At The Chainsawr in Stannard VT. I hear their name mentioned on here sometimes in reference to mail order parts which is their primary business, well they also sell used saws and new Dolmar out of the shop. Quite a neat place miles from anywhere in northeast VT. Room after room after building of parts saws they pull from, I think he said they're right around 9,000 parts saws in inventory.
Anyhow if you're interested they do ship saws, this is their local running Craigslist ad: http://burlington.craigslist.org/grq/5365394908.html Mind you that list is nowhere near accurate right now as far as inventory (no MS460, no 064 thanks to this guy, probably some others) but it's an idea of what they carry and how much they ask for it. Just give them a call if you're looking for something since they also have stuff not on that list, there was a half built MS880 project saw for sale out on the floor though I forget how much. He did mention that the used saws worth reselling whole come in a little slower these days. Pretty good prices on other stuff, got two extra 84 driver chains for $18 each which I think is a hair cheaper than I could do at a local shop.
Hello, been lurking around learning. Cool site. Thought I'd throw out a post to get started. CL find, 2015 372XP-xt basically brand new with manual, tags and all that came with it for $400. Not sure if it qualifies for suckage but it seems like a steal to me!

Wow! I thought the two month old 261m tronic that I got for 400.00 was a good deal. Guess not . Nice find

looks like you are either on the Austrian or Australian site there...
Actually I just looked further into it and that is Australian
Pretty sure that saw retails around $600 American?

Man I'm starting late this year this post is already 4 pages long.
I put an add in the local shopper for old 1 or 2 man chainsaws and what do you know?
And he threw in a kicker to go with it.
Old Fairbanks-Morse 3000 watt generator.
Both were free and not froze up.
I did give him 40.00 to get some lunch.

I don't know if this qualifies as a you suck or not, but I turned a craftsman top handle saw exactly like the one pictured..
Into this...
The top handle and I went on a 250 mile road trip to straight trade for a box of three ms660's and a ms460. All were tarred and dipped in fir bark dust and ugly as hell. The owner traded work for the pile and didn't have any need for it, so he listed them on Craigslist for trade. The pictures were out of focus and I was barely able to make out a good Husqvarna bar and I recognized one carcass to be a 660 case. I sent a message with pics of my craftsman and he was all over it. Normally I wouldn't have taken this risk of driving that far for junk, but it was near one of my favorite fishing stops on the coast so I figured it was a win win.
So..one 660 was a runner out of the box with a broken clutch, two were missing top ends, and the 460 has bad bearings.
I traded the well used runner and this fresh build that I put together from those parts for the 880...which is brand new and has literally only made three cuts. I'm sick to see the 660 go because I built that thing to cut with an 880. Now I need to build another and try to keep it.
