Performer predicament

firedude5015 · March 16, 2016, 04:11:43 AM

Ok so the gentleman texted me yesterday, said he would take $75 bottom price so...i went for it.
ER code 1996 in awesome shape.
Original owner, said the ONLY reason he was selling it was because the wife surprised him with a new grill ( no idea what kind). Only issue is a slight bit of fading on the lid. The ash sweep is perfect, he had the ash sweep handle and bucket handle turned to the back so I wanted to rotate it to the front. I removed the thumb screw by hand!. Gonna give a little spit and polish this weekend and throw some meat on it. Oh...he never used the original wire charcoal baskets..so he threw them away...dammit.

That's a grate looking classic black. I have a 99 ssp my daily cooker. Love it. ENJOY!

That thing looks brand new! Congrats! Well worth it for $75!

Those SSP look great no matter what color.

I like the black, it looks like an old hot-rod!

Great score! I wish I could find stuff like that.

@Darko , Patience.....I waited a year for my first performer, then this one came quickly. Passed my other performer on to a friend and kept the SSP.

Darko · March 31, 2016, 10:58:22 AM

Yeah I know. Easier said than done sometimes.

No, it's not .... Patience in acquiring Weber kettles and other related items is key.
People will be cleaning out their sheds and garages now, or very soon. Keep your eyes peeled .... and be patient.

And, hurry, because I will be after them, too ...

Don't just rely on keeping your eyes peeled, ie checking CL. Use apps and services to get automatic notifications whenever an ad with "weber|webber|grill|bbq" gets posted.

Also, depending on your area, you might widen out your search to areas nearby. I'm St up for 150 mile radius.
