Brunco Hearthglow stove value?

I currently got a Brunco Hearthglow stove siting in our basement that I'm looking to sell. I've contacted someone that does a lot of old stove refurbish and then resells them. What do you all think would be a fair asking price? Is $500 to much?

 

I think 500.00 is a bit on the high side, but that is just my thought, someone may come along at that price.

 

Thanks LP. It's a starting point but not expecting to get that.

 

No problem......My FIL used to say, you can always come down, you can't go up.

 

Its the right time of year to sell it...anytime now to end of Jan/Feb prices should remain solid...I'd say $500 is a good asking price...I would think it should sell for at least $300, maybe even $400 if everything is good on it...people want that much for junk usually.

 

I was going to say $350. This is stated from a guy in Maine though where EVERYONE heats with wood. That means used woodstoves abound lowering the price.

I hope you get more, and hope even more I did not offend you by my suggested price.

 

Not offended at all. I had know idea what to ask for the stove. Ill take any input.

 

When I bought my house last winter, I had the same exact stove installed as an insert. Due to numerous factors, I decided to purchase a new Buck stove and take advantage of modern efficiency.

I was able to trade in my old hearthglow in a nee Buck model 74 and they gave me a $500 credit off my new stove.

Now I should mention..... The dealer that I bought my new stove from was Brunks - they used to make the Brunco brand so they typically buy up the old units and refurbish and resell. Also, they probably had a hefty markup in the new Buck so in reality they just gave me a better price in the new stove and gave me a few hundred for the Brunco.

All this being said, these old Broncos are well knows as excellent stoves that out out a ton of heat!!!

 

Whatever you do - don't give it away. $350 would be a minimum sale price in my opinion especially if it is I good condition. Mine needed quite a bit to be fire worthy!!

Also - be sure to have lots of help when you move It! They are HEAVY!!!!

 

Thanks B2B. I think I've got it sold for $300. I have NO plans to be the one moving it.

 

Hello TBONE...let me know please if you don't sell the stove...I am interested in it and would pay more than $300....I have the insert version of that Brunco Hearthglow and was looking for a stove for my shop...would also like to see more photos of it...I've never seen a stand-alone version of that model...Thanks, Sean

 

Hello Sean...welcome to the family. Lots of great people here. The individual is suppose to pick the stove up today. If the deal falls through then I'll be in touch with you. Not the best of pics but here's a few more.

 

Thanks.....I felt $300 was a fair price also.

 

There's another free stander Brunco stove on CL right now...east of the Akron area...looks like new...little more money though...
Wood burner

 

Thanks for the welcome Brenndatomu....and thanks for the response Tbone...I'll have to get some pics of my stove but it's essentially the same stove but an insert instead...i have it installed in my shop now as a free stander but I want to move it back into our fireplace in the house and thought it would be awesome to have the same stove in the shop...the one posted in Y-Town is nice but no glass doors which is the best part of having a fire...watching the wood I cut / split / stacked burn!!...I guess I started looking a day late...o well...we've had that Brunco for 20+ years and I love it...burned wood and coal over the years...

 

Oh yeah, I missed the glass door part...do those stay clean TBONE ?

 

I honestly don't know as I've never used this stove. We moved here last June and it came with the house. I was looking to replace it and just install the new stove in its place but found the chimney needs a new liner. So I just decided to put the stove on the main floor and a new stack at the other end of the house. At some point I do plan on finishing the basement and adding a new liner for the chimney. I've recently picked up a used Woodstock Fireview for $200 to take the Brunco's spot. One of those down the road projects.

 

Here's the Fireview that I picked up. Backwoods Savage helped me a lot with my questions and his input.
