088 Value opinions

[unionvillecountryboy]

Theres an 088 locally, really clean barn queen. He wants 2k. Has a 30" and 47" bar with two chains each. Is this price high or reasonable?

High. New one is probably that or cheaper at a high volume dealer.

He told me an amount he would come down to, what should be fair/reasonable and a steal?

Seen 3120 go for 1100-1200 used on AS

The local rural king has an 880 for 1998 plus tax, not sure but I think choice of bar up to 42 or something. But his saw is clean, not sure if its ever been in wood. I'm sure it has, but not much.

I've been quoted $1550 for a 880 wrap saw new with a 21" or something short since they normally don't sell pho. I wouldn't go over $1200 on one that's used.

 

[unionvillecountryboy]

yea that's what I figured, probably won't happen as he said he bought it for 15 at an estate sale... Thanks sir

May just find an 80cc saw for big bar for bucking and use money for chainsaw mill to build a bandsaw mill.
