Selling Price of a used Insert

[Lanningjw]

I am selling my CFM insert that I bought 3 years ago for $799. What kind of price is a fair selling price that I should be asking on CL.
The insert is small at 1.3 cf. It seems to be in good shape and has worked well.

What price to you think is a fair selling price?

I think $350-$400 would be a fair price if in great shape.

If you can hold on to it until fall when the weather gets chillier, it may be easier to sell at that time.

Thats what I was thinking but a guy in Minneapolis was advertising for a insert. I told him $500 and he said he was gonna keep shopping......

Thanks I am gonna e mail him just what you said.
Do you think it worth 350 to $400?

Though I am not a fan of that insert, it is definitely worth $500 close to the season given what people are paying for stoves on craigslist around here.

I learned lots with this insert and agree that it is not a grade A. But for the guy who wants to heat up the family room on Saturday nights it works fine. Its a very busy stove with the 1.3 qf box. I was able to lower my heating bills $100 a month. It was a good starter stove.
I dont think the general public knows a lot about wood burning insert. It helped me to learn by studying the forum, lots of good information.
