Spotted this

 

Ebay UK

 

Thought it might be of interest to someone

Anyone know how to sharpen the blade though? Haha

Lot of money for an 08s. They normally fetch less than a ton.A lot less.Saws in general on there seem to be selling for good money though.

The 08s is a bit of a pig realy,not the best saw.

That's a lot of money for a really old saw! Not many safety features, vibrates like hell, no spares available, illegal to employ someone to use it. There will be a disappointed buyer and, at the current price, a new Stihl is affordable.

I used them back in the early 80's, wow, but they were hard work and bloody noisey too!

I have had the misfortune of owning one of those, also a cut off saw and post hole borer with that same 'orrible power head:lol:

Maybe the seller means he will pay that price for someone to take it off his hands!
