I have a HearthStone Homestead #8570F that was in the house we just moved into (first owner-2012). We would like to get rid of it to redo the fireplace. What is the suggested resale and how do I go about finding a buyer?

This is a tough one to judge, the price will depend on the age and condition of the stove. If it's in great condition it might bring $1500 to the right buyer, otherwise $1000-1200. It was one of the few hearth heaters of it's the time.
What is the future plan for the ZC fireplace? It may have been modified and no longer safe to burn in.

Thank you for the info! It is a 2011, in good shape and we were told it heated the house well last season. We have discounnected it and pulled out the old manufactured fireplace to get a new insert, because you are correct-it would have been unsafe.
Go over it with a damp rag to clean off the ash dust and clean the glass to make it present well. Try offering it a $1400 and be willing to come down in price to a serious buyer. Note that this stove is 360# so the buyer needs to be prepared for safe moving.

Saw this one just listed on Facebook Marketplace:

I'm needing a new stove for my home. I used to have a BlazeKing Ashford but pulled it out because of draw problems. Figured a reburn stove would work better. It's needed only for supplemental heat in a larger home (2800 square feet). Our minisplits don't work when it gets real cold out.
I wonder if this stove would be a good choice and if the price seems fair. Seems to me a bit high given it's age (2012).

The Homestead is not ideal. It's a shallow firebox stove, mostly designed to sit on a fireplace hearth. It has high hearth insulation requirements. For an easy breathing stove, look to some Canadian models from Regency, PE, Osburn, Drolet.

Thanks so much, Begreen. High insulation requirement to get decent draft?
You've given me those same suggestions before. I'll stick to those. Thanks.
It has short legs and a hot bottom. Not an issue for a fireplace hearth, but it is on a wood stove hearth built from scratch. With the short legs on that stove, it requires something like R=6 protection.

I built my own hearthpad with slate tiles but I put it on regular plywood so it's probably best to make sure the stove doesn't stress test it. Sure came out nicely though.
