The "how much is it worth" thread

[034avsuper]

I got this idea off of another forum. Thought it might be a good idea for the site as I see alot of guys asking how much a used saw is worth, myself included. I'll start it off, how much should a Pioneer P26 and P28 go for? Both in running condition.

How about a 056 AV ??

Saws are worth what the buyer is willing to pay and what the seller is willing to sell it at PERIOD. They are no different that any other item in the world

I will give ya $25 towards posting them to me in australia....lol just joking

If you really want some idea of monetary value of a saw, go to feebay, and search completed listings for the saw you're interested in. Realize these values are at the high end based on a very large buying audience. If you're selling locally, figure on getting at best 1/2 to maybe 3/4 of what you saw on feebay.

How about this? If you guys want this thread to work, lets require pictures to be posted as well as compression and known issues and serial number if (applicable.) These things coupled with the approximate location of the saw will allow folks to give a good guess on value.

Just saying a model number means nothing. An 056 AV could be worth from $5 to $1000. If it is hit by a train and caught on fire you are going to be at the $5 level. If it is NOS in the sealed box, you'll probably be alot closer to the $1000 mark.

Good thread idea! Just remember that there is used saw value- and ebay value. And they are two very different prices (most of the time) heheh.

Normally...I would say $200-$250 local sale...
maybe a bit more on Ebay...

With all the destruction down there in Missouri...it could go
for quite a bit more...maybe.
I don't see anything "special" about that bar and chain...
why not let them go with the saw???

(One sold on Ebay just couple days ago for $305...
with 160 compression and 30 days warranty)

Sunday evening in winter is great on e-bay, this time of year,
a lot of folks are out enjoying the sun. Holiday weekends avoid, like
this one....

Or just put it in an e-bay store at a high price, then lower it a tad until it sells.

I was watching a sachs 112 on ebay because i have one I might sell. I was a little shocked when it went for $305 plus shipping. Is that about right? I don't see many complete sachs on ebay but they always go pretty high. I hate to sell it but I need some cash to build a 133 I have quite a few parts for and it's not gonna be cheap.

I should sell my Sachs 113 then, considering I paid $80 for it in great running condition, lol.

Remington super 770, runs good, oiler works, nothing wrong with it. Approximate value?

 

[Oldsawnut]

Problem with saw value is that its highly dependant on the condition... Beat up 066 worth 300, nice worth 700 both used both run good.. Beat up 041s worth 100, mint 400.. My opinion of course.. But if a saw is kept in real nice shape it usually goes for close to new value.. If it gets used hard they arent worth much more than parts saws..

Damn, I have a Sachs 112 on there now and it's been stuck on $11.50 with just a couple days left and it's in prime condition, I can only hope mine goes for 305.:msp_thumbup:

I'm inline with J2F. I think locally you can get about $150 for it and online....probably $225. You might have to list it more than once though. The orange handle Stihls typically have a smaller audience than the white handles. Also, for the orange handle models, I would most certainly include that bar and chain in the sale. Less important for the white handle ones.....IMHO.
