Are there any things that can be done to reduce or forestall the ravages of rust?
Ah, Dave, all it needs is "a good cleaning!" Wow. Maybe $45. I am just guessing, but I assume he means the plastic screw on holder that attaches to the propane tank is cracked.
I have sold brand new lids and bowls before. Of course not for that price. LolSkip cleaning up the whole kettle. Just grab the lid, throw away the rest of the grill and clean the lid up a bit and sell it as is:
Better yet, I think I will head to HD and Walmart and buy every kettle they have. Then toss the bottoms and legs and sell the lids.

Seller did receive brats and bbq sauce at n/c when purchased new.I have seen a lot of overpriced grills on CL and FB MP, but this is the first time I have seen a guy advertise his well used 20 year old grill for $25 less than what he paid for it new nineteen years ago.

Yeah, it seems crazy to me, too, and I don't think he will get that or even very close. But, maybe your $275 from a year ago should be $375 this year?!!!That dude is on crack.
Here is essentially the same grill, actually with an extra flip up table, rehabbed for $275. Which would you buy?

Jon, you ought to know that's what's called an inflationary spiral. People look for what is a good price to sell that ol' grill that's been sitting in the back forty since just about forever and they land on a site like this and see what people are getting for rehabbed grills, then set their price accordingly. You raise your prices, don't complain when your costs go up...it's the free market economy in action. One drives the other.Well, if that's where things are at, then we need to up our prices even more for well restored grills!
