No, the 020AV is an old all metal top handle saw. The 020T is a more modern climbing saw, plastic engine covers, different engine.Here’s a pic I snagged off eBay of the 020av (found in post above)
What’s a never fueled MS200T worth?

Not yet. I have a good running 020 Super top handle but need to work on my other top handle and rear handle 020 before I unload anything.
You’re right. I’m referring to the old school 020AV with no plastic, just like the link that I posted.
I have two of the 200t I just rebuilt and am watching all the current fleebay offerings to get an idea of actual worth.
one just sold the other day for $620 + freight. The rest don’t even have bids or are set priced for way more than they should be worth, IMO.
$500-700 for a well built, reconditioned saw seems reasonable to me.
biggest problem with eBay is the set of fees they hit you with. To get a net of $600 the saw will need to sell for close to $750.
A couple months back I sold a bunch of misc stuff left over from our move. Some sold on the local CL but the rest went on eBay. That’s when I discovered it ain’t the same eBay of 20yrs ago, lol.
And, now I’m stuck with a 1099…

Avoid the bay if you can. They charge a 10-12 % final value fee, a final value fee on the shipping charges, and in some cases, a listing fee. As someone else noted, you will get a 1099 as well. Worst thing is the bay has no mercy for sellers. Last saw I sold was an 026. It came back with missing parts and they still took the buyers side. Can't even leave negative feedback for a buyer anymore.
13% is what I was charged and, yes, that is on the full amount incl. tax and freight to the buyer. It has become quite a racket.
Looks like we both replied within seconds of each other lol. I used to love ebay, but now I will only buy the occasional saw part from there.

The OP posted an interesting title and info about a new old stock 200T, and then the thread got derailed with mention of a different model that isn't bringing 200T kinds of prices... I'd sure like to hear about the OP's 200T.
Just go to eBay. There are still at least 2 in that category available. They have been there for months.

I'm interested in the OP's story, not Ebay.
I asked about the original saws location trying to lead up to face to face check it out and got ignored so wrote it off, good luck.
Glad this went off topic. I saw in action what I think was 201 and that is what I wanted rather than the AS coveted 170 that I got.
The 201 does not show up in shops around here, so I guess it would take some phone calls and road trip.
Nice hearing from guys that run modern saws every day.
If that 200 saw was mine I'd consider getting it massaged and running it the rest of my life.
It probably is worth x amount of 170s lol.

Whole different animal yes not real fun to work on.
Mine is in a lot better shape than this one and mine runs great. This thing is advertised as a part saw & he's asking $399. Mine is not for sale. I was just curious as to what it is worth.
I don't think anyone here would have told you to buy a 170 over a 200/1t unless money was of concern, and moat of us would have given the nod to a 40/50cc pro saw over the homeowner 170. That being said, for around $200.00 the 170 is hard to beat for the price and the expectations that should go along with it.

OP, tell us the story of how your 200T is still unfueled to this day.
Why does it matter?
EchoShindaiwaMakitaDolmar

You're not the OP, so why ask why?
Because your so insistent that it matters, and he has not told you, yet after every comment you persist is asking. Truthfully it doesn't matter why he never used it.

Asking someone why they're interested and curious about the thread and OP is a bit trollish and passive aggressive. Feel better. Off to the ignore list you go.
