My Glen Blue 22" is going on eBay soon

[Ed M.]

Awesome, Bob! Hope you get top dollar for that Glen Blue Beauty! I will be watching.

 

[Bob Correll]

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.

 

[Rusty James]

Bob, if it tops $2000.00, are you going to treat us to some levee-high apple pie at the Blue Owl?

Yes, with ice cream!

Thanks Bob!
It just did, currently $1,124.

 

[Mike in Roseville]

Bob,

Good luck! Glad to see its doing well!

Cheers,

Mike

 

[Rich Dahl]

Congrates Bob, $1350 hope you're happy with that. I never knew that those older kettles where so valuable.

 

[Ed M.]

Congrats, Bob! Always exciting during the last 30 seconds!

 

[Garth C]

Bob,

You'll have to tell the story how you found that beauty. I'm guessing you're making a nice profit.

 

[Jim McKelvey]

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!!!!

 

[Bob Correll]

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.

Good for you Mr Correll, and it's going to a good home.

[Gene Brownson]

Nice Bob! In the famous words of Mr Harvey...."and now you know, the rest of the story". Well done! The selling of course

 

[JimK]

That's an awesome sale, Bob. Congrats. Now you can go get that WSCG.

 

[Rusty James]

Well, shoot - no Blue Owl pie for us since Bob's grill only sold for $1,350.00.

 

[Garth C]

How many of us seriously think that will ever be cooked on again by the new owner? Certainly it's a collector.

 

[Pat G]

That's an awesome sale, Bob. Congrats. Now you can go get that WSCG.

You took the words right out of my mouth Jim.

I'd wager that it will be used within 1 week of delivery.
