Bluesman · 01-21-2013, 04:51 PM

Found this SS Performer..Redhead on CL. Comes with a rotisserie. Asking $250. Wadda ya think?

DownHomeQue · 01-21-2013, 04:55 PM

Nice!!

Offthehook · 01-21-2013, 05:00 PM

Looks like its in pretty good condition, I had trouble finding a comparative price and the going price for the Performers I found was in the 320$ range.

Bluesman · 01-21-2013, 05:06 PM

I can get a new brick red for $299. But this does come with the rotisserie and is a SS model. Which makes it cool. Just trying to gauge the field on the price.

Untraceable · 01-21-2013, 05:09 PM

highly desirable SS model. I dont know..... Id try to talk him down a bit still.

Untraceable · 01-21-2013, 05:10 PM

new now old OTP's are going for 199 online. I know they are different, I just think 250 is a little high especially for it being january

Bluesman · 01-21-2013, 05:11 PM

A new one with a rot goes for $464 with tax. So I'm thinking to offer $200.

I would say that's a good offer, maybe throw 220 or 240 if you need to. I try not to lose something you like for 20$. Most people arent looking to buy bbqs in the winter. I am waiting to sell my a/c units until summer.

I see stainless Performers around here regularly for $100 or less. I paid $100 for mine in pristine condition. The rotisserie is around $150 brand new. I would go much above $150 for both unless you really want it.

I was thinking Yeah - Yeah - Yeah - until I got to $250. Nice looking unit, desirable color (though black cooks just as well.) Look at the propane tank and connection and see if you can get that refilled. They originally came with a quick disconnect and you may have difficulty finding a dealer with equipment that can refill it. And it might be out of date and require new valve and/or certification. It looks like the PO has upgraded the 5 pound tank to a 20 pound tank. The 5 pound tank costs about $55. The 20 pound tank might last your natural life.

These are things to factor into your offering price. (The new ones come in red too, but it is a darker brick red.)

I'm looking at replacing the burner on mine and that's going to set me back at least $25. But I only paid $50 for mine. (Black and no rotisserie.)

Good luck with negotiations - she's a beaut!

Bob13 · 01-21-2013, 05:37 PM

She looks just like mine (minus the gas assist). With the rotisserie added on, I'd go $200, and that's really stretching it... I'd definintely try to talk him down a bit.

Redheads do cook better, you know.

Smith's Pig Pen · 01-21-2013, 05:56 PM

I think 250 is high. 175-200

A few things:

Reds are awesome
SS Performers are Nice
Reds are awesome
The baskets and roto is a nice touch.
Assuming it is in good shape.....

250 is too high. Too high.

I'd offer less, and then really really hope they took it. Reds are awesome.

That's been on CL for a looooong time.
Probably because he's asking too much.
But that's just me.

I know. It took me this long to talk my wife into even considering it.
