Mall 2MG value/price

[Matt Thie]

I found a Mall 2MG with a 36" bar for $250. It looks really rough cosmetically (lots of dirt/sawdust, scratched paint, rusty bar) and the ad doesn't say anything about it beyond "Chainsaw with 36" blade", so I have no idea if it runs or not. My wife thinks I'm nuts for even considering it. There are a lot of threads on this model, but most are several years old so I wanted to post a new one to see what it might be worth now. Is $250 a fair price, assuming it runs? From what I've found online, a 36" bar costs anywhere from $85-$150+ by itself depending on the brand and dealer, not including a chain. How easy is it to find parts for a 2MG nowadays?
