Craftsman 55cc 316.350840 18" bar $210 can't figure out who make this one!
craftsman 36cc 358.350660 16" bar $45 actually a poulan(pull-on)
poulan 2000 33cc 14" this saw sucks horribly!! actually they all do except my huskys and my black craftsman 55cc. I claim the 455 rancher the best saw out there for the money JMO.
 
036 Stihl- $275 new
365 Husky- Free, from timbersports sponsor
394 Husky- $125 used
3120 Husky- $350 used
3120 Husky- $875 new
3120 Husky Varney Modified- $1000 used, $300 rebuild, In the EHP shop right now for it's second, haven't got the bill yet.
3120 Husky EHP racesaw- $2200 used, In the EHP shop for an update right now.
325 RLE Rotax- $3500, plus pipe updates for $150
 
044, 25": $300 used. $150 to get it running. $150 for the new top end. $70 for a new coil. It's finally running half decent.
6401 25": $240 lightly used. eBay special. Great saw although I'd like to trade up to a 7900 for the amount of oak that I cut. Very tough built unit.
026Walkerized, 18": $500. A real screamer for 90% of my cutting.
3450, 16": $200 new on eBay with the case. Impressive little saw. I don't like the Intenz chain tightener and will probably drop to a 14" bar someday. Gave the case away.
 
Stihl 024, $40 from AS member.
Jonsered 70 $150 from AS member
Jonsered 670, traded 064 for it.
 
Husqvarna 353-new $369.00 from local dealer.
Husqvarna 372xp new-around $575.00 or something like that from southwestfastener. As much as I like to support my local dealer, I just couldnt justify paying seven hundred dollars plus tax for the same saw.
Shindaiwa 488-$329.00 I found a dealer using the shindaiwa website locator that was willing to work with me. That was a pretty good price for that saw.
This is what I currently have. I wont embarrass myself by listing all of the saws i've bought, sold, traded, etc. in the past just because I wanted to try something different out.
 
well.. the saws i still own:

Husqvarna 181se: $25 (needed rings, handlebar and carb kit)
Echo CS-8000: $168 (ebay, needs chain)
Husqvarna 2100: $100 (needed muffler, starter, coil, clutch cover, bar, chain)
Homelite XL-12: $50 (stripped and waiting on crank bearings)
Homelite EZ: $20 (from Dean, only needs carb kit)

the rest of my saws had to be sold off to pay debts.

the 181 and 2100 and the EZ are in Dean's shop, and the echo is not here yet.. sucks not having any saws.. in hand..

my ex-wifes lawyer showed up to the divorce table with an estimate from someone for the saws they were able to find. he claimed i had over $30,000 in chainsaws. i am glad i only bought one used 026 for $50.00 for her to compete with the entire time we were married. marty
 
modded 372 henry special :) . 962 olympyk niager special. 026 henry special. ,cs 3000 climbing saw.. doubt ill be buyin anymore. but it was a lot of fun getting just what i think i need.
 
some old stuff

Latest was the 046, $800 ( :) nice)
less than perfect 041 (it runs real nice) handed down...
echo cs 3400 (works well enough) $200

and the museum pieces:
Really old Montgomery ward monster. Fairly heavy, but it runs.

The big ball breaker is a Remmington SL-5. Very heavy, it also runs, but I am not big enough to operate this thing for very long.

Both the antiques use a rare 7/16 chain. So I do not cut much with them.
