BK princess insert used

[Tdm90]

I have a regency i2100m which is okay but can’t keep the boiler from running overnight. There are coals to get a fire going still and sometimes the blower is still on, but not much heat at all.

I found a posting for a used princess insert saying a year old for $2700 but I don’t think I could pay anything over 2k for a used insert.

Here are some pics. What do you think?

Ours is going on season 3. This one looks really dirty. Prob cosmetic but they didn’t even dust it for photos.

I’d offer less.

I mean it’s not a terrible price but I don’t know if people are mass shopping for used stoves.

I think 2700 is way too high, isn' that what a new one costs?, I doubt anyone pays more than 2k for that stove.

Yea I was thinking in the ballpark of $1500

How is your BK Princess Insert treating you?

Something is funny about the top. It might be really old.

Yeah, I would be checking in the corners behind the bricks on that one, for sure. And I'd want a pic of the metal tag to confirm the age.
What's going on there in the bottom front of the box, and what is that second pic?

It looks just like my stove.

On one hand it is a great heater that heats my whole house.

On the other hand, it is a used stove, possibly with a dead cat, at a new-stove price.

I would make an offer, but nowhere near the asking price. I'd also want photos of the bypass area before going to look at it.

Hopefully he made a decision since Jan 2018. But who knows...at that price it may still be for sale.

These things should come with a warning that the thread is years old and recently dug out of its grave....
