Used saw value chart

[nhawlman]

Is there a chart on the internet
that suggests selling prices of used saws,
like there is for used cars.

Thanks in advance,
Nevin

There might be, but I dont know for sure. I go by size, condition, and how common the saw is on the market. if its a common Stihl or Elux saw, it depends on age, condition, and model.

I usually run a search of completed auctions on ebay to get a general idea.

I was not aware that you could search auctions that were over.
How is that done? And how many months back will it search?

Thanks,
Nevin

 

[begleytree]

click advanced search, and mark completed auctions

I have never seen or heard of one. It certainly wouldn't hurt some of the people biding on ebay to have one.

 

[nhawlman]

For some, bidding on ebay is like gambling,
and they get a high from being high bidder.
Common sense seems to take a back seat.

Happy New Year,

Stihl and Husky go really high most of the time on ebay people get back the money they put in to them.

Then again......common sense ain't to common!

I heard that, anyone who would pay $400+ for a ms290 is just stupid I guess. When you can get one new for around $300!

You could post about a potential purchase here. I wouldn't mind telling you my 0.02 for what it's worth, or what I'd pay for it.

I think ya gotta have an account with ebay to search past auctions....I know they won't let me untill I sign in........

 

[xander9727]

Take the leap.......

 

[nhawlman]

eBay search

You're right - I tried searching and it asked for my user name.

Thanks,

True

This is true. You must have a user account to search past closing auctions.

E-bay is real hit-or-mis in my experence. I watched it for a while and saw a few good deals go by that I was too slow or indisive to bid on and eventually got a decent deal myself - an 038mganum for $163. It needed some work, but nothing serious.

Or, they are actually aware of the true value of that item and are bidding up to it's real worth. I think I'm pretty bright but I'd be a dope to assume that ebay bidders are all a bunch of fools and that I'm smarter then they are.
