Found a Jotul firelight 12 for sale at $550. It looks to be in good shape. In the pictures it looks like good enamel and the inside looks good no obvious cracks of warped metal. Is it worth $550?
 
The value is in the eyes of the beholder. Parts are very hard to get and it's a complicated stove. When running right, it can be a decent heater. Check the condition of the catalyst assembly too. This stove could quickly become a $1000+ stove if it needs internal attention.
