MINT 044

[ENTS]

Went to an auction on Sat. looking to score what looked like (from the flier photos) to be 3 really nice Stihl saws, 025, 036pro, and 044.  What I found were those 3 saws but they weren't just nice, they were in MINT condition, NEVER used.  Someone else there knew the value of these saws and out bid me but I did come away with this:



Never used, 044, early 1990ish, still has the blue plastic protector on the 044 and Stihl logo.  I hate to even use this machine.  Guess I better finish that other 044 project so I don't have to use this new one.

Also came away with these but don't know what I'll do with them:



MALL 4MG



MALL 7H



HOMELITE 17

Also got a Super EZ auto that runs really strong (and loud).

what did you end up paying for the 044

$500, If it had not been for one other guy, it would have been a LOT less.  But still an excellent price (IMO).

  I think you got a good deal, but I'm a 044 fan too. ;) How's the rebuild coming along on the other one?                        TT

Finally broke down and ordered the Stihl piston.  I was going back and forth with the $$s, cheap one vs. not cheap.  Fianlly decided that this saw has to go to work so I'm sticking the good piston in it.  Should arrive this week.

The thoght has crossed my mind but I don't think you could offer enough.  I waited a long time for this one to come along.

I am not especially knowledgeable in this area, but that sounds like a steal to me.
