These do command very high prices on eBay as used saws. If you are into occasional use, you should look at used prices and maybe find that you could sell your older saw, buy a new STIHL battery saw, and still have $$$'s in your pocket. Just a thought. However, no matter what you decide, a very sharp chain can make all the difference in performance and help to reduce injury. Places like Gilford Home Center are servicing Stihl dealers that should be a great help and close by. I use Stihl exclusively and find their equipment to be top notch....and comparable to Husqvarna. But really consider the battery option.
I've thought about what you're suggesting. didn't know how real some of those bay postings were- $400 (for broken ones) up to $1100! use will be some property clean up as described above, then occasional use. thanks.
