That thing would last almost forever if it was stored properly or ran on occasion just to keep it limbered up .One thing often overlooked though is the lube oil .Given enough time the stuff will wax up .A little bit of diesel or kerosine pumped through system will solve that problem .

On those used prices .I've seen them upwards of 550 on flea bay .Supposedly refurbished or in cherry condition .Most fetch 300 or a tad more . Now that could be listed 044 or 440 .
There's a couple right now that's had the snot ran out them fairly cheap .I'd guess with a usable case etc you...
Oh the price has gone off the charts on these danged things .Like a 200T going from around 500 to 600 in about a year .It wasn't that long ago an 084 was a tad over a thousand now an 880 is about twice that ,good grief .:O
From what I gather from Stihls sites around the world they never really quit making it or the 038 Mag .They just stopped selling them in North America .
