    There is a local auction that has the described brush cutter. Anyone knowledgeable on the value? Being sold by a construction company closing out.
    Looks new. I suspect it was needed for a job or two.

    the Stihl website has an FS 460 that I presume is similar in engine size and performance with an update. It sells for 1,100 new.

    Anyone have an idea on second value for a very good condition unit?

    My general rule is I'd pay around half the new value, assuming it's in real good condition. Inspect foot, make sure no cracks, make sure it runs. Really depends on how bad you need it.
