Fair asking price for a ms260 pro?

[Lowhog]

I have this nice limbing saw I'm thinking of selling. What would be a fair asking price on it? Had it out cutting yesterday and today. It fires right up and runs and idles very nice. Still has the sticker on the front. I purchased the saw five years ago and used it for backup and limbing sometimes. I have a new spare air filter and the only repair on the saw was a new recoil pulley. The original pulley cracked.

How much do you want for it? What is your bottom dollar?

It's looking pretty clean. Potentially could be worth around $325. More if you sold it on eBay.

If you can get a compression reading that really helps.

I just did a search on eBay with the sold filter. Prices are $250 - $450. I only included the prices for saws which look as good or better than this one.

My gut sense: I would buy it for $240 shipped and I don't even need it. Up to $50 over that would be reasonable for a buyer who is actively looking for one. More than that is eBay/CL luck, timing, and if you can find the right buyer.

Last time there was a spat of 026s they all went around 300. There were 024s sold for 225 plus shipping not long ago. Condition of this saw isn't perfect, but it's very good.

$250 to $300

Flippy caps cut the value by half.

That's funny!

Ebay will nail you for 10% plus what 2% for paypal. So I'm guessing if I list it here 275.00- 300.00 plus shipping that would be fair.I can do a compression test tomorrow.

That would be very fair. I made the mistake of posting a mint MS360 on eBay BEFORE posting here and I sold it for $340 but lost $34 plus the PayPal. At least with a private sale you can do friends and family on PayPal and not get slammed.

Or you could leave PayPal out of it and do a Postal Money Order.

If selling on here or other forums and Facebook I always use PayPal. Even eBay always PayPal. Protection for all involved. I don't trust a money orders.

That saw would be virtually new cleaned up.

My ms260 was pretty much mint. I sold it for $400 with three bars and chains and other extras. I got lucky though I still miss it.

I'll take it for $300 shipped!

 

[94BULLITT]

If it was mine I would not take less than $300 for it. If you clean it up it may bring more.

This reminds me of the cattle auctions where a guy hired by the cattle yard would bid up the price just a little

There has been plenty of low balls as well. We are deeming worth, not what the bottom dollar we would like to pay. If this saw was put up at $240 there would be a mad dash for it.
