024 wood boss

[Sburdy]

There is a Stihl 024 wood boss av, on Ebay!

 

What they like?? can you run an 18'' bar on them??

 

and currently on £122.00 is that worth a bet or not??

I would say that is now over-priced given the condition. 18" too much imo; 13" on that assuming it developed anywhere near new power levels.

 

Hang on, much better will come along.

 

Hate it when prices seem to go silly; convinces me they've got their mates bidding the price up.

the 024 is the older version of the current MS240, smallest pro saw in the Stihl lineup (apart from the MS200/200T). 18" is too much for this saw IMO, 13-15" is about right. That example you give is about right price I would have said, I wouldn't pay more than £130 for it. Think new MS240s are about £450 - £500ish?

 

cheers,

dont go that big as previous posts says its prob lost power biggest would be a 16in at a push ( if its got good power)

That is an old saw and over priced IMO.

It will also be quite heavy compared to a newer saw it looks as if it has the metal side casings.

Cheers for the info guys! was worth a thought... what's the difference between a normal 024 and the wood boss 024?? thanks.

Thats timed to finish friday evening. Together with saturday and sunday eves when a bit of alcohol is added is the worst time to bid on a saw.

Stihls go for silly money, and you dont know what its condition is really like.I`d suspect that if you bid on it, it will be immediately outbid because someone has entered a price they will go to but it doesnt show until another bid is received. It will go in increments.

You are better off looking in the week for buy it nows, just listed, where folks are having a clear out of inherited gear and job lots.They dont know the true value and just want rid with a shedload of other gear to turn a few quid.

I picked up an ms180,50 quid,026c 95 quid and an 046 for 280 this way. Not much sign of use on any of them. A lot of time spent trawling pays dividends.

Yeah!!! nice.

 

Cheers for the advice will keep an eye out.
