Thinking of selling my WSM

[CUTigerQ]

But before I make that decision, I would like to ask a question. This smoker is 3 years old but has a brand new door, fire bowl, legs, and water pan. The only thing that isn't brand new (minus 2 cooks) is the middle section and the grates. If this were your smoker, what would you ask for it? These things are now 400 brand new. No clue what I would ask for or get for it. I need to sell it to get some money to help pay for my Southern Q.

Any thoughts?

I think $275+ is reasonable, but can't speak to what you would actually get.

 

[Happy Hapgood]

Yeah. I almost cut my hair onetime back when I was a hippie.

 

[cheez59]

They sell pretty often on ATL Craigslist for $300.

 

[CUTigerQ]

300 would work if I could get it.

 

[CUTigerQ]

Im gonna end u selling a lot of things...including my iPad mini and my bicycle that I love...but i love the smoker more.

I'd keep it and get a second job.:laugh:

Seriously, I'd try to find a way to keep it.

Are you gonna fire up the big Q every time you cook?? It would be nice to have options.

Agree. Unless you totally need the coin don't sell it. I rarely use mine, but the times I want something super light to transport and cook at a friends or wherever I'm glad I have mine. I though about selling it a few times, but each time I'm glad I didn't. Now I don't think I will ever sell it. I've let people borrow it, but never sold it. Just so light weight, versatile and can cook a lot of food. :becky::clap2:

Sigh...If I could get someone to buy or sell a damned house, I wouldnt NEED to sell it. This real estate gig isn't going so well for me right now. Anyone wanna buy or sell a house in Ga?:becky:

I just bought a like new one for 250.00.

 

[KevinJ]

Put it on CL for $300 and you'll probably get $275 for it. If I had an insulated cabinet I'd probably sell mine to, which is exactly what I was planning on doing. Now I'm kicking around the idea of getting a small offset instead and if I do that there is no way I'm getting rid of the WSM.

 

[robert-r]

I would not do that. It will save your bacon one day.
If real estate is so bad... & you are hurting for bucks....maybe just hunker down... wait for better times & then get the S.Q.
My .02 worth of advice.

 

[smoke ninja]

I would pay between $200-250. Used is used. Id list for $300 and see what the market bares.

Enjoy the new smoker.

 

[Steve Brule]

I would pay 200-225 for it. Not a chance I'd pay 300. For that much I would rather just spend 400 and get a brand new one.

Keep it! The footprint is small and you'll be glad you did!

 

[CUTigerQ]

UGH! You guys are talking me in to keeping it. I need the money though. Maybe Ill get a 2nd job like someone said. LOL :roll:

 

[Tatanka]

You've gotten good listing price advice, so no need for me to add to that.

I just can't believe that nobody has asked the most interesting question yet: How the hell is it that you've had to replace 2/3 of a WSM that is only 3 years old?:wink:

I was wondering the same thing lol

 

[CUTigerQ]

I didn't HAVE to. I replaced the bottom bowl that holds the fire because it was way out if round. Weber asked me if there was anything else I needed so I told them about the water pan that I couldn't clean (never wrapped it in foil when I first got it and it was way crusty with stuff...stopped using it for a long time til I got the new one that is wrapped EVERYTIME I cook now) and that the door leaked. They sent it all to me. Was all under warranty and didn't cost me anything. That fireball ws out of round the day I bought it and I didn't have sense enough to realize it. That was why I never could control my temps on it.
