If it has the screen and the door retraction isn't busted then the Easter Island, Combifire, stove is probably worth three hundred. I don't know why in the world you would want to burn in one but you probably are in the range people will take for one in good shape.
I had one in 1986, it came with the house we bought. I took it out in 91, sold it to a guy I worked with. I actually was going to the dump with it, after work. I mentioned that i had a woodstove that i had to get rid of. This electrician I worked with jumped up and said "i'll buy it! How much? " I told him $500, we dickered a bit, settled on $350. So after work, I delivered it to his house, helped him put it in the garage, collected the $350. My commuting buddy and neighbor was grinning the whole time. The next morning he came to me and asked, really begging, "Can I tell him??? Please?" After laughing my azz off, I said yeah, wth! About 10 minutes later the electrician passed me in the isle, yelling " You folking jew
" I laughed so much I was crying.... Hell, I'm laughing now!! It took him awhile to get over that 
I ran into this guy recently, the stove is still where I put it 22 years ago.... He wants $350, but I ain't ever gonna pay that

As odd as the stove looks it actually heated pretty well for its vintage. And folks like the clever stow-a-way door. Many used them as fireplaces in the cool weather and stoves in the winter. Check it out carefully, especially the door mechanism. Repair is not cheap.
