Hey Jim if you want it definitely grab it.Should I swoop in.....?.....?
I'll let Jim grab it if he wants it. Otherwise I'll throw down an offerIf it were closer, I'd grab it and sell my E6.
For the right money I would be on one of those too, beautiful grills.I'll let Jim grab it if he wants it. Otherwise I'll throw down an offer
The S6's have been going for 2x - 3x the ask in SoCal, but there was an E6 that went for $300 last year.I put an offer on it so we'll see if the seller is interested.
That's pretty interesting. I think it is like any collector fad. Some people went in REALLY DEEP doing whatever it took to find just one more rare color or very early kettle. When you get to where you have dozens of them, what can you possibly do with them all? (Spoken by a man who has more kettles than he can cook on himself!)Anyone in the Wide World of Weber group on Facebook? There’s a huge trend today of people downsizing their collections of kettles. Mostly the old ones, 60’s and 70’s. Just thought it was odd.
Way more money than I’d give up for a kettle, but kind of wild how old these things are, and still in mostly decent shape.
I hadn't even thought of that, Bruce, but I would bet that is very true - along with exotic new cars. The repercussions of the LA fires for insurance companies are going to be devastating. Don't be surprised to hear about insurance company bailout requests...Well, I suppose at this point, most of those old classics are simply collector cars now and won't be driven again or very little, so all the modern amenities are much less important. Also, the supply of these old cars is basically froze or in decline. Sure, a barn find here and there will get restored, but at the same time a few are destroyed every year as well. I imagine a large percentage of them burned up in the LA fires.
