Weber Genesis 2000


 
Depends on how much rust is on it and what needs to be replaced. The crossbar to the left of the cookbox is the most prone area of concern. Next would likely be the internals like burner tubes, flavor bars, and grate.
Planning on keeping it?
 
It is hard for me to give you an estimate for two reasons. First, I rehab them and never pay more than $50 for a rehab candidate. Second, you would really need to post some detailed photos of the outside inside and different angles of the grill for a good idea what it might be worth. Third, a lot depends on the market in your area. Your grill might fetch $100 here, but $300 where you are at.

My advice is to get on Craiglist and Facebook Marketplace and see what is out there and what people are asking for similar Weber grills.
 
Problem is, there are none! Only old ones that need to be fixed up. No one fixes one up and then sells it and no one gives up well maintained used ones because they are so great.

I am not keeping it as it is gas and I am looking for propane. I would really like to trade it for a propane weber or sell it and buy one. There is little to NO rust, everything is intact-burner tubes, grate and it was being used up until a year ago when my dad gave it to me. I don't know what you mean by the crossbar next to the cookbox (sorry). I could send pictures if that helps?
 
Others here live in a market that can flip restored grills for several hundred dollars. In my area, they don't appreciate older grills as some of us do. So most are either junked or sold for less than 50 dollars. You can have a mint Genny 2000 but if no one in your area is willing to buy it, it's worth nothing.

That's good to hear that the internals are in good shape. If you are looking for propane, there are many discussions on how to convert that grill to propane with ease.

Here is a video detailing how to change out that bar as it's commonly rusted inside.

Thank you-very helpful! The bar on mine isn't rusted so that's good. I have no idea what the market is like here-I thought I would try this forum as it seemed to focus on Weber exclusively. I know the grills are certainly valued here-the question is how much?! I have one person interested and I told h him to make me an offer so we'll see.
 
There is a difference between what you consider it to be valued and what others are willing to pay. As mentioned, go on these marketplace sites and see what someone comparable is listed or sold. That should give you a sense of what it's worth. But if you're expecting this to fetch a pretty penny because it's vintage, you might have to find the right buyer for that.
 
I’m a little confused, you say it’s gas? That makes me think it’s “mainline” natural gas? And you want propane, the switch is cheap and pretty easy. I would do the conversion, you have a good grill why not do the less expensive project?
 
Yah, if it as good of a grill as you say, then why get rid of it if the only reason for selling it is that you want a propane grill. The conversion can be done for $50 or less by simply swapping the manifolds.

Otherwis, I suggest you price it higher than you think it is worth and see what happens. You can always take a lower offer or drop the price later.
 
Yup, just get an LP manifold and swap it out...easy peasy. You have a great grill and with regular care it may be the last grill you'll ever need.
