I have a beautiful saw in almost new condition.
I used it to cut up approx. 10 cord of wood.
Has a 18" bar.
It just sits now and have no use for it.
If interested please let me know.
I may trade towards a snowmobile trailer must be 101" x 10'

Good saw but you could do much better, $-wise, if you have time to wait for a deal to fall in your lap.
For that $ I'd be buying from a dealer that would stand behind it.
 
That saw is close to 5 bills at a dealer. Get him down to $300 and it might be a good buy if it is in real good shape (might want to have a dealer check it out if seller will allow)
 
See if the seller will let you have it looked at by a Stihl dealer.......
 
Because it is the pro model it is higher priced. You'll get a much better deal with the Farm Boss models and they are good saws. The pro saws are lighter though.
