Vintage Roper stove in excellent condition - how to sell?

http://cdn.brownstoner.com/4e55509ad67d7-.jpg

We have a beautiful 1940’s white Roper stove (6 burners, 2 ovens, 2 broilers) that we’d like to sell as it doesn’t fit with our new kitchen design. As much as it pains us to part with this oven (which is in excellent working condition), the thought of just junking it or putting it on the street seems even more heinous a crime. I’ve searched to see if I can find someone/somewhere to sell it and I’m coming up empty. Does anyone have any suggestions of where I could look or who might be interested in this sort of thing? Any advice appreciated!

Very sorry, it’s much too big for our space. My apologies for taking so long to post here.

Usually people list these on Craigslist. Local stove repair can transport them. I’ll measure our space tomorrow, sorry, forgot to check back.

Cute cute cute! What are the dimensions? I might be interested if it fits in our stove space. What neighborhood are you in?
