What is a lightly used Stihl MS-200T worth?

Never had the issue. I had a 200 blow half a tank of gas in my face on a hot day.

That sounds horrible.

Yea.. Not ideal. Venting issue. I have had it a lot with the 200's, not so much with the 201's, and never with a 338 or a 540. Probably no correlation. Just luck of the draw.

Hell, I even ran a t435 while my 201 was getting it's medical procedures taken care of. No complaints. Different saw.. But don't expect it to do what anither one can. Adjust technique accordingly. I dunno.

They all can cut okay if you adjust cutting technique, like you said.
A crisp chain always helps to.

I just realized I kind of derailed this here train, and ranted and raved like a lunatic. My apologies.

I say NO MORE than 500$ would I pay for it. And it would have to be in pretty damn good shape to get that out of me, really.

Showing my ignorance here, what is the ballpark price for a new 201? Just so I can get a feel for the relative cost of buying new versus buying used. I know I'm comparing two different items; it's just an attempt to compare a saw that is similar but readily available new to a used version that might be more rare. Thanks in advance for any responses.

'Bout 550-600. Dealers vary.
