Value of 039
Thought I would get a couple opinions from the experts here.
I have a client who has an 039 Stihl 10 years old. It is in excellent condition but I have not seen or heard it run yet. Original bar and chain. Shows almost no wear anywhere.
Anyway, he wants me to give him "a price" for the saw in order so we can deduct this from the cost of my proposed tree work. During our last conversation, he says the saw on the internet is $630.00. He only paid 430.00 for it though 10 years ago.
To make a long story short, I believe the saw to be worth $125-175 max considering it is 10 years old and has been sitting a long while... am I off the deep end or in the ball park?
What say you?
