Aim High!

[Jon Tofte]

I know Bruce and Brian are big fans of the classic Genesis grills with blue hoods. Bruce has one and I think has sold a couple besides. Here's a guy aiming for the stars with his "vintage rare Webber":

Yah, I guess he is charging extra for the stains and dirt. If the garden Gnome behind the grill is included, it should be a quick sell.

At least for $400 he could clean the pig up a little. Can't imagine what the inside looks like.

Maybe its the location that drives the price up This is in the same town seems to be rather high for a junior.

These guys are killing me

That's about an hour and change south of me. No way either gets their asking price. They both put an extra zero on.

Merry Christmas!

The seller only has 5 ratings and the photos seem to have been taken in May 2017. About 2.5 years ago. I wonder how it looks now. If it even exists... lol

By the way here is another one. Only $500. Seller claims it has been refurbished. He only put some new parts in. Dirty fire box, dirty lid and shelves don't look any better.

Stefan: That thing is priced about 7 or 8 times what it should be.

 

[Jon Tofte]

Yeah, but expedited shipping is only an extra $150!

just commenting...Asking prices on Facebook Marketplace/OfferUp etc. seem to (mostly) adjust to market forces (e.g. prices drops when no demand), but on ebay, the ask prices just seem to stay ridiculously high, almost cartoonish. That $500 Weber Jr. with the crappy pictures is a great example, as is this blue head... Now I know why Larry calls it FLEAbay lol.

I don't know if that's aiming high or if it's really something collectable.

No, I am afraid that is very realistic and will probably be snapped up soon. Kettle collectors are voracious and some seem to have deep pockets to go with it. A yellow is particularly treasured.

 

[Brian B Atlanta]

Totally agree with Jon that will not last long.

It's lasted a couple weeks already. That's why I wasn't sure about how desirable it is. Or if it was priced too high. I wish I knew more about the kettles. Then I could grab the deals if I came across them.
