266 Value?

[Spruce Pirate]

Difficult as it is to believe, I've come to the realisation that I've too many saws!

 

There's a boy down the road looking for a new (to him) saw for cutting firewood, only for part time use. I've an old 266 sitting on the shelf, always kept as a back up saw, but realistically it's not been used much in the last couple of years and I don't really see me using it much more. All I need to figure out is how much it's worth. He's looking for a cheap saw, I'm willing to sell it, so anyone any idea how much to ask for? I see one on e-bay for £175 at the moment, seems a bit much to me, am I under-valuing it?

If its like the one Andrew sold then…yes. Good knick and good compression is a winner !

Thanks guys, it's a bit dirtier that yours Andrew, but it wouldn't take much to clean it up. A good clean and a new plug and it should be a good saw. Compression is good on it.

 

Did the £180 include bar and chain Andrew?

Im sure he is eternally grateful ..and still is sitting on them just waiting for the time when folks come in fed up with auto tune and m tronic pleading for a saw to cut wood

£150 - £175 if in good nick. You have to remember that you could pay near that for a Chinese saw, not get spares a year later and it will break.

The Husky will be worth that in five years and spares will still be about one way or another.

For someone doing a bit of logging.....worth every penny!
