I thought this might be a good time to remind folks about Forum rules by posting a few quotes from
@Troy , the Admin of the WKC.
Pay close attention to the highlighted red quotes from Troy...........................
Can we still be hostile towards the price? [emoji56]
This group is about the best around. Anyone who thinks different, hasn’t been around.

Technically the rules state "- NO THREADCRAPPING. don't like the price, product, or person? Keep it to yourself."
At the end of the day the value of a kettle is ONLY determined by the willingness of a buyer.
Anyone can name any asking price they want and we should be cool with it.
However, we gotta be realistic and contextual at the same time.
What I REFUSE TO ALLOW, is comments that make any member or their opinions feel unwelcome.
This goes to both buyers and sellers.
Although this is not a rule, the context of this quote below was Troy speaking on a thread complaining about folks making "more than asking price" offers on FB Marketplace. I believe the quote would also apply to Ebay.
it sucks when it happens, but that's how shit works with supply and demand.
imaginary rules about class and integrity in an open-market of used collectables are just setting us up for disappointment and drama.
@GrilledMeat - There are no rules or code to buying vintage Weber, only wishful thinking by members. The bad vibes were not caused by you.
