Title: Hello from Wisconsin!
Post by: Lilyankee on January 22, 2020, 02:03:17 AM

Thanks for the add! I’ve been reading on this page for a while and like what I see and have learned. I have a small collection of Weber’s and BBQ pits and look forward to learning more about the trades, sell and buy opportunities within this club! Everyone seems very helpful!

As a side note, I have purchased what I believe is a key lime 1975 kettle and have some questions on what a reasonable value is. If there is a different area to discuss this, please point me in the right direction.  Thanks everyone!  8)

Welcome from Doraville,Ga Your lime appears to be in grate shape! Value is a tough call. If your keeping it the value is up to you, if your selling or trading well who knows. Glad your here and post some more pics of your Weber family

Welcome to the club!!!

Greetings from Greendale, WI.  This is the greatest place for true enthusiasts.  Looks like you got a couple nice kettles in that pic, especially that gorgeous Lime.  Values are all over the place nowadays.  Market peaked about two years ago, and now it seems to fluctuate daily.

Welcome from Highland Park, IL! We flatlanders don't get up to Wisconsin as much as we used to. It's beautiful country!

Welcome from Huntsville, AL!  Love that lime - I have a smokey joe that color but not nearly as vintage.  Enjoy the group here and share your cooks!

Those aren’t worth anything. I mean you cannot get rid of these things, but I’ll tell you what, I’ll throw a couple bucks your way and you can cover some of your losses.

Welcome from Chicago's NW side.  That kettle is a beauty.  Nice find.

All kidding aside -- from what I've seen (and my own personal preference), price is always dependent on condition, scarcity and completeness (i.e. does it have its original parts).  If you're able to share some more pictures with some close-ups, I'm sure folks will give you their honest opinions. Good luck!

Welcome from Plainfield Indiana!

Nice lime.  I wouldn’t be surprised if you get a few inquiries about it.  Kettle value is very subjective as others have suggested.  Limes are pretty rare amongst kettles as they only made them from about 74-78.
