Does anyone know what the XL-12's/SXL's cost when they were new??

What is a good used one (good chain/bar, good sprocket, strong running, clean........) go for ??

The last SXL's sold for $299 new. I believe that was their price for years. As for used $0-$125. I have seen a few NIB that should bring around $250.

Old Blue and Big Red saws were still available from places like Harbor FReight and Northern Hydraulics until something like 1994. I got a big red then for $260, never opened the box, and eventually traded it for a deer rifle.

I've seen XL-12s on eBay in the $10-50 range, and good red SXLs going up to around $100 for a really sharp one.

HF still will sell you a Super2 or one of those types.
