I picked up one of these from Swisslink for $40. It was new. The construction on mine seemed pretty good, better than the Indian made Global stove that is the closest comparison in my collection. I like running it without the flame ring because it doesn't line up perfectly and the paint stinks when it burns Lit: Close up: It seems to be a good little stove. I've been cooking on it for about a week now. I got a 5.5 minute boil time for a quart of cold tap water.
