Converting 2 More Wood Burners to Coal

my dad and grandpa are both lifetime wood burners. after seeing my Mark II in action this year they are both looking into burning coal. My grandpa ordered a Baker Mini furnace today. My dad is interested in the baker Heat King. This brings up my question. My dad bought a new Quadrafire 4300 woodstove 2 - 3 years ago. It has a pedestal with ash pan and a blower. Paid about $3000 for it. What would this be worth now if he were to sell it to get a coal stove. It is in very good condition good paint, no cracked bricks, no problems at all.

Well it depends on what features the stove has. A base Quadra-Fire Millenium (4300) costs around $2k new.
