His eBay description states "chrome" doors and "thick boiler plate steel". How people put a price on something when they don't know what they have is beyond me.
 
There's no baffle plate on the bottom of flue like mine have. Did not all fishers have the baffle under the flue?
 
Normally they do .
I believe the stove for sale is a VI and should look like this, front, back, and inside;

There were drawings sent to fabricators for a Model VII near the end of production, but I don't know if any were made. Without seeing the tag, we don't know what this is.

I asked the seller for a picture of the tag with no response.
Any collector is going to want to know where it was made and date.
