I was looking over Craigslist and saw s Stihl chainsaw for sale and did a search and found a couple insteresting offers. I am not sure I am in the market but what do you think of these deals. One is for a Stihl S10 (they called it a 510, but doing research I think it is an S10) made around 1960s in mint condition $225 (no chain brake but a collectors item), a 660 for $600, 880 for $900, 034 for $130. Assuming they all run good, what do you think of these prices and would you buy any of them?
 
off the top of my head, the 880 is priced well if it runs well. The 660 is too. I'd snatch up the 034 if it has good compression. that's a great deal as well.

Do you know if the 880 and 660 were used by pros? they could be beat up pretty bad...
 
Do you plan to use them, or just collect them? I'm not sure on the S 10 value, but as a regular use saw you could prolly do better with a newer style saw in the same price range. The others are what I think is about normal value for used condition. The one that catches my eye is the 066, if in decent running condition, that's not a bad price. The 880 imho is good for milling, & cutting 48" + wood, otherwise, just plain cool cause it's a monster. Jay's position is that a 660 will out cut the 880 in any but the largest wood, & I fully agree with him. The 034 is a very nice mid size firewood saw @ a decent weight, although the 034 super is more cc in the same chassis. Ultimately if it were my money, I'd want a good look @ the 660 first. Please note that this free advice is worth exactly what you paid for it. Let us know what you decide. A C
 
I really have not seen them in person, the 034 looks like a good deal (It is a super), kind of a sloppy picture but it looks decent and they lowered the price:

The 660 does not have a picture, it just says paid $1000 not used much. That does sound like a saw I would like to have.
The S10 looks in mint condition, I probably would not use it, just thought it was cool:

The 880 sounds like it is sold by a company that buys and sells anything, the bar looks good but it looks a little beat

I saw that 034........ if I needed a saw in that range and it had good compression, I would have bought it yesterday
 
The 880, 660 is Where I would focus. Depending on condition.
 
Grab that 034 if you've got the cash, I love mine for general firewood work. A C
 
How much bigger is an 034 Super than a 028 Super?

028 Super -- 51.5cc

034 AV -- 56.5cc

034 Super, 036, MS360 -- 61.5cc

I believe the weight for all three is very similar and in the 11-12 lbs range, but I have seen different numbers.
