I'm looking for a top handle saw for the little work I do around my place and my inlaws. Found this on CL and thunking the price is a bit high but idk? What do you guys think.

That does seem a bit steep $
I got one for free with a missing pull start handle $1.85 and a severely rocked 1/4" chain $21.

32cc 9lbs 15oz w/12" bar& chain
Might be less oiling problems compared to a top handle Poulan 30cc micro(1 pound lighter) or older XXV S25 (I have 6 and they all needed work)

Personally, I think it is priced about twice what it is worth, if you buy it I have the hedge trimmer attachment I can sell you.

That's pretty cool - didn't know a trimmer head existed. If my 015L would run consistently I'd be on that. Hmmm....

40-50$ max.

No way. If you want cheap keep on looking. But if you want newer features like a chain brake maybe look at a new echo or shindaiwa? They seem pretty reasonable. At least you now it will be reliable and have no "quirks" that weren't mentioned lol

Dude, top handle. That ain't a top handle is it?

What is this a pop quiz? You asked if the old saw you want to buy is worth the cost and I used a picture of a current selling model for price reference.

Aside from that, your application allows you more options for a saw than just top handle.

think long and hard about ANY saw from a ladder.
you may be wanting a pole saw before a top handle. Just sayin.

Local pawn shop has this Echo 271T for $229 but could probably get it for around $175. Keep looking you will find a better deal!
