Title: Scored A Lime 22.5"
Post by: vader06 on June 16, 2017, 11:27:47 AM
Last night I saw an ad for a garage sale.  The ad just had the address and time of the sale along with a list of items for sale.  The first item on the list was just said "Weber grill".  No other description.  On the ad there was no option to reply.  I thought it could be a gasser which I am not interested in or the usual black kettle.  I just had a feeling about this one.  So I just decided to go check it out.  It was a 20 minute drive. 

I pull up to the garage sale and what to I see?  I could not believe my eyes.  I got real excited.   It was a beautiful lime green MBH sitting there.  I practically jumped out of my truck and sprinted straight for the grill.  Nothing else mattered even if Kate Upton was laying there naked in a lounge chair wanting some somethin somethin all I saw was the grill. 

I saw the price for $45 and actually asked if the lady selling it would take $40.  She said $43 and it is yours.  Take my money.   I hauled it carefully like a little baby into my truck.  The grill is spotless clean.  It has had it share of use but the previous owner took very good care of this grill.  He cleaned it up really good.  It has the peel.

Congratulations.  I bet you got excited. You get that adrenaline rush when you see something unexpected like that. Flight, fight or special Weber will do that. It looks quite happy with the family.

Love it, but Kate Upton would have caused me to pause a moment before I secured the grill ;)

Congrats!

No the mattress is for my dog when he rides in the back which is not too often anymore.

That's awesome!  It probably has aged a lot better than Kate Upton will. [emoji16]. A true score.

I would have been done with Kate Upton in about 30 seconds.


THEN I would have scored the grill.


Very nice opportunistic score. Sometimes it's good to go with your gut.

Yeah last night I kept looking at that ad and just had that feeling I had to go.

That 2 dollar negotiation would have accomplished two things for me:
Save two dollars
Finish the deal with Kate while owner makes my change.

I had a couple of MBH's a few months back and sold them.  Not Lime but a red a a faded black.  I regretted selling them.  This one I am keeping.......forever.  Did you ever sell that Red MT?  When I asked you about a few weeks back I  was on some heavy pain meds and not doing so well.   I apologize for my responses.  I was out of it.  I am having neck issues and hopefully getting surgery soon to relieve pain.
