    Those Homelite Super EZ saws bring back a ton of memories! Growing up we cut a lot of wood with them!

    I learned something odd. I had a guy who parts saws out on ebay tell me that a stihl saw is worth 1.5-2x its retail cost in parts.

    He buys new saws and tears them down to part out on ebay. He told me he bought something crazy like $19k that year in saws at the dealer he uses!!!!

    I parted one out and used one a few times at work. Thats my experience with them...sorry.

    MasterMech is who you need to ask. But he said that they are probably one of the beat saws for your money stihl use to have. They have raised their price on them recently so not sure about that statement anymore?

    He I think has done a muffler modd on one to squeeze out more power. I can't remember for sure though?

    Its pretty much the same for anything old or used but new is kind of strange?

    Like look at junk trucks. May sell for $600 but then they sell the trans for that and the engine for that a door for $55 hood for $55 tires/rims for $40 each!
