In the seller's own words, "Beautiful Fisher "Grandpa Bear" Wood Burning Stove, complete with blower and all accessories & piping and even the complete chimney included for use! Just professionally swept! $400 OBO. $400 is less than HALF of what these models are going for used on Ebay!"

They appear to be Grandma III doors on something that is not a Fisher product.
ALL Fisher products except a Fireplace Insert had the patented step top.
Angle iron corners were also top to bottom.
Even the firebrick retainers, if there are any are not installed like Fisher.
You would need better pictures to tell if they are GM or GP doors, the opening also looks like GM, it is not wide enough for GP.
The only way anyone can claim it is a Fisher product is having the original literature or receipt that came with it or an identification tag which I'm sure there is none.
The ad doesn't state "includes the illegally reduced connector pipe" and "incorrect size floor protector" either.
If it was just professionally swept, they should have been told about the insufficient floor protection and side clearance. I doubt that the rear and right side wall is non-combustible. That requires 36 inches in ALL directions to combustibles. Perhaps that is why they are selling it?
 
I hope that a potential buyer does their research before buying any woodstove, especially one that is this "unique".
 
ALWAYS beware on eBay and craigslist. Most sellers don't know what they have and give tons of misinformation. Then people see a double door stove called a Papa somewhere and think they have a Papa with two doors, and on and on it goes.... That was one of the reasons I started the Everything Fisher thread.
