I'm looking into buying a Harman P68 and was wondering if $2500 was a good deal for a used stove.

I don't think I'd jump on it for that price. $1200 to $1500 depending on it's age, is what I would pay.

I bought a P68 used its 4yrs old. Roadking is right on with new pricing just saw the 68 at a local fair, vendor had a 68 set up with price on it of 3,498 (that was with a 10% off) The thing you need to keep in mind when pricing these out is what options does it have? For example the trim kit runs about $340 including the artwork (I might be off just a little on prices trying to remember) Heat shields about another $100, larger hopper $250. So the base stove could be $3,400 with options it could be $4,100. It seems its also hard to find a 68 I don't see many listed for sale in my area so if you come accross a deal on one you might want to grab it. From what I've seen the list used for 1,800 - 2,600 on avg. CT/NY/MA area. 2yrs old is also pretty new IMHO
the lady wont move off of 2600 says thats what she owes on it., oh well i will move on and find something else. i offered her 1900 cash and could be there first thing in the morning. my local harman dealer said it would be worth about half price being two years old.

Your price seems fair. I see a lot of them listed in the 2-2500 range but there always negotiation. If I list something for 2500 that means 2000 cash will take it usually.
"the lady wont move off of 2600 says that's what she owes on it" Only paid off $1,00 in 2 years? Must be a high interest financing, or cc and making min payments! Tell her to try selling a car for what she owes instead of what it is worth.
well, its a sale, and negotiation comes in at some point, but if she wont move, hey, no biggie, you just dont buy it from her.........if she's unwilling to move to a more mutually agreeable offer, I guess its just "thanks, but no thanks......here's my number if you change our mind....good day", or somesuch.......
lol- well, sure, but youre a nice guy......Im not encumbered by such shackles......
