The value of a 064

[jmssaws]

Our 064 is neither minty, nor for sale... It's that always wants to come with no matter what the job kind saw... It looks a little rough, and it's mean as hell. Wouldn't trade it!! (Thanks, Treemonkey!)

I've had mine since it was new, it's a ported 066 cylinder now but it's my go to saw also, it's mean and reliable and my favorite.

Treemonkey builds a hell of a 064 for sure.

You have time vested in it then

My plan.
Complete with spark.
Go through it.
Use it like a chainsaw.

I figure I lucked into a cheap 262xp it can happen twice. Hell I had a guy give me a 440 with a toasted piston.

Are you saying you have one to trade ? For 262

 

[exSW]

No I have a 262. I scored it on EBay for 102.50. Runner. Went through it. Now it's a good runner. I'm gonna use it like a chainsaw and make money with it.

The saw is worth what someone will pay. Condition is everything, so you have that working in your favor. In general, I think porting helps sell the saw to some people, and Randy's sticker certainly more so than others. However, I don't think you can expect to recoup 100% of your porting costs.

I think you have been given sound advice. $500-600 for a good runner in decent condition. I sold one local for $525. Add $100-150 for 'minty' condition, add $200 for porting.

$550+$125+$200 = $875 would sell it quickly. At $1000 you are going to need the right buyer.

If a guy is looking for a working saw, he can buy a used 661 or a new 461 for approximately the same money. Seems the 288XP is direct competition to the 064 and cuts stronger, vibrates less and sells for less on the used market.

Running old saws for pleasure/firewooding is fun. I say you use the 064 and enjoy it cutting on your new piece of property. If you can't bring yourself to do so and could use the money, sell it. Otherwise, shelf it, enjoy looking at it, and hedge your bets that it will appreciate in value.

Happy new year!

Damn you and your level headed advice. I was trying to drive the market for minty 064s up sky high, so I could sell mine for top dollar! Thanks for nothing, Josh.
