What are your plans for these? Collecting? Very nice grab
Not collecting. I am not a collector. I cook, so I traded a couple other grills away for a black 26" and a q200 gas. I've always loved to grill, smoke and campfire cook, I just never did it on a weber before. Now I do.
I originally came to this website because I found the infamous "1969 The Custom" aka the meat grill and was looking for info on it (You can see it in the wkc grill gallery. I hunt, buy and sell many different types items. Weber grills just became another item. I usually list items on craigslist to see if there are any takers, but usually end up listing things on ebay. Almost Everybody here is very skilled in finding people selling them cheap on craigslist, so I don't post for-sale items here because too many people get mad.... Heck, I even get wkc moderators and members stalking my ebay and craigslist ads and harassing me over price.... Unfortunately, they are experienced find them cheap (Same as I do) and i am experienced at selling publicly...fyi, many other members resell grills here to, not just me...i digress
But my 4 biggest finds, and i mean largest monetary value, didn't even come from craigslist, they came from estate sales, rummage sales and flea markets. I might spend 100-300 a week on collectible items, but only 5-60 on a grill every 3rd week.
so these will probably be sold locally or craigslist or maybe ebay.
It wasn't a moderator, it was me - the owner.
"Harassment" is a stretch - Confrontation, sure. But it was more about questioning your intent, or at least, being concerned over your reputation.
Several members had already reached out to me about it.
One day there's a red mbh for $10. Two days later there's a red mbh for $200.
I think its pretty shitty, but that's just my personal opinion.
Plenty of members also flip, but they also pull favors for members, give back to the community and don't expect maximum and margins.
Their #1 priority is NOT profit.
You see, I do all this out of passion. This community is united by passion. It's a hobby. We love grills. We collect grills. We use grills.
Or at least, we enjoy the presence of other like minded individuals.
When people take advantage of that passion, it offends me. It offends me A LOT.
I put a lot of time and money into making this site. I've argued with my wife and have made, and continue to make countless financial sacrifices to maintain it.
I do it because it brings people together. Seeing all of the friendships created makes it all worth it.
