Post by: Lnewman on March 16, 2013, 04:09:30 AM
Is there a market for an old Homlite Super XL ?  What should I charge for it?

I still have one too. Still cuts. A little noisey and heavy for its power though. I run it once in a while for kicks and remember the late 60's early 70's. Nothing I would buy now. Just a museum piece to me.
Look on ebay for a price there are still quite a few around.

One of the most popular saws ever made, and they are everywhere, so the value will never be very high for them. Too old a design for the average consumer to be interested, and the large number of them out there keep the price down for the enthusiast community. $50 is average; could approach $100 if mint and with an almost new bar and chain.

I've got 4 or 5 of them myself. They are fun to run and I'll cut a pick up load of firewood with one now and then.
