I'm thinking of selling my like new 5100s. It has 3 tanks of gas through it. It has a 16" .325 20lp 066 bar/chain. I pulled the plug and it's nice and brown. There is almost no dirt on the filter. I have to repair a vehicle so I'm thinking of selling the saw before I get too attached.
 
My guess would be around $275-$300.

At that price, you would be losing 25%, but it would sure sell fast - I think more like $325-350 if it really only has 3 tanks through it. The problem is, you have .325 pitch bar and chain - kind of undesirable on that saw.
 
I kind of agree..but that's what I run on mine and my 346's.....with the Stihl agressive .325...and 18 inch bars. Mine are modded so can easily handle 3/8th chain..But they are wicked fast with .325.

When I use up the 100 foot roll, I'll prolly switch to .375.
 
Hey outdoortype, thanks for the 5100!! It arrived yesterday, picked it up today. Packaged mighty well, too. It's even all shiny and stuff.....

here it is with its mate.

I'm glad you like it......

Roger,
I'm glad you finally got the 5100s. I was beginning to worry the Post Offfice may have lost it. As you can tell, I didn't use the saw enough for it to break in. But it sounded like it had potential.
 
You sent it late Wed, it arrived early Friday....but I wasn't home to sign for it...that's only a bit over 8 days. No worries, it won't get used except for some timed cut video comparisons....then its off to a saw builder. I've got 3 cube saws galore! Stocking up for the future, when current models will be obsolete thanks to the EPA.

Go here to see some videos of the piped saw in action.
