Unusual Vintage Weber eBay Auction

[Chris Allingham]

I think vintage Weber grills have "jumped the shark" when people are auctioning slides of old Weber grills.

Blame those sellers who sell older Weber grills for a thousand or more dollars.

Hey, what can you say when it has 54 bids pushing it up that high? I guess there are at least a couple people with enough $ who think it is worth it!

There is a Weber grill in that slide?

All I see is... THAT VINTAGE SALT SHAKER! OMG!

I was kidding because I sold a 1960's blue one this past summer on eBay for $1,350.
It had 19 bids.
