Poulan Wild Thing, an older model pre-emmissions. Lots of hours on this one and it shows. Needs new clutch drum and bearing and new recoil rope. I'm keeping to use as a lender and for cutting out stumps and dirty jobs. Paid $150.00 new, paid for itself within hours clearing storm damage. I hold no grudge against this saw.

Echo CS-440, brand new. Just got this from ebay for $205, needed a serious retune to run right on local gas out of the box. Cuts great with 20LP chain. Cut one cord of oak on Saturday, very smooth saw, hoping power will come up after a few more tanks.

Looking for used Makita 6401 when local HD sells old rentals off.
 
08' 357XP $ 799.00 CDN plus 14% tax with 18" bar and free 2nd chain. I sell a lot of my product to the company I bought it from, but it kind of burns my ass to know that I could of had almost two saws for what I paid for one! I was eyeing up a 346 but its the same price as my 357 and it's not the 50 cc N.E. model. A new 372 is on the shelf for $ 1008.00 CDN.

the much loved 455 rancher 369 i think 18" bar 2 loops
mighty 142 210.00 i think it was really close to 200
poulin 2150 it was a saw we got for my dad when we were about 11 and didnt know anything. i cut prolly 7-8 cord with it before it became worse than a bow saw.

372xp about 400 total invested sad to say i sold it to pay for the deductable. wife spanked up her van :(. the good thing is now i can warrent a new one soon bwahahahahha.
 
Stihl MS660 around $1100 while i was on R&R
Stihl 088 $750 off ebay. dont know what parts ill need, hopefully cosmetic stuff
 
Too much for some, not so much for others...

I only have the runners listed, about that many more waiting for attention.

Most I paid for any was the 036 new with 16 and 25" bars. Don't remember for sure but suspect it was around $350 a few years back.

I would not dare try to total it up, my wife tries to keep pace buying CD's and DVD's and we would have to have a bigger house if she ever figured out round about how much I have "invested".

Oops, I forgot one...

I guess I went a little over the $350 mark when I bought this Super Wiz 66. I just could not resist the good looking paint and bar...
