Looking at buying a used Pro 575 (opinions on price)

Was originally posted for $450 but now it’s selling for $375. Owner has had it for 3 years. Was curious on anyone’s thoughts? I’m new to this!

That's about half what it cost new. This one looks like it needs to be cleaned. I would inspect the firebox and ask the owner to crank it up for you before buying.

$350 is probably a fair offer on it. Keep in mind that the 3-year warranty is over.

As others have said make sure it works and look for structural problems for example rust on the fat drainage channel. Is the fact it needs a good clean masking anything? Are any optional extras (looks like it has a front shelf?) and consumables included.... pellets?

The asking price has already been reduced considerably so there has obviously been no takers, use the fact it needs a very good clean inside to haggle it down starting at say $300 to $325? I still think it is a tad overpriced.

I sold a 15 month old Pro575 and got back around two thirds of the initial outlay, at 3 years old I would expect no more than 50% of initial cost but would expect it to be presented in better condition and sound structurally.
