    vintage gas stove - pretty bad condition

    ~did a search and could not find a relevant thread~
    are vintage gas stoves really worth anything if the condition is not superb?
    when i look on craigslist i see lots of good looking ones going for $50-300 but they all say they dont work
    I have two but they are very poor looking condition as far as appearance goes.

    on the otherhand i live in an area inundated with hipsters who love old crap

    The parts are worth money at the very least. I can give you the details of someone in Southern California that buys them to restore via pm if you are interested.
