Ok so first and for most thank you all for the past year I've read,tried and shared a lot with all of your great guys and gals!

This morning after church a quick check of CL revealed a Performer for $25.00, I sent off a email and received one back and it said I was second in line that the first person was going to be there at 5 P.M. So I stewed all day and figured it was gone.. Well Lo and Behold just as I was pulling the brats of the grill for dinner, I got a call that if I still wanted it, *IT WAS MINE* :becky:

I told the guy as soon as I was done with dinner I would be on my way!

We got there I didn't even bother looking it over but with all it came with I wasn't even worried. He even threw in a WOK!! I don't know if is a Weber Wok but now I don't have to buy that Discada quite so soon.. After we loaded it up, I asked about the other buyer and he told me she was trying to talk him down to $20.00.. She walked away from a $325.00 grill over a FIVER....lol O well her loss my GAIN!!! :mrgreen:

You're screwed, that thing will never work, best to send it to me so you are not reminded of your rash decision.




Nice

From my experience midwesterners are very frugal especially those from WI.

She took the cake though.

I thought this was gonna be a story about you getting ripped off twice in a year.

Great score! The other buyer probably wouldn't have used it correctly anyways.

Is it wrong to be jealous of someone else's good fortune? :)

Congratulations. That's a great deal.

When I read your post I threw up a little in my mouth. :thumb: Great find! I was lucky to find a Performer on Craigslist period and I paid $120 for it I think.

I thought I did good with this ss performer I picked up today For $60. Yours is in better shape, you really stole that one.

You should be in jail! Unbelievable that anybody would sell that for that price. Feels like a divorce to me..... R2Egg2Q got me a 22" Weber lid for one of my drums when he was driving down the street and saw a woman going to the dump. She had a new Weber lid in the pile. Her soon to be ex-husband took the kettle and she couldn't wait to throw out the lid... :) Great score.

I saw that ad and sat at my computer desk and wept because it was too far away for me to get.

Lately all of the good CL deals have been up your way.

Farker,

That is a great score though!

Congrats!

Yeah he is replacing it with a BGE.. I should have told him to save my number for when he wants to sell that in a few years for $25.00 .....hehe

It sure does...a couple of weeks ago I paid $25 for a NIB Weber Wok but it sure didn't come with an attached Performer!!

That is an amazing score! On the other end of the spectrum, I was able to sell my 1 year old green performer with cover and a full bag of KB for $325 within one week of posting the ad on CL.

Even better than my CL 50 dollar performer! So, when are you opening up that charcoal petting zoo?
