Ha, I saw that as well and was baffled. There have been quite a few Tiny Tigers on eBay lately I’m varying condition but they still seem to hover around $125-175.

I know something!

It's one of two things, the seller won't actually get paid because it turned into just making a point of the other person not winning or the winning bidder is a clueless idiot.

 

You guys seem to be doing well so far for catching good prices. I've paid $125 just for an engine in the past. Prices do trend up and down and just a few years ago competition for them was up there.

That's utterly stupid, I count at least four commonly missing parts too.

If they are making $600+ for a rough one, then I need to get my nice complete spare one sold. :hyper:

But there was two different bidders prepared to pay $600. :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

I’ve even really nice ones sit on eBay for months listed at Buy-It-Now for $350 or $450, sometimes with the case....

Here is what I said less than 12 months ago (post #2) when someone asked about the value of a Tiny Tiger, along with certain chainsaws they are very common, remember to check recent sold prices/completed listings, but be very careful with "buy-it-now" items as ePay hide the actual lower sold price if "best offer" was used. :banghead:

First, Welcome to the forum!

 

Second- $10 that’s an amazing deal on a Tiny Tiger, you’re very fortunate!

 

Third-can you add some photos of your carburetor? We can probably figure out which parts are missing. You’ll probably need a new diaphragm and gasket anyway.

Please post some pictures of the carb so we can identify the type & advise what parts are missing.

 

Also don't forget the clean out any old crumbly foam from the air cleaner/filter and check out the carb rebuild thread if you haven't already seen it.

Glad to hear you got it to fire so easily, that’s not always the case... Was the diaphragm still fairly soft and pliable?

Glad to have you aboard francisco!

I might have an arm for ya but not the spring. If you have a spring it's good even though those things seem a little flimsie.
