ebay example we bought a 550 xp 2 years ago for £500 sold it last month for £285 as it was in a well used condition so 2 years running for £215 no brainer in my op

No-one buys second hand saws from a dealer but on ebay and gumtree there seems to be a thriving trade in top brand saws. I'm not in the trade but I would think you paid best part of £1000 for the saw and will be lucky to see half of it back after just one year but will probably get the same for it in another two years and still have the use of it as a back up or someone might be interested at a realistic price if you decide to advertise later.

Work has been good managed to put a bit extra by to upgrade kit , have a ms 441 a year old and genuinely not done a lot of work so too it to my local dealer wanted to part exchange towards a 3120xp ,so a bit of money to be mad by dealer

The dealer sold me the saw a year ago but no deal was to be done would not be interested in the saw as no one buys seconed had saws ,I was not looking for silly money Evan prapared to go under value a bit to help buy needed new saw

Went home a little angry phoned round thee other dealers only to be told the same

Why is this is it to keep new prises high ,do we have to keep unwanted saws at the back of the shed gathering dust

My local dealer sells seconds, but I prefer to pick them up before they've been looked at, had me a fair few part ex's for cheap before they reach the shelves
