Minty MS 460 value?

What is the going rate for a really nice MS 460 power head only? Starts easy, idles smooth and cuts strong.

 

IMO $500-$600

 

Depends on geographical location.
Someone in Jersey was asking $650 for a pizz pounded 460. Told him he was on crack......then he got sad and cried

 

Neither one of the two I owned were mint, but the most I have paid is $189.

 

I offered 5 bills and he wouldn't take it.

 

No pics and yes it is bone stock pho. Not new in the box mint it has been used but not much by the looks of the plastic and the paint on the bottom. I don't really need it but you know!

 

Well, not having a bar and chain on it has to be taken into account. A 28" bar/chain (pretty common on that size saw) is going to set you back another hundred so allow for that. I think that since the saw is not current production (replaced by 461) that $500 for a pho is a fair price for a nice saw. Why doesn't it have a bar on it?
If the guy turned down $500, how much does he want?

 

It has a 20" bar and chain and he wants 600. I offered 500 pho.

 

I have bars and chains that will work.

 

Is the 20" bar in really nice shape? If so, that's $50. Maybe offer him $550/$560 or so and see what he says. 20" bars are very handy to have around. I use that length more than any other on most of my saws.

 

I'd probably try to wait him out.

 

I would say your about rite with your offer..

 

I didn't think I had lowballed him by any means. I don't really need it so if I can't get it at my price I'll let er go.

 

$600 is darn cheap.

 

I want to sell saws to you folks. I sold 660 with 32" b+cx2or3 $600, ported 066 with new 25" $600, 372's ported and stock etc $400. 346's like new looking $300 stock, ported 346's $350-$400.
To me a used 460 400-500.

 

I have been eye balling this one one my local C/L for $500, However cant justify buying another saw right now

Very nice Stihl ms460 chainsaw with 32 inch stihl bar and chain. This saw has massive power as it was built before all of the restrictions by the EPA. The saw starts and runs like it is brand new. Dual port muffler and modified by Woods loggers supply in Sedro Wooley. These are very highly sought after by timber fellers and loggers and firewood cutters. There is nothing this saw needs and is ready for every day use. These saws are getting very rare and hard to find especially in this kind of shape.

 

I would be cautious on that 460. Been dressed up with paint, pop rivets, hard telling what else.

 

yeah I noticed that broken air cleaner cover with the rivets, did not notice the dress up white paint ( or maybe a new cover) till you pointed it out, nice catch. Like I said cant really justify another saw anyway, unless i were to sell my 361 first
