So these ere ms260's....

[wisecobandit]

So a deal was struck for an ms260 so I've got it and stuck it with the rest of the saws at the mo.. Now this is one of the last ones being a 2010 before the 261 came along. It's hardly seen any wood. Question is part of me thinks as its got a following and a bit iconic do I sell it on or just stick it away for 10 years in the attic or just keep it as a play thing?? What do we all reckon? I can't see the price increasing in much of a dramatic way in my opinion.

They are great saws. I'd love another but wouldn't pay a premium.

Use it. It won't improve with age but it's unlikely to let you down much.

Oh and what figure is it worth?

That's my thoughts although its not a saw I'm likely to use as the 357 tends to be my goto saw in general.

Hi

 

The 260 is a greet saw, check it over, sharpen up the chain & use it every day. I have one with a 16" bar, bit of an old one but very good.

 

The bit about keeping it 10 years made me smile, thats the sort of thing to do with a nice Bordeaux or Burgundy! Ah the 2010 vintage Stihl 260? a quintessentially good year for Stihl with a slightly wet summer, produces a very pleasant bouquet of 2 stroke when revved...

A new 261's about £450 from the Mr Jones with a standard bar/chain.

A clean tidy 260's got to be worth £200-£250 I'd say. More on eBay no doubt.

PM me if you want sensible money for it. My old 023 and 025 could do with retiring.
