Ten bucks. Supposedly just needs fuel lines, purge button, and the little plate to cover the carb. We shall see.

I've got a couple.
A Stihl MS180c I picked up for $25. Gas had sat and gummed up the carb. Put a new carb on and it works great. Nice light little saw for limbing and light work but that stupid "intellicarb" is a bad design.
Same guy as the Stihl, I picked up a perfect Echo gas hedge trimmer for another $45 (can't remember the exact model number off hand but it starts first pull and is very powerful) He was a young guy who was moving and didn't really know what he had nor did he care.
Finally is a brand spankin new Stihl MS362 M-Tronic I picked up for $375. The guy bought it brand new in 2015 (provided me with the receipt and warranty info and I checked with the dealer he bought it from to be sure it wasn't stolen). The saw literally isn't even broken in yet - probably a few tanks of gas through it only. The story on it is the seller worked at Boeing but had planned to start doing tree work on the side with a buddy. He went and bought the saw (and a 193t but I didn't have any need for that one) brand new and things never panned out. He wanted $500 for the 362 but again, he was moving and agreed upon $375. I had to drive about an hour each way to get it and had to rush home to see my Gamecocks play Vandy in the first game of the season, but it was definitely worth it.
Now if I can just find a Poulan 5200/5400 for cheap

How about this guys???
I met this guy from Letgo.com right across the state line in Georgia...retired Engineer, bought the saw new, said that him and his wife just moved into a Condo and are done with the country life!
$150 deal: Stihl 026 with 16 inch bar/chain, 2 extra RS chains, two chainsaw tools, small jug of oil, 1 small container of fuel mix, a gallon jug with a half gallon of pre-mixed fuel, original owners manual, 3 new spark plugs, and a fairly heavy duty Cant hook/Log prop.

Good question about the lawyer....he lived in NJ when hurricane Sandy hit....he had 5 oaks that blew down, and this is what he used to cut them up. Basically, that's all he used it for. He told me not to throw away the chains when they get dull, because they could be sharpened
