Picked up a used Fireview....

[3fordasho]

Couldn't resist, not that I can use a third one, but for the price maybe it's just spare parts? In pretty good shape, needs a repaint and the top two stones need cleanup from a steam pot sitting on them. Original cat even looks usable. Came with a bunch of double wall connector pipe too..

Sweet deal. Were they replacing it with a bigger stove?

No, the gal selling said she was relocating soon and selling/renting the house it was installed in. The renter didn't look to happy that it was leaving, but If I was the landlord I wouldn't want the renters burning wood either. She knew full well the value of the stove but needed it gone quick... I was able to help her with that ;-)

Good deal. someone is selling a two year old Fireview in NJ but they want $1250. You really can't go wrong with $500. But what are you going to do with 3 stoves?

Don't know for sure but it'll be a nice little clean up/make look new project. Then maybe I'll just mothball it or see if I can sell it for a few $$. For the price and the fact it was only 20minutes away I just couldn't pass it up.

Wow! Heck of a deal. I sold my 5 year old Fireview for $1100. Maybe you can sell it this fall along with one of your other stoves and buy the new Woodstock?

Wow, great deal! pretty stove!!

Make sure you post more pics when you install it!

Niiiice! :coolsmile:

What a deal. You could switch them out to look over any maintenance they might need and you won't need to go stove shopping again.

Sounds like you got one of those deals that come around very rare. Good for you?

 

[3fordasho]

Here she is after about 30 minutes of cleanup (vacuum, clean glass and steel wool the top stones)

 

[begreen]

Wow, with a repaint touchup it would look factory new.

 

[heatwise]

That looks great.

 

[BrotherBart]

What a find!

 

[Backwoods Savage]

Fantastic! What does it look like when you open the top lid?

That's awesome! Good score! Maybe you can find a family in need and hook them up with a great stove for cheap.
