MS200T valuation

Recommended Posts

G'day, 

I have a little used MS200T in good condition that occupies space, doesn't get used. I've had it more years than I care to remember, used it a bit shortly after I got it I soon realised a small back handle was the preferred option when used in the woods, on my own and 1/2 mile from the nearest house. Been stored with either no fuel or Stihl long life fuel, gets fired up every once in a while without trouble.  I'll put a new fuel line on it anyway. 

This is the advert I put on e_bay

MS200T in exceptional condition for year basically because I haven't used it !

Bar is the original light weight 14" version, a little paint loss but next to no wear.
Chain is the original,  1/3 used 2/3 rds left. 
Starts,  runs, chain brakes as it should. 
Engine Compression measures 165 psi 

Pictures below, what's it worth on here do we think? 

 

Thanks for opinions....

Wants leaving on a shelf for a few years longer yet [emoji6] tidy example that from your pics, will only go up in value. Pleasure to see though, they’re normally battered to bits when offered for sale.

I picked up a second hand 200 last this time last year for £200. Ran first time no problems asked. Was a bit battered and bruised (no way near as clean as yours) so had to invest 50-80 quid to make it look and work to its true potential. Engine wise been great

Thank you for the replies. Spud, thanks Mister,  I like your first 2 numbers, last one less so. It's about what I hoped. 

 

Not sure about the investment theory guys, better value in using it as a money making tool surely. That's for someone with better ability than me.

 

Just to add,  I had it pointed out to me its a USA spec saw with the green label on handle (pictures didn't catch that). That is quite correct, maybe that accounts for the exhaust spec. 

I also noted, while fitting a new fuel line,  the carb doesn't have an accelerator circuit - no hole below the throttle spindle anyway ??? Its a proper Stihl carb though so that can only be a good thing IMHO.

 

Thanks again.

Probably got a single fuel line and separate breather plus one of those earlier carbs where the H&L screw are further away from each other but without the pump. Should be a good saw for someone, hope the sale works out. Looks tidier than many that come my way!

If you could do the lottery with as much accuracy as that you could forget that exit plan of yours,  and most other plans for matter. Spot on re carb spec. 

On the eBay thing, appreciate comment. I agree,  but I'm a bit too controlling, I'd like to know it's not selling for peanuts. With the best offers option I get to decide,  had 350 and 360 offered but those are ebay pounds not real pounds - robbing sods. There's no rush and no fees at present.
