A while back, I posted a cleaned and sharpened Disston thumbhole saw for $45. It sold in three minutes.
I have sold others in similar condition for $75.

I bought one at a flea market last Summer for $5. I'm thinking maybe I got lucky.

Hard to say as condition is everything. You've got to see it an fondle it if possible, unless the seller is knowledgeable and points out the apologies. Depth of saw plate (you don't want it filed down all the way), lack of kinks, and rust pitting are the key condition issues; just because its "cleaned" doesn't tell me much. Personally, I don't worry much about the handle, as that can be repaired, but it affects price.

ok, thanks for the input. I appreciate the saw which is why I bought it for $0.50 at a garage sale not knowing what it was at the time other than knowing it looked and felt like a quality saw. I didn't have any need for it but I liked it.
I did think 50 cents was a little low even not knowing what it was at the time.
