I can tell you that at most small engine shops, the only used Echo stuff you will find is already junk. Usually scored bad. I work all day every day on Echos, and if it is not junk, it's get repaired for the customer, or repaired and sold as used.
I have found the weed wips like new. They are hard to start for some people because of hi compression. I had one given to me....like new. I did do work on the persons other everything so that worked out good. Capt,n
