Need quick advice on purchase

[Cedarjunki]

Craigslist find. 2008 enviro evolution. Ef5

He is asking 350.00 for stove, pipe and ash vac. I already bought the ash vac. The stove needs an extreme cleaning.. dust bunnies wise. But does work.

Are they any good???
Is it worth $250.00???

Short answer YES
If that stove were hear it would be gone
I pick up stuff like that (Enviro only )
Clean Paint and get running . Then sell them for 15 to 18 hundred
with no problem at all
I would say jump on it with all the extras can't go wrong

From the quick look i took. It seems in very good shape paint wise. It just looked like a cat lived inside the back panel. One of the buttons on the control pad cover has cracked and opened up. But i see the face plates are replaceable. The only thing he mentioned is sometimes it didnt light on the first try. At times he had to just restart and then it was running fine. Possibly just dirty or the ignitor getting weak?
