Re: Fireside value question
It totally depends on how badly you want one, but I have seen them in the $200-400 range and less...

Also depends on the reproducer(s) present (if any). I sold a working Fireside A that needed some restoration for $275 with no reproducer to a forum member not too long ago.

I have one that a newer collector is interested in, looks great, works fine, model K reproducer, want to be fair on pricing to both of us

Re: Fireside value question
If you're offering a Fireside that's all original and a collector quality finish it's worth towards the $400 mark. If it's even nicely refinished with replacement parts it is closer to $300. My opinion...

Re: Fireside value question
Posting pictures would help us a lot.
Conditions such as cabinet condition, original paint and original pinstripping matter. Do you have the lid?
