SELLING How much are these 2 084s worth

[Bomar]

I have 2 084s that i would like to sale as a package but i dont know what to ask for them. One is a strong runner 150 compression, cosmetically in good shape and the muffler is mint. The other one needs work, it needs broken muffler bolts extracted from head(hard to say if its salvageable),at the minimum it will need a muffler cover. Cosmetically it will need a air filter cover and the Recoil has a couple broken fins. What would be a fair ballpark figure for bolth saws? Located in oregon

That real full wrap is pretty cool. Don’t see those often on a stihl.

 

[Bomar]

Yeah its a pretty sweet handle. I have actually swappped handles and the ful wrap is on my runner.

Fixed it for you

 

[RI Chevy]

No help needed. TY sir.

 

[mettee]

No help needed. TY sir.

It was just a joke, sorry, that didnt go over as I had hoped

 

[RI Chevy]

LOL. No worries.
Just curious if the P&C were pristine or scarred. Tough to get these 084 parts these days.

 

[Bomar]

Piston looks good

 

[RI Chevy]

OK. TY. What are you looking to get for these? I wouldn't even know where to start as far as pricing.

 

[Bomar]

I think i am going to list them for $1200 plus shipping $900 for the runner and $300 for the parts saw

Well you do know what they are worth then? Reason nobody has put a price on what they think its worth is it would probably upset you. Valuing a used item is pretty simple start at new price and work backwards for age, condition, desirability, cost of spend to restore them to serviceable condition, is it current model or superseded, what year it was made, are spare parts still available, does it have a warranty etc. So start with a new MS880 that comes with new B/C & warranty & work backwards with every factor above considered. At the end of the day they are blocks of metal & plastic, don't let personal emotion hinder the valuation process, the person buying the saws does not value your personal emotion attached to an item. Be realistic, what would YOU pay for saws if you were buying them today? You really have 1 saw & a bonus incomplete parts saw to assist the sale. Price them correctly and they will sell, get it wrong or be to ambitious & you waste your time/energy. The best traders value them right so they sell fast, a saw looses desirability the longer its on the market, it instinctively tells buyers that its been over-priced or something is wrong with it. Fast sale is a good one. Be honest & describe saw correctly, good traders do this well. Really there true worth is what someone is prepared to pay for them. Good luck

BTW how much is a current new MS880 with B+C in the states? MSRP & street price (real price)?

 

[oaky]

around 2000 new
then street anywhere from 1000-1400

 

[oaky]

how long has the parts saw been opened up

 

[oaky]

more detailed pictures would help to sell this.
pull the muffler from the runner and youll get some offers most likely.

 

[Bomar]

I put this same post up on arboristsite and got a couple responses so thats where i came up with the $ figure. Nobody is going to upset me giving me a guess in what they are worth. I dont even want to sell them if i could avoid it i am just trying to trade them for 1 decent 088 and see if i am in the ballpark valuewise asking for a straight acroos trade for a 088.

 

[RI Chevy]

Any vids of the good running Oh84?

 

[Bomar]

I can pull the muffler and get some videos of it running and oiling tomorrow. I am off to work to cut trees off powerlines in all this damn snow we are getting in Oregon.

 

[RI Chevy]

No hurry. Be careful. Safe cutting. Snap some pics of your work if you can. [emoji106]
