Used Alaska Kast Console III

Found a used Console III on craiglist. Stove was purchased new in 2005 seems to be in decent condition, looks like it could use a new coat of paint. Asking price is 1200, is this a fair price I've look around online and have seen a few between 500-1000 in similar condition. I am planning on using it with a power vent in my house upstairs. I currently have a Harman TLC 2000 in the basement. What are somethings to check out when looking a 10+ year old stove? What would need replacing, gaskets, ect? Thanks.

think you can get it cheaper look it over real good they were good stoves but the price to me not good !!! add the cost of new gaskets and your time and really look all things over !! good luck / and keep us informed !!

I agree price seems high, esp. if not already gone over. Things to check include condition of hopper, motors and glass.

Thanks, did a little more looking around. Found another one a few years old for 500. People are moving and want to get rid of it, gonna go take a look at it seems to be in good shape.
