Great spot brother!  Well, I can't give you an estimate on what to offer but I'd try and do another drive-by when the roads clear up a little.  If they have it covered or not might give you a good gauge on how much they value that thing.  The ranger by my house is currently uncovered under a couple of inches of snow.  The guy just won't answer the door.

If it's a weber, I can't pass on it. That's my sickness! I hope I am never cured.

Don't mention anything about it being valuable or collectible. The guy will immediately begin to realize he has something of value and will demand big $$$. I would play up the angle of how this particular model has some personal sentimental value for you and try to get it that way. Also, as others have said, bring extra cash just in case. When all else fails, it might be the thing to persuade them, especially right before Christmas. Good luck Bob.
This is the original Weber kettle. The most powerful bbq grill in the world and can blow your taste-buds clean off! So, you have to ask yourself one question: "Do you feel hungry? Well, do you punk?"

You need to make up something like,  "my grandfather used to have one and he died and the family gave it away and I really was hoping to get another one back"  I've never seen any other one like it I don't know what it's worth,  blah blah blah

Good luck as I hope you get it.  It will get the TLC it deserves.

Was hoping to go ring the doorbell today, but my little man is sick... wound up staying home with him all day, while my wife and daughter finished up Christmas shopping. I went out tonight, and did a drive-by... there she stood, unprotected in the cold and rain  ???.  Porch light was on, but again, no car in the  driveway. Didn't think it would be terribly wise to ring the bell @ 9pm on a cold, rainy, dark night, so I held off. Tomorrow is Christmas @ the in-laws.  We'll see what next weekend brings.

I like what Zavod has suggested as an approach. I might even enlist the aid of your wife in making the inquiry them... something along the lines of surprising her hubby for his birthday might work too.
