$250 for a 22" kettle?!

[S.Six]

Found this on Craigslist. He says they're from the 60's, but come on! Really? $250? What do you think? http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/clt/4726449214.html

I'd say P T Barnum was probably right.

 

[Tony R]

That's expensive.

 

[Phil Perrin]

$250 maybe if it was in pristine condition. That one ain't!

 

[Rich Dahl]

I don't think so, to rough for that kind of money.

 

[JimK]

Must be a typo. He obviously meant $25.

 

[Steve Porter]

If you look at all the pictures you'll notice that it changes color, from red to blue, and then back to red. Now come on, be honest, how many of you have a kettle that changes color? That's why it costs so much, it changes color!

I told him I'd give him $20 for the red one, and he said " I think you forgot a zero!" I said "i thought you mistakenly added a zero!"

Did he reply to that?

I'd also to be interested in knowing what this guy smokes...... I'd like some.

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

He's going to have that kettle a long, long time!

I've driven to loveland from Golden for good CL deals before, but I don't think I'd make the trip to FoCo for this. There's a pretty good deal on what looks like a pristine black one in Louisville right now

I would not be shocked if the seller got the 250 for it...

Some years ago, I knew a guy selling what he called a very rare Miller Brewing Company beer stein.
It was very nice, but rare, I don't think so (I owned the very same stein).
His asking price for his was 175 bucks.
For a few years, he kept peddling this stein as rare... eventually, he sold it for 2 hundred and 85 bucks.

There may be someone out there that may run across his ad for this grill and scoop it up...

 

[S.Six]

He said he sold the blue one for $250.

I'm buying a black Silver from the 70's maybe early 80's for $40 and it was garage kept. I'd rather have a pristine 35 year old Kettle than a roughed up 50 year old Kettle

 

[Bob H.]

The blue one looks to be early 60's, the red one is 70's. His asking price... not from me.

You are absolutely correct. The all plastic wheels are a good indication that it's probably between a 74 and a 77 or 78.
