Webr performer...what to look for?

[bagel51]

I think I may have a lead on a performer for 50.00 I think that is a good deal. But I really want to know what to look for. Areas of concern? I dont think it is a "touch and go" gas ignite ....But not sure. Hoping i can see it tomorrow after work. If all goes well.

I know Weber...typo....little excited

I guess I should start with is that a good price for a performer?

The key to getting things like this- email them with "Grill- i'll give you 55" in the subject line. I get a ton of underpriced items this way. It cuts me to the front of the line and keeps the item reserved until i can get there.

That said, for 50 dollars, it might not be in the best shape. It'd have to be pretty beat up for me to reject it for 50 (or 55) bucks.

Also- you will probably have to disassemble it to get it into a car.

It's probably a performer but it *might* be a one touch platinum.

 

[bagel51]

are there any bad spots I should look for?

 

[Trumpstylz]

It looks to be worth every penny hes asking. I snatch it before someone else does.

Look at the whole thing for any damage. Look for missing parts and look at the cooking grate to see what condition it is in.

You can't expect perfect at that price. From the pic alone it is a good price. If it has gas ignition or is super clean that is a bonus. But it!

 

[bagel51]

no not expecting perfection....just want something useable and workable. Sent the 55 offer like trump suggested..see what happens

Good luck. BTW, I have fat fingers too. That was supposed to say 'Buy it!':doh:

 

[bagel51]

LOL i figured

This is what you're getting. An hour or two of work, maybe a couple of parts and it'll be like new. Performers are nice.

By all means, get it! I missed out on a maroon Performer Touch n Go from the '90's on CL today. Lady wanted $50 for it, and it was in great condition (minus the ignitor)... some lucky jerk beat me by 15 minutes.

Oh and while your at it, get a new camera, wtfark!! LOL

 

[bagel51]
