we are a small business in Chemainus that buys your blown up or just plain parts saws, parts stashes and either they become parts donors or get rebuilt so whether it's bad news on the price of getting it fixed or just taking up space you might as well get some $ cash rather than having them just sitting around, fair prices paid and cash on hand - I buy Husqvarna, Stihl or Jonsered, not too interested in box store saws. Also will do work on your personal saws and usually have rebuilt saws for sale.
