the front door, so you're the first one in the door in the AM.

I get a kick out of the tents outside of Best Buy every year, but Id be in the first one if the item (044 arctic) was the only nos one avail in existence, the dealer was basically giving it away, and I knew where it was.

 

[mv7fd]

No one will find it by tomorrow he's not listed on stihls website as a dealer

 

[mv7fd]

And a new 661 is definitely a good trade i'll have to start a bid on this thing

Oh my.... I am afraid you will be rather disappointed in your plan LOL

 

[idiotwithasaw]

if you do plan on using it to trade up, definitely dont use it, or take it out of the box, or breathe on it, or look at it, heck dont even touch it. just put the box in a box, seal it up and never look at it again.

 

[Welder56]

Good luck!! Don't wait if you plan on buying it.

There is a recent thread of "if you could buy a new 044 would you?"... that's how desired/legendary it is.

So you could probably double your money if you plan on selling or trading

 

[mv7fd]

I saw that last night. I'm going to buy the saw today and just sit on it awhile before I decide to do anything
