So I'm always on the hunt for a cheap new toy to experiment with and I've been combing through CL for the last couple of years on the hunt for some new gadget or grill that I've not gotten to play with yet.
So I'm thinking that if you've used it a few times (you often see people getting frustrated after ruining their third amateur rack of ribs and wanting to dump something potentially good then) -- it drops 50% from retail. When you drive the car off the lot, it loses some value, but I know that loss depends on the demand for that car. I'm strictly speaking about backyard toys, not better smokers. CL prices are all over the map.
On another thread, someone thinks 65 to 70% of retail might be a good deal (without factoring in shipping).
So what do you think? Probably mass-marketed, minimally used, no mods, probably not well maintained, may need a good cleaning -- how much do you want off retail?
