They can be had for 200-500 but with yours needing work it would really depend on what is needed. Grates are 90 bucks and if it needs a new firepot then that's another couple hundred. You can look up the prices of what things would cost to fix it here

You could contact Larry Trainer ( the manufacturer of the Chubby ) I sure he would offer you something for your stove ( he refurbish's them for resale ). What ever you do, don't throw it away, they are too easy to rebuild and will make somebody happy to have it.

I think I payed about $300 for mine, not sure any more but I know I wrote the price down in one of these threads Mine needed nothing at all, it had the new grate, firebox, shaker and even the gaskets where good. I got very lucky with my find and all I had to do was hook it up and run it.
It's not a blower type of Chubby is it?

- Hand Fed Coal Furnace: Chubby Jr, early model with removable grates
I had a stove with a cracked grate and Larry gave me $100 for it on trade-in so that is my estimate on its worth.
At least $50.

I paid $75 for mine. Put a little over $300 to bring it back to life.
Thanks guys.
It does not have a blower, Larry told us years ago that if it did, it would be worth a lot more money.
If anyone is in Southern Maine who could put this to use let me know, it is my fathers stove but I am sure he would welcome it gone. I need to confirm with him, but I imagine this is free to a good home, let me know if you have an interest, its fairly rough.
