Dayton 4z252 / Poulan 5200 Value?

jinpdx · Mar 31, 2018

Hey everybody, my names Justin. First time poster, long time lurker. Been a member for a while though.
Anyway, I'm considering selling my Dayton 4Z252/Poulan 5200, but I not really sure of the value. I noticed one sold on here a couple years ago for a bit over $600, but it was a little cleaner then mine. Mine runs excellent, has a ton of compression and nothing is broke or missing. It does have worn paint and is in serious need of a good cleaning though. I never use it anymore, and it just sits in the back corner of the shop, and its kind of a shame. I know that the Poulan 5200s are well sought after, and the Dayton versions are quite rare. Anyway, I'm just curious about what you all think its worth.

Hmmm...... Not the response I was hoping for...

Value is set by the seller and buyer on an agreed price. If your looking to see what your saw
is worth today then I would suggest listing it on ebay where the whole world can see and
bid accordingly. It is not rare in my book as I have seen quite a few of them in the Dayton
colors. Not sure where you had seen the 600.00 figure but it would have to be NOS for me
to even think about dropping that kind of money on one.

Thanks for the reply. I didn' know you could list things on ebay, just to find out what they'e worth....
I glad you'e seen many in Dayton colors. From my research, many have not. As far as the $600 figure, it was right here, in the classifieds.

I sold one several years ago in very similar condition for about 250 if I remember correctly.

I use to want one of those and the high price kelp me away. I have seen a few sell on Ebay recently and I believe price has come down some. I believe saw prices in general have come down unless in super condition and/or a very desired saw. You can buy a pretty nice MS660 in that price range. There would be a lot of interest in your saw if listed.
