Title: Price for 051 and 064
Post by: Ducksnuff870 on February 13, 2013, 03:21:22 PM
I want to sell my 051. What is a good price? It has a 20" and i think 25" bar. With 2 good .404 chains for each bar.Its in good shape. I found and 064 in good shape they said $450 for it. I really want something jus a fuzz smaller than 064 but its all i can find close to home.

The 051 is at least 35 years old, might be worth $150 to a diehard Stihl guy. I worked on a lot of them in the 70's, it was a very popular felling saw, but too old to pack one of those tanks around anymore. Put it out on fleabay and see what happens.

I dont think I would pay $450 for a 30 YO saw (and a heavy one at that) unless I had a real sentimental/collection attachment.  Heck theres a 385 husky in the for sale section right now for $475.
