Yes, that is in Nice shape, especially for a saw that was last produced in 1983

Maybe $300 for a 34 year old Husky 266XP in that shape, but I doubt that sold for $150 NEW, 34 years ago.

There MIGHT be a Stihl collector that would pay a premium price for that saw in that condition, but I suspect at $300, that is going to be a VERY SMALL market

Had a guy call yesterday wanting to trade land clearing on 9 acres for the timber.. on a chunk of land 200 miles from us.

He seemed to think he had the deal of a century for us. When I told him I wasn't in the habit of working at a loss he couldn't understand. "But there's all sort of trees"

A clearing job on 9 acres locally would run about 20k or so. Sure as heck isn't 20k worth of timber. Probably more like $2-3k

Did you ask him how many "Money Trees" were in all those trees? I like the ones that have $50's and $100's on them, Joe.

Screaming deal on a chord of mixed unsplit wood. Is that cotton wood in the lower right?

Yep, that looks like it could be Cottonwood on the lower right, and of course stacked grain end directly on the ground, I'm sure that it "Seasoned " Very Well ;) :buttkick::laughing:

I have seen these pictures somewhere either on here or a FB page recently asking for the value on the saw. Most people replied about 2K. Who knows if it is the guy or if someone jacked the photos and is looking for online payment.
