Just another junk chainsaw

What's it actually worth? It's a sub $200 saw new.... So $50 to $60 is likely about it will fetch unless you Craiglist it out to an idiot for $125 or something insane like that.

I had a similar saw that was about 30cc. I listed it for $100 and I had people blowing my phone up to buy it.

I thought this was a good video on chainsaw repair>>> Seized 196s Chainsaw Restoration - YouTube

I just took it outside after sharpening the chain. It starts and runs as expected, cuts fine for what it is. It's tough because my experience in saw is a sample of one... My Stihl Professional 026. My Stihl is jumpy responsive, way faster spinning and all around feels totally different.

This thing starts, it runs, it cuts. It's more than good enough for someone who needs a saw 5 days a year or something for light property/trail trimming and such. I would expect it to not be really happy trying to process 16 and 20 inch logs into fire wood, but with it's 14" bar, I bet it loves snacking on 10 inch and under.

Nothing wrong with it at all, but I can't see me storing it in my garage.

Holy crap Batman! I just took pictures and put them in FB with $110 asking price, a guy wants to meet me in an hour. He's a fool!

Well, he just left. The wife is already holding the cash

And by the looks she's not letting go.

Yep, I held the money from the driveway to the kitchen... Then it vanished, never to be seen again.

Think about it from his perspective. It's a $179 saw that's hardly used and in good running condition for $110. That model saw got/gets consistently good reviews. If he's happy and you're happy, that's all that counts.
