pssst, call the cops, there's been a CL Weber MURDER!!

[MisterChrister]

Saw this '05 Performer (just the grill w/o accy's.) on CL Saturday for $50 and got ahold of the guy QUICK! He was nice enough to hold it for me until after work today. It was only 15 minutes out of the way after work but would have been a 3 hour round trip on Saturday and I wasn't about to leave wifey with all of the little ones for that long on a weekend/day off. When I got there, the guy's like "oh, I forgot to mention the rotisserie, charcoal, and veggie basket go with! He's moving to AZ and from the looks of his place (palace), was more interested in time than money :clap2: . I've gotten some steals on CL before, but this felt like straight up homicide! It's in GREAT shape, just needs a little cleaning so I can then get her dirty!:becky: Add it to the Weber herd, she's in great company!

[MisterChrister]

No but he said someone else emailed him asking what the least he would take was. He just smiled and shook his head! He said he got flooded with emails! I KNOW I lucked out big time!

[Bob13]

Wow! Congrats!

[Harbormaster]

Farker.
I wanted that.
Well, I didn't want it, I just didn't want you to get it.













:mrgreen:

[HankB]

If your guilt troubles you excessively, I'll do what I can to help.

Let's start with the rotisserie. :eyebrows:

[MisterChrister]

Farker.

Well, I didn't want it, I just didn't want you to get it.













:mrgreen:

Let me guess, you emailed him and he said it was spoken for and you had at least a sneaking suspicion that some evil Weber-hoarding nemesis in my part of the state MAY be involved?!?!?

[peaspurple]

Outstanding score!

[gtr]

What an awesome score! I want a performer platinum BAD!

[NickTheGreat]

Wow. What do you guys search for to find these deals? On my homebrew forum guys are always finding kegs and carboys on CL. Here, guys are always finding WSM's or grills. Whenever I search, I find nothing :wacko:

Searching often is the key. The deals/steals are usually sold and deleted in less than an hour.

1. oooooooooh do I hate you.........:tongue:
2. You must pay for your thievery. I think a brisket would be nice for the seller.

Searching often is the key. The deals/steals are usually sold and deleted in less than an hour.And they may be few and far between depending on the market.

I use an Android app Craigslist Notification that helps but it seems to be a little delayed. I suppose it may be fetching listings from an archive or cache of some sort since Craig does not like other programs to search Craigslist.

I'm near Chicago and the Weber market is pretty big, though some consider it off season at the moment. Right now there are no WSMs, Performers or 26ers listed at all. (I got lucky and found a 22" WSM in December for $150 :biggrin1: ) There are two Ranch kettles though one has been listed for a while at $950 and was just reduced to $900. The other is at $500 and if I really wanted one, I'd jump. There are usually lots of kettles and Smokey Joes and it's just a matter of waiting for one close and the desired style/age.

Congrats on the nice score!

I use the same app and I get notified of anything that may be bbq related. I'm not so patiently waiting for my big score.

It is the same here. Whenever I see anything on CL it is 3 hrs away and only $20 cheaper than brand new

[Bluesman]

You know, that is one heck of a deal you got there and you own a Redhead......:shock: Richland Center isn't far from were I live..........Sooooooo when do you work?...:heh:

[benniesdad]

I am surprised that no one in your area has offered to generously pay you $100 for it so you could double your money. LOL Great snag on some good kit.

[Bluebird]

You stole that one. :thumb:

[BBQdisciple]

Boy I never get this kind of luck :thumb:

[Tommyboy48]
