In the ad title, you say, "$400."
Near the bottom of the text, you say, "If I do it, the price will go up.
$400.00."

That is excellent Curt. Only i'd apply the stove black, or as
someone else suggested, black hi temp spray paint. That makes the
visual much better.
Craig is largely right on. Add to that you either need a new camera
or better lighting, your pictures are all washed out, it shows

I had a woodstove some years ago, it was getting a bit of surface rust
so I took some steel wool and wire brush to it, that did pretty well.
Then I put some "stove black" on it, which was sorta like shoe polish or
paste wax kind of stuff. It looked nice for the summer. Then the first
time I
Stove black as well as hi temp spray paint will give off smoke and fumes
when first fired and first firing should be done in a well ventilated area.

Paint will burn off and smoke also..
Stove black has been used for decades to "shine up stoves". It just has to
have a seasoning fire to finish the process.. Likely you built a large fire
and burned it off instead of "setting it".

It sounds like it might be a fine idea to remove the stove to the
outdoors, clean it, paint it or black it, fire it up and, once it cools,
move it back inside.

A couple of guys can move a 200# stove. Tilt and slip a wheeled platform
under and roll away.
Now, that maybe assumes you do not have any stairs to contend with but
it might still be better than trying to clean and paint it indoors.

You're confining your market of buyers to those who want to clean up
what looks like a rusty pile of scrap metal. Sorry but that's what it
looks like to me.
Clean it up. Take some better pho
Excellent suggestions from all and great ad copy from Curt. Thank you.

Saw a unique stove in a backcountry Georgia auto repair shop. It was a
steel drum fitted with a stove pipe, door, and bricks or stones in the
bottom. A tube stuck into the middle of the drum dripped diesel, kerosene,

Like the others said, the pictures are not good. You've got to want to
make people take the time out of their day to go look at and buy what
you're selling. Perhaps change the wording to say "pre-EPA stove".
Sometimes people like the know the year of manufacture. That is probably
