So, my wife hates our dining room/kitchen chairs. Can't say I'm a big fan myself. We have a smallish red table and I thought I'd work off some of that Thanksgiving dinner by browsing craigslist - Didn't want to overdo anything. Anyway, I enter "red kitchen chairs" in the search engine and the first thing that comes up is a moving sale in Santa Rosa - an hour and a half away - but an image caught my keen eye. Heres the ad:

What??? "Red Weber BBQ - $15" ???? Wow.
Still, it IS in Santa Rosa, and I am in Vacaville. Thats an hour and a half no matter how you slice it, and the boys are home from college for a few days. Dont wanna waste 3 or 4 hours on the road with possible holiday traffic hassles. Then: An epiphany! I called my friend and former neighbor that lives in SR. Deal was done in a couple of minutes. Look at this beauty! + the lady threw in an electric starter and a grill brush! Yeah!

Fifteen bucks? A Thanksgiving miracle!
Hahaha! Like I said, don't want to over do anything. Time for a turkey and dressing sandwich!
Insane score Stu! It looks to be in great shape, congrats!
Sweet find there....enjoy your Redhead. Nice shape for being 40 years old or so.
AWSOME!
congrats! what a nice find.
Great score!
Wow that's $15 well spent, great find!
Can't beat that! Nice score.
Thanks guys. Still need to buy some stupid chairs though.
That's a great deal! Looks like a '75 by my estimation.
Well, got some chairs. Had to drive over to Marin county. Lady was a bit of a wheeler-dealer. Ready to sell everything in her garage. Of course I had to ask if she had any Weber kettles. She told me she "has a small one, probably not what I'm looking for". Thats how I got my new (to me - date code DA) Jumbo Joe for $10.
