I see a wide variance in price

[timberturner]

on the stihl 017, and as i look for a good carving saw, i'm needing multiple bars, and chains...

what's a fair bid on new or last years machines


thanks

021 I think is more widely used for carving. I prefer the 026, 346xp Husky or Echo 4400.

I saw an 018 at a local pawn shop that looked brand new. They are asking $50. If you are interested I will check later in the week to see if its still there. If you send me the cash plus shipping, its yours.

I just had a fella who carves trade me his 017 in on a used Echo 302. He never liked his 017. He likes the 20 year old Echo better.

Many are buying the 3450 Echos for carving saws.

Tony, wouldn't an 088KD work better???
