Hey all. Looking for some input. Someone is selling a stove. I’m always hesitant to buy used stoves because you never know how they were treated. I’m guessing it’s probably not worth the price tag but looking for some Constructive advice. I have a few pics. Listing says it’s American heritage but he couldn’t provide SN or anything else to verify. Pics might be rough..always tough asking someone to post good pics

I would walk away and wait for a better opportunity.

That’s super old. I don’t even know if that old one is epa certified.

Model 8202 made from 1991-1995. It's listed as EPA exempt with apparently no air control.
