I'm seeing a bunch of Fisher stoves in the PNW for $100-200.

    Some of them were inserts, did you see the one where the person has pipes going through the stove? I think he was heating water! I've seen that before. Yea, there out there, There not so cheap out here.

    It makes sense they are cheap in the states where you can't BUY, SELL or INSTALL them legally. (OR, WA, CA)
    What doesn't make sense is how many pick them up for next to nothing and sell them for BIG bucks in the same states !

    Proof that EPA laws are not enforced.

    Those states do not allow a home to be sold with a Non-Certified appliance as well.
    They are required to be decommissioned by welding shut or welding cover plate over exhaust vent to prevent use.

    Nationwide no.
    Only those states require Certified only. But there is legislation proposed to make it more.
    Most states and local governments now require UL Listed appliances as well as most insurance companies nationwide. They are grandfathered if already existing, unlike OR, WA and CA where there is no Grandfather Clause.
