Are we aloud to sell saw here or not??Definitely a low hour unit there. I’d say anywhere in the $400 to $600 dollar range. Of course if you look on eBay you’ll likely see prices close to double that but at that point a 462 starts looking really good.
I believe for new members you have to have a certain post count before your allowed to list items for sale in the trading post.Does people sale saw here or not aloud?

Lot of OEM 038 parts still available actually.It's a good looking saw, but it's an 038... no pro is going to buy it aside from nostalgia... too tough to find parts, and it will be used up in 6 months... way better to post in the chainsaw forum.

What does "used up" mean?
6 months with a tree crew, and it just won't be worth chasing parts to fix it back up... versus buying something newer and easier to buy parts for. That's why I suggested he post in the chainsaw forum. Time is money, and for a pro crew running old saws just isn't cost effective. For a homeowner or enthusiast, it's a good saw, but too much trouble to maintain for a company.

My personal saws last years, but on a residential crew, they start getting pretty beat up fast... plus, when I was maintaining 20 plus saws, I only wanted 3-4 different models, just for ease of maintenance and training.
Is that what they're asking or what they're getting?$900 according to fleebay,

I don't think anyone would imagine pros buying an 038 to run professionally. I don't think that has anything to do with the saw not lasting...it is just not what those guys do (as per my observations).
But, the contention that the 038 would be used up after six months...
If the new owner changed out the rubber bits...a great-condition 038 would last as well in 2023 than it would have when they were built. I have not encountered any issues with parts aailability for my 038M.

How many hours a day do you run your 038?
