Are Logo Kettles Worth any more, less, or same as unbranded kettles?

I came across a Black Budweiser One Touch Silver 22" kettle for sale. It looks like its a few seasons old based on the handles but it appears that it was never used. I don't need another OTS but are these logo kettles worth anything as collectors items?

I asked WKC this on twitter back in April. Here was the reply: @WeberKettleClub: They are if you can find someone really looking for that brand. Is the grill blue or black? Most collectors avoid logos.

All personal preference...I have a few logo ones but mine are smokey joes. I don't mind the logos on those. I love the 2 jack daniels 18 OTS I own.
Not everyone deserves to know the real you. Let them criticize who they think you are.

+1. I can think of only a few logos/brands that might increase the value to a massive audience. A NIB Coke Red Kettle would definitely be worth more. Possibly Disney but that doesn't exist as far as I know.

Around here logo kettles seem to command more $$ and don't seem to last long on CL, so I would say so. There was a few times I saw a couple of Bud Light logo'd Ranch Kettles with asking prices of $900! Corona (Blue) Heineken (Green) Bud Light (Black) and Sam Adam's (Copper) seem to pop up from time to time.
I cook on: Backwoods Gater, Lang 36, Hunsaker Smokers, Pellet Pro 22" WSM, BGE's, WSM's, Cajun Bandits, PK Grills, Drum Smokers, Genesis Silver C, Weber Q's, Cookshack 008, Little Chief, La Caja China #2, Lodge Sportsman...oh yeah! Weber Kettles! Kamado restoration and pit modification hack!

Agreed with having your team on your gear. This is the sj mini I made:

Thanks for the replies. The black Budweiser kettle is nice I'm not a Budweiser drinker. If a blue bud light 22" popped up I might grab it but I only see those as 18's.

If any in LI/NY area is interested hers the link:http://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/for/4595999052.html

I'd pay a little more for a cherry red kettle with a white Budweiser logo. Throw a couple of birds on a bat on it, and I'll go overboard.
