My friend has abt 4 years old MS270, he said logged abt 20 hrs on it, it look like new, what the worth for that? He said dont need it anymore cuz no time to do any cutting. Need feeback please. Thanks!
What's he asking for it? In like new condition it's probably worth $3-350. Anything under $300 would be a sweet deal.My friend has abt 4 years old MS270, he said logged abt 20 hrs on it, it look like new, what the worth for that?

You guys are brutal! "Like new" saw that sold for roughly $450 and you're offering less than half that. . If it was your saw for sale I bet you'd be singing different tunes.I'd offer $200 also.
You can set up a 270 with 3/8" if you so desire......Brutal? Not really. I typically pay $200 for nice used 310s and 260s here. A 260 is lighter and about the same power, and is a pro saw. 270s have the clam shell engine and they are just not that common or in demand around here. If I was selling a 270, I would maybe get $250 for it here? I can get $300 for a clean muffler modded 310. 260s just do not get any respect, and it is hard to get more than $250 for them in any condition. And I would rather have a 260 than a 270. Why drag around the extra weight or deal with .325 B&C and an engine that is far more difficult to work on?

I'd give 300 for a clean 270 over a 290 in the same condition.

Show me the minty 361 you are selling for $300 and I will gladly show you some dead presidents. Or maybe I'll offer $150.Who said anything about a 290?[
If you want to throw in other saw models, I would rather have a 361 for the $300, which I have paid for several of them. They only weigh a tad more than the 270. Far better saw.
Yeah... When I was shopping 036/361's, I wasn't seeing anything clean much below $400, with bar & chains.Show me the minty 361 you are selling for $300 and I will gladly show you some dead presidents. Or maybe I'll offer $150.

I am not selling them for that...
I have bought about a half dozen 361s here for $300 or less in great condition
Laugh all you want... and keep your dead presidents
Less hype = lower price. Husqvarna guys understand that one quite well.I don't see many 270 saws
$400 is about as low as a beat 361 will sell for in my area....... I bought my 372 for $350.
Interesting. I've worked on a lot more car engines than chainsaw engines, so I guess I'm used to inspecting the bore (and ridge) to guess mileage.Shiny piston is usually an indicator of wear. If it passes the compression test then I wouldn't worry about it. Shiny is polished and it gets that way from either a ton of use or dirt ingestion.
My 034 is pushing 30 years old. It has the lathe marks clearly visible on the piston.
