I bought a NIB Blue 1996 MT today for $50
« on: July 22, 2017, 04:12:55 PM »
I got it! The seller felt bad because the box looked like shit, and when I opened the sealed box, there was a small dime sized chip on the very edge of the lid lip opposite side of the thermometer. Also, the seller apologized because they thought it was black, but it was blue! Beautiful blue!! She asked if I still wanted it, and that she would drop the price to $50, since she received the grill in lieu of a $50 payment 21 years ago. So, I came home with a NIB Blue "ER" code (1996) Master-Touch this afternoon. I polished up the legs with some Mother's aluminum polish before I assembled it, and changed out all the fastener hardware with stainless steel nut, bolts, and washers. It's a great addition to the family!

I would have been thrilled it was blue, but I'm sure you acted disappointed. 😁

I was like "oh, I was expecting it to be black. Blue, Huh? Well, I guess we can still make a deal" and I was so excited I wanted to jump.

I will give you the $90 you would have paid.  $40 profit for you!  LOL
Congratulations and I am glad you did the stainless steel upgrade right away.
Enjoy!
