MS260 EBay

Have mostly made up my mind to buy a saw from the 026...MS260...MS261 lineage. I see this guy selling ALOT of "rebuilt" MS260s.

So my questions...has anyone ever bought one of these from this site? If so was it what was expected?

That's a lot of chains and bars! I'd just as well buy one with one bar and one or maybe two loops. You'd have to figure out the length you would want. I think people bid up pro saws on eBay to where they get too much for them. I sold a MS 290 that was six years old in good shape for what the guy could had bought a new one for! I'll attach a screenshot of the auction ending he paid $344 for a six yo saw after shipping charges! I was thrilled but was a little surprised by it! Whatever....

Oh, no doubt folks get caught up in the clicks...just one more bid.

I also think that's a bit excessive. I'd prefer 1 bar length and a few chains for that rather than 3 different lengths.

If you have the budget it does look to be in really good shape but I would think that will go for well over $600 by the time the auction ends. I had the same 3 bar set up when I had my MS261 except I ran .325 rather than 3/8. An extra bar and chain is good to have with you when cutting in case you get your bar pinched.

If it was next year and I had the cash I would be interested. I will be getting a bigger saw next year.
