Value of Stihl MS 460

[1Alpha1]

I have a chance to do some horse trading with a friend of a friend. Long story short, this guy has a new Stihl MS 460 that he wants to trade for a firearm that I have.

He bought this saw earlier this year in anticipation of helping some guys build a log house. Well.....for whatever reason, the log house didn't materialize.

So now....he has a saw that he has no real use for. My buddy mentioned to his buddy (saw owner) that I was "into" firearms. The guy is interested in a couple of handguns that I have.

I've seen the saw, and the guy swears that he's never started it. From the looks of the saw, I believe him.

I just need an idea as to the market value of the MS 460.

TIA!!

I think they sell for around $700.

Check eBayware for ended auctions. Look for descriptions such as: like new, as new, mint condition, etc. Also consider the shipping, bar length, chain type, extra goodies, etc. Then to further complicate things take into consideration that you have a chance to handle, & hopefully test, this saw. You should be able to get a good idea what the saw would be worth.

Aw ra best, Chris J.

New from the dealer 460s with a warranty sell for between $650 and $700.

Since you friend can`t give you the warranty or dealer services and good will as a customer, the saw shouldn`t bring a penny more than $575 IMO, and I think that really is the outer limit.

My local Stihl dealer in Ct. sells them for just over $700.

Thanks to all for the responses. I now have a better idea as to the value of the saw.

Around here, you'll pay near or more than $800, with a full wrap ($50), depending on bar, as they're usually sold with a 28" or 32".

(And please everyone save your comments that 28" and 32" is too much for a 460, because I know alot of you are thinking that.)
