Lime MBH score

[dwnthehatch]

I was searching CL and saw an ad titled "Vintage lime green Weber Kettle grill with cover - $75" just posted with great pictures of the grill. I immediately emailed the seller and jumped in the truck to start the 1hr 15 min drive without even hearing back from the seller. I knew it was in a good area so I figured I would wait for a response while hanging out down the street.

While waiting for a response the PM's starting flying on WKC from the Mid-Atlantic Crew. I was getting excited!

I waited, and waited , and waited...... No response from the seller. I decided to head back home and received an email from the seller as well as her phone number. It was getting late so I decided to just email her back. We agreed to meet at 8:30am.

I had a rough night sleeping. I had a feeling that the seller might get an offer she couldn't refuse. I woke up and checked my email. Nothing. I headed out at 7am and arrived at 8:22. It was sitting in the alley waiting for me.

The seller stated it belonged to her father and it has been sitting in her attic for over 20 years. The grill and cover are in great shape! I'll post better pics when I can.

Here's the Craigslist pics:

Great score! That is dedication, to take off with out a reply from seller.
Tow round trips, but worth it.

Sweet!

I love the smell of a evening cook...

Cool.....that was within walking distance from my work.  I didn't see the ad until this morning and was fighting myself about contacting the seller (I already need to thin the herd).  I finally sent an email and got a response that it had already sold this morning.  That made things easy, and I'm glad it went to a member.  I can't wait to see some more pics.

Nice score. Are those old school covers thicker like the premium covers today or more like the thin grey colored covers?
