Well, it's not terrible. Probably the worst thing is the damage that could have been caused by the sling. The rusty area is only on one side and not typical of an overfire burn. The top and even the flue look decent. It probably was stored in a nasty environment.
It is a certified stove and Lopis are not cheap.

What I was thinking is, how did it get that rusty if it was ,Just removed from house ?
It was removed after the fire department finally got the fire put out.

HDRock, the rust looks deeply embedded as if it had been there for quite some time. It is not the kind of rust you may accumulate over one burning season from a little boiling water. That stove has been stored like that for a while; at least I think so.

Hello
It could have been used very little, then stored for a long time in a very damp must place. Dampness is a stove's worst enemy!
If it was used more, it may have looked better!
But when they stated this? "Very nice Just removed from house." Of course they may have stored it on a porch or something but that is not being "just removed from the house."

The add clearly says , Just removed from house, I don't buy that , and I would not give $850 for it

Take a look, make you own evaluation and base your offer on that. There are 100 opinions here, not that they are bad, but you are the one who is paying. Do your homework.
I have done my homework ,and got a nice used Lopi Republic.
I posted this because I thought it was LAME,

You made it sound as if you were interested. I meant nothing by my comments except that this is supposed to be a somewhat of a fun forum to exchange ideas and conversation. I've taken some hits over here also. Lighten up!

I thought it was a pretty funny post. How can people hope to sell something with an ad like that? At least they could take the chains off and chisel off the deeper rust and window crap.
Some people actually live that way and are not concerned what others may think about it.
I think a picture is what gets the item sold. I would rather cheat and make a nice picture than have to explain that it really does look better. Selling plastic things, a little wipe down with wd-40 sure makes them shine for the photo, would have made that stove look freshly black.
