Stoves are hard to sell unless you have an extra fancy (lots of nickel and mica), in great shape, stove because of their weight and shipping costs. To properly ship, they should be taken apart and crated. Cast iron cracks and breaks easily. I've got a parlor stove in my garage and I'm finding out just how difficult it is to disassemble an antique stove thats been together for 100 years. They are cool both the parlor, caboose and kitchen stoves. However, one needs to live close enough to drive and pick it up.
