what to do about hot water baseboard heat

[Kelly Church]

I'm looking at a house that has hot water baseboard heat and am trying to decide what to do with it. I hate the ugly base boards and have looked at replacing them but they seem to run$200-$300 per cover! I figure for that price I can almost put in a new forced air furnace system. Do you think the baseboard heat is a turn off to buyers? And if not anyone know where to find cheaper covers. This house is only going to be in the $100,000 range ARV so I'm looking to save money.
thanks
