Untested units are often on the lower end, while working ones can fetch closer to $100.Poulan Pro 42cc $70 – $110This yellow model is popular; working versions with a case can reach $110+, but sitting for years usually drops it to the $70 range.Poulan "Wild Thing"$45 – $80 Known for its distinctive green/purple look. "Ran when parked" units typically sell for $45–$50, with fully serviced ones going higher.Potential Issues After Years of Storage If you decide to try starting them, you'll likely encounter a few common issues caused by old fuel:Brittle Fuel Lines: The rubber lines often rot or crack when sitting.Gummed Carburetors: Old gas turns into "varnish," which clogs the tiny jets inside.Hardened Diaphragms: The internal carburetor gaskets lose flexibility, preventing the saw from pumping fuel.Pro-Tip: If you're looking to sell, you'll get a better price if you can at least confirm they have good compression (the pull-cord feels "springy" and has resistance) and a strong spark. Clean units with their original bar covers generally move faster on local marketplaces.
