Title: 1896 P. D. Beckwith Round Oak No. 16
Post by: NEPicker on January 07, 2012, 12:39:33 PM

I've come across a P. D. Beckwith Round Oak No. 16 dated 1896 and was wondering how I should go about selling it.  It's in good condition with surface rust.  I've stopped at a few local shops and nobody seems to be interested.  Any tips?

Here is a link to see pictures. http://nh.craigslist.org/atq/2788062507.html

Thanks,

Adam

Its odd but things like wood stoves sell better here in the south than in the northern states where they are plentiful and cheap !! Your stove is a nice parlor type but just google it and you will see a bunch of them !!  The economy has made sales of some things crash and burn !! Try looking online for speciality  sites that deal with wood burners !!  You may  have better luck !!

Don't take this wrong; but I've found that by putting a lower price on something makes it easier to find a buyer. The insurance companies have made it more difficult for anyone wanting to buy a stove to actually use. So, you will probably have to find someone just wanting a stove to decorate with. Good luck!
