Well holy f***ing sh*t!!! (Fyi folks, for some reason even @Troy can't figure out, I can't access the site via my laptop. It sends me to a "sorry, you're banned" page. I can still access via my phone, but it's not much fun that way. So, I'm not around as much as I'd like to be.) Btw, how do I access online finds via the app? I can't find it. :/

I can only hope this is far far away from me so that I don't have to regret not stopping at any thrift stores recently. That thing.looks almost new!

Thought I'd add here that I can now access the site. By pure accident I activated Chrome's "incognito window", which I didn't know existed. I tried my link to here and it worked! I still can't access via a "regular" ISP page. I had even tried a VPN and that didn't work. Hopefully this will way will continue to work and @Troy will figures things out. :)

Is that a for real offer?
He probably paid less than 50$ for it.
Did he pass on the offer?

No, I think he sold it. I asked him what it would take to bring her home to Chicago and he said $7000. Said if it falls through, he’d let me know. If I had the money, I would have bought it...

That's actually lower than I expected, but still a boat load of money! I wonder where it is going

Too bad for the seller. I would've given him 10.

I actually can't believe the offer was $7000...I thought it may have gone for higher than that.  I am glad for him, and glad that it will be preserved in one way or another!

Would I ever cook on a $7K grill!??  The grill looked pristine... museum piece or in the rotation? Glad I won't have to make the decision.
