Help with value of Late Father in Laws Chainsaws

[scz4]

Evening all,

I know nothing about chainsaws other than they scare the crap out of me.

Can anyone help guide me on what these could be worth, assuming they're in ok working order. ChatGPT says they could be worth more than expected, but have someone interested but don't want them to take advantage.

Have a look at ebay prices, particularly 'completed listings'.

I think the small one £200+, the big one £400+,
Assuming fully working in good nick.

To get top ebay prices you often have to be prepared to post.
But this is an item I'd not buy unseen or untested.

Thanks for that. Not looking for top dollar, just a fair price for someone we know.

Bear in mind they look maybe in need of a service, or at least a good clean.
A quick sale is worth something IMHO.

OTOH, you don't want to give them away for someone to make a quick buck.

I agree with OutInTheShed. It would help if you listed the bar length and condition and included some pics with the covers off. Huskies are OK but are harder to service (or get parts for) compared to Stihls. They're good saws if they're running OK. Have you fired them up?

If you can, include some pics with the bars (from above/below) without the chains on. That will show if they have some wear or not.

Believe they were both bought new around 2017 and just been used "around the garden".

Just one picture with the cover off.

The 340 is worth around £120. The 560xp is quite specialised, requires xp or similar higher grade 2 stroke oil and could potentially be £300 if in good shape and running well.

Neither of them are massively desirable I am afraid, the original 560s were troublesome which is why there is a mk2 version, I would say 300 is top end for the 560xp and the 340 100-200 maybe.

XP is just the professional range from Husky.

Off the top of my head, 560xp £275, and the 340 £150 for an easy sale to a friend would probably be about fair. Maybe £400 the pair.

Have a check on eBay / Facebook marketplace to get an idea.

The 340 is much older than 2017. You can get the age of both from their plates.
