My Glen Blue 22" is going on eBay soon


 
Thanks again everyone!
Up to $710 this morning.

It appears someone is trying to cash in with a very deceptive listing for an original ash pan and 3 thumb screws for a "Glen Blue" kettle.
They ran it twice, and got buy it now sales, apparently the buyers jumped the gun without reading what they were actually buying.
The seller even used my title almost word for word, only leaving off the word baby.

Relisted now with a better title, but still showing a pristine Glen Blue.

This kind of stuff is what turns folks off about eBay.
My description clearly states that the ash pan and two legs screws are not original.
You know you've covered your description pretty well when there are no questions asked of the seller about the item. :)

That's the kind of thing that made quite selling on EBay. Also the idiots with no feed back that think EBay is a video game and have no intention of buying they just want to win the bid. On My favorites list was Block EBay Bidder which I used often.

Hey Bob, Good luck with the auction. I think it will go north of $1000. I'll be tuning into the last five minutes. That's when it gets fun.
 
Congrates Bob, $1350 hope you're happy with that. I never knew that those older kettles where so valuable.
 
Bob,

You'll have to tell the story how you found that beauty. I'm guessing you're making a nice profit.
 
Congrats on the sale Bob! That is my favorite Weber kettle of all....but completely out of my price range. Even with the cosmetic wear, she was a beauty!!!!
 
Thanks everyone!
It took me about an hour to carefully box her up, she shipped yesterday via FedEx ground.
I charged $50 for shipping, but with insurance it cost me $135, I'm not complaining.
Thanks to Troy over at the Weber Kettle Club for detailed instructions on packing a kettle.

 
Nice Bob! In the famous words of Mr Harvey...."and now you know, the rest of the story". Well done! The selling of course :)
 
How many of us seriously think that will ever be cooked on again by the new owner? Certainly it's a collector.
