Depends on how much you like the Simpsons.  It looks like it's in good shape.  I would not pay more than $100.

People pay a lot for them, value is in the eye of the purchaser, I am not a fan and would not pay a lot for one.

Not sure.  Saw it on CL today and just paid for it. I drank the kool aid recently and bought because I thought it might be something special .  I just restored a 1995 Green SS Performer

Don't feel bad if you like it.  I'm not a fan of colored 18.5 kettles and gave one away for free, while others would die to have one. 

I've overpaid for my fair share of kettles, but also got away with murder with other ones.  It all evens out.

If you think it's special ... Well, then it's special.   :D

And, I like drinking the Kool-aid ... when it tastes like beer.  ;) ;)
J/K , I know what you meant.  ;D

I'd love to have one, and that one appears to be in very good condition. I'd go $75... that's probably my ceiling. What is the seller's asking price?

Congrats on the new kettle. I was emailing back and forth with the seller about shipping it. Glad someone here got it anyways.

$100 and I bought it.  No haggling.  For whatever reason I didn't want it to get away

There is a CL post in Lake Stevens, WA asking $200.00 and it is fairly beat up.  I would say you got a great deal.

 That one was in better shape than the one I currently have listed for $75- I think $100 is a fair price. Enjoy your addiction.  ;)

I've been watching for a 22" in my area for sometime.  I'm looking for one in particularly good condition since I want to give it to my Son-In-Law.  He and my DIL live in Springfield (the real home of the Simpsons)  ...  $100 was a really good price from what I've seen of the kettle.  Enjoy your find.
