Old Homelite Value?

I got the Super Wiz 80 running great. I have cut some ash with it and, while it is much slower than my other saws, it sure has torque! Except for the paint, the saw is in great shape. I can only find one small problem: the chain seems too long for the bar. The chain adjustment is maxed out and there is still slack. Since the chain is new, I wonder if it is a link too long.

Anyway, I am thinking of eBaying this saw. Is this a saw that a collector would want, or is it so common that I should keep it in my garage? I realize that I am not including a picture, but my camera is not working right now.

I realize it isn't a stihl or husky, but I would like your opinions just the same. Thanks.

I haven't been watching Ebay much lately, but I'd guess you'll see about $50-80 for the Wiz-80. If the paint was excellent maybe more. Chainsaws go stratospheric on Ebay, but that Wiz isn't going to get as much as a newer saw that someone would actually use in the woods.

That is kind of what I was thinking. Well, it does make a nice wall hanging in my shop. Maybe in 10 years, it will be worth more. I have it cleaned out and prepared for storage. Thanks, eyolf!
