Deal

Deal!

Decent deal, but if I was going to get a performer I would want the gas assist.

 

[Jbkilg2]

Good. I already initiated contact, but we have not talked yet. I found it within 15 minutes of posting.

Is this relatively easy to add?

No, you'd have to drill a hole in the bowl.

Try to get them to decrease the price

I am a regular ebay and amazon guy, but this is my first Craigs List deal. What is a fair approach on asking price?

No, you'd have to drill a hole in the bowl.

I will need to check into this more. I don't want to risk damaging the bowl. I actually drilled my lid today for a temp gauge and I got some chipping around the hole. I have some high temp porcelain touch up ordered now.

Its a pretty good deal. Of course a lower price is better for anyone but the seller but hey, $200 for a never used performer = deal

What would you offer?

 

[PatAttack]

$150 cash.

 

[SeanBBQ]

I have the same performer (older model with plastic side table though) and think $200 is good but....doesnt hurt to ask. $175 would be a start. If they say no, hopefully they meet somewhere under $200. Either way, you cant go wrong.

It's a deal but never hurts to try for a lower price. I expect it is already gone.

 

[Jbkilg2]

Thanks for the feedback. I will be calling seller later this morning. I will post the results. I will need to travel an hour or so to get it, but there is a decent bbq joint nearby. Maybe I can get there before the burnt ends are sold out!

Done deal

Well I made my first Craigslist deal on this Weber Performer premium. You gotta love a road trip. I made the most of my pick up after an hour and 15 minute drive with a stop the Black Dog Smoke & Ale House for a little road food. Pale ale, pork ribs and black ends for lunch. I guess they slice as I was expecting chunks. But darn good none the less!

 

[SeanBBQ]

what was the final price verdict?

 

[Uncle Matt]

Offer $150 to open. FWIW i saw one in the Peoria area that had the propane lighter, couldn't tell condition but he's asking $150

Congrats. And food looks good.
