I'd say pretty darn good if she runs - congrats!
 
I've got an MS250C. Nice saw, except the bar oil cap can be somewhat tricky to reinstall. There's definitely a learning curve.
 
Great deal if she's a runner and the basics are good - congrats! Cheers1

I'd say you have done well !
 
How's the bar & chain? That's become the tipping thing for me on saw deals. I got a MS250 this spring for $60, but spent more than that for a new B&C once I got it home. Very happy with it though.
 
I have a friend that runs a chain bar business in the PNW, maybe it's time to enquire into what they sell.
 
Nice find. Mine is 2 years old and has been great. Probably cut 12 cords, never a problem.
 
You did really bad!!! I do feel sorry that you got taken so bad. That out of the goodness of my heart I will give you your money back and allow you to send it here. Glad I was able to help!!

I'd buy it and flip it. Quick sell at $150 easy.
 
Well I replaced the chain, added some fresh pre-mix, bar oil, she runs and cuts great. I love the way it idles.
