Selling an Old New Chain Saw?

You might be right about e-bay. I once put a Lego robotics kit up for sale for bid. It cost me $70 new. The final bid was $220.

Yes, parts are available. The current model is good seller, and I wouldn't be happy about a "test drive" on wood, or opening it up to any great extent. Enough maybe to show glistening new material. I could take a picture I suppose to show prospective buyers. I could refer them to the saw shop where I had it cleaned and started.

The mechanic that looked at it pronounced the interior in good shape.

Yes, probably a good idea to check. I think it's had a good history and there may be comparable sales.

You may be right, but I can see where some people may think that 10 years is worth a big drop in price. Makes negotiating a problem with them. I plan to be up front about it. I have no idea when the model went to the next version.

I sold an echo gas timmer I used 3-4 hrs to my lawn guy for 1/4 new, no I would not buy something I could not try, yea used once before Katrina, Ive heard that about cars.

Did he buy it?

So you can supply the shops number and techs name and a reciept that "opened it up" and verified its great and new. Because why would a shop open it and ruin the gaskets. You are in "an interesting position of trying to sell" Thats suspicious by how you have stated it.

I got $4300 for a travel trailer I paid $200 for.

Re-word your description to call it "NOS" (new old stock). People like NOS stuff! I personally think it would be fairly simple to tell from the outside of it that it's never been used. Either it's not used or someone took extraordinary measures to use it but keep it looking brand new. If it were used it would have telltale signs like little scratches and such. I'd have gas and oil in it so it can be started but I wouldn't let anyone to try cutting wood. That would surely make it look used.

It seems a lot of people here are acting suspicious of his description. He doesn't seem to be trying to sell it here,but instead asking the advice of people here as to how he can go about selling at the best price possible while remaining honest.

I have little doubt about the veracity of his statements. I might have more doubts if this *were* a Craigslist ad.

Give it for free to someone who is down and out that can make a buck with it. You will feel good. Remember, you forgot all about it.

I promise you this. If you get rid of it, you will need it within a week. Happens to me every time.
