Good and rusty!

I guess my definition of "good" . . . and "fair" and "poor" are quite different.

Is that a Mountaineer?.....lol

More like:
"this is a good wood stove that has been left outside in the weather for the last 3 years"

You'll find a lot of those on CraigsList.

That's pure laziness. A new Englander can be had for $800 - $900. So why not at least attempt to remove the rust and put some polish on it before asking anything? People are oblivious

I learned pretty early on what things are worth...what someone in the free market is willing to pay. So many people buy things and then think they are going to hold their value. Some will...some won't

I feel like I need a tetanus shot now.

 

[MasterMech]

I'd say it's worth a good $.08 a lb right now......

Really good boat anchor.

Really good boat anchor.

Those minature postage stamp sized pictures are really helpful too....

 

[firecracker_77]

If I got that cheap enough, I'd sand it and get it painted and use it as a heater in a shed / garage. Probably badly enough pitted that I wouldn't want it as a focal point in a home / office.

Forget stove polish, a rattle can paint job for 5$ would make that stove look 100x better. Even if you leave the rust on, you'll get people to show up.

Ugh, the pictures. Why so small?

Yeah, it's hard to tell but from the side shot it looks like it's been over-fired.

 

[firecracker_77]

Like I said...the seller is lazy. Probably the type of person that whines about why life doesn't go his way / doesn't have enough money, etc. Not willing to put any effort in....See these people all the time in my line of work. Want the $$$ that others have, but don't want to step up and put the time in.

Might have BEEN a good wood stove at some point. Right now, it looks like it's been through a few winters on Michigan roads.

 

[begreen]

This "was" a decent stove.

Geez... your eyes are better than mine. I couldn't make out much from the sub-avatar sized photos.

 

[jjs777_fzr]

Yall got it all wrong - your're way off - if this thing came up on American Pickers it'd be worth...<wait for commercial break> .....about $500 but they'll offer the seller $600.

kills me everytime

 

[Grisu]

Or let's bring it to the pawn stars and see what the "expert" says.

 

[Angus]

Great looking stove, congratulations to the salesman, he's not too pushy either

 

[Treacherous]

Really good boat anchor.

I was thinking that myself.

 

[Ashful]

Actually, too big for an anchor, and too light for a mooring. Hope that doesn't hurt it's value.

 

[BrotherBart]

Wire brush. Some paint. Some wood and a Super Cedar and we have heat.

Now about price...
