Hey, I've been so far around the block on looking for a stove, it's pathetic. More research I think than I did on buying a house. The bottom line is that I can't afford a new stove, and can't afford to do the installation myself, if you know what I mean. I'm looking at a Waterford Trinity, 6 years old, lightly used. It's really in great shape, seals good, no warps, bends or dings. All parts good. Offered to me at $350. I may offer $250. I know they are not made in the US anymore, and parts may be hard to come by. I did a search and found some online still, but who knows in a couple of years when I need them. It's a beautiful stove that works well now. Saw it cold and burning. I'm thinking that even if I get just a couple of years use out of it, it's a deal, and if I search for another to cannibalize, it would work. Am i crazy?

(P.S. I also just paid $850 for a new blower on my Carrier furnace, damn it all).

Nice looking, big stove. Although not sold in the US anymore, you can get some parts through some of the online stove shops like Woodmans. If it's in excellent operating condition, I'd go for it.
