What are some of the more rare/sought after Homie and Mac models?.. And why?
Some of the more desirable Macs- BP-1 (recalled Balance-piston saw, would turn up too high and catch on fire), Mac 650 (one-man slim case gear drive), Super Pro 118 (Dolmar 166 in Mac colors), 101B Kartsaw. These are all desirable because they're rare.
What about the ones below those? Any of the Homie 900 series kind of collected? Like the 921 through 955?
Why am I not seeing the SP118 or 101B on Acres site??
Perhaps not the same rareness factor as the others but, desireable:
8-29
770GS
XP-1100
2100S
3100
650
750
However, at least to me, they all seem to be less desirable once you get them. For me it is the hunt that is most intriguing. Once you get them you realize how much of the hype is caused by legend and lore. The Dolmar 166 for example. The saw that makes the 088/880 and similar saws head for the hills, quake in their bumper spikes and cower under dead fall. Not hardly. I'm not saying it is not a fantastic saw. It is just not able to clear large stands of old growth my merely idling close by. Unfortunately, in a lot of cases, the rare saw is not quite what their owners claim them to be since not many may refute them.
Nathan- I think what you're looking for is information on that lot of Homies and Macs you bought.
Yes and no... I know there wasn't anything really rare in there (John would have pulled it for his collection)... I was more curious for what to keep an eye out for...
You'll know them when you see them....
It's only once in a great, great while that a person stumbles across a Super Pro 125, a 770GS, a 9-23, or a BP-1. You should look for some of the big two-man saws, especially the early Titans, Malls, and Hornet saws. Those are saws that will bring good money.

There's a reason particular models were the most popular back in the day, and it wasn't because of looks or collectible value.
Does a mac model 47 have any collector value?
He was asking in general, on the open market. I've never seen a running 4-30 or 47 go higher than $80 on ebay, and that was for a pristine one.
