See above - what was the latest grill you've purchased (Weber or otherwise) for your collection?
This one for me

Pretty sure it was only 4 last year.... two like new Q2200s with carts for cheap and these two that still live in our home office. I've really slowed down on the collecting and vowed last year to focus more on cooking which has been a lot of fun. Planning on ribs today on the Ranch.
$25 Amazon Mocha Smokey Joe around Christmas.
A 1993 One Touch in Blue last year for $40 in decent-ish shape. Cleaned up well, but it has a few porcelain pops and dings. Also gotta find a way to have the lid sit flush again as it's a bit out of round which annoys the heck out of me.
I think the last one I got was also the star-spangled when it was $99, last year in June. Tried picking up a second one on FBMP that someone listed for $50 but someone else got it first. Figured I'd toss it in the Chariot Seville every once in a while & actually cook on it as I think the guy indicated he got it as a gift and used it once or twice.
I think the last one before that was quite a while earlier when I stumbled across someone selling their dad's or grandad's unused red lid & tabbed bowl, like for a Seville or Sequoia (they thought it was a replacement that wound up not being swapped out) that someone listed in Cape Cod. I convinced him to take Venmo & just drop it off at some independent pack & ship place & spent a pretty penny to have them pack & ship it.

Technically not purchased.
This was listed as scrap.
It is going to be restored and given to my nephew for a house warming gift.

It's always interesting finding a good deal on something that has been sitting unused, especially when you already know exactly how you'll put it to use. The same "found something unexpectedly" feeling can happen when exploring online gaming platforms like https://mostbetbd.asia (https://mostbetbd.asia), although that's obviously a completely different type of purchase and experience. Either way, checking the details before committing can save some headaches later.

That red lid and tabbed bowl sounds like the kind of oddball Weber find that's worth the extra effort, especially if it was genuinely unused. I've had similar situations where shipping costs almost seemed ridiculous, but sometimes the rare part is worth more than the kettle itself. The $50 Star-Spangled pickup would have been tempting too, especially if it only had a couple of cooks on it.
