So I saw this ad this AM https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/app/d/weber-genesis-1200-skyline/6558900808.html looks like he may be adding about $100 for a graphic.
I guess since it was "Dad's old Genesis" it makes sense. But I would never drop $350 into an old Genesis 1000. I would buy one for under $50 that was structurally sound and then clean it up and replace the internals as needed. Even if you replaced the igniter and bought RCPlanebuyer flavorizer bars and SS grates, you should still be well under $350.
Yes $350 is a lot. But it has sentimental value. And it just added up fast. I did the rcplanebuyer grates and flavorizors and if I remember right that was well over $200 right there. Then assorted other parts including burners and new durawood side and swing up tables.
If I'd gone with cheaper parts and gone with wood side tables i could have probably gotten a functional grill for $100.
It's an "old" genesis but it looks and performs like new. Even at $350 it's better than anything new i could have gotten at that price. So I consider it a good deal all the way around.
