    It looks to be in decent/ good shape. Bar looks like crap. Guy wants $450... I'm thinking $150

    Pics ... Pics............ Pics !!!
    Id say if it looks good... And the motor is good... The bar can look junky but still may have life left in it... Even in paintless form ! The seller is too high... And you are lowballing ! Meet in the middle somewhere... And all will be fine.. I hope ! But for an accurate appraisal.. We need some pics... Maybe a compression reading too !

    Bar doesn't matter, but for $450 the powerhead would need to be near mint.

    Those are dang good saws and if in good shape should be worth $300 or so.

    I was thinking 200-300.

    I sold a 268xp for $300 with brand new 272 topend and 20" b+c.
    Took a broke saw and gun in trade. I figured them worth close enough to the 300 asking price.

    For that much scratch it better be NIB with original paperwork & sales receipt.

    Thanks for the help all! I will try to link to it.

    Yep B&C no matter to me, I'd replace it anyway.

    CL people drive me nuts! They think everything is worth the same or more than they paid for it or that after 12 years it should be priced at $20 below MSRP on the new one on some website :mad:

    Is this the one? It's showing up mine too. It was gone for a couple of days then just reappeared. I question that old off orange last pic.

    Yea, when you posted it I was like I kinda of remember seeing something like that. Then looked again, it was gone. Thanks, but I'm not interested in it either. But it was kinda of different for what I see come through CL.
