New 2004 22 OTS

[Schaefd2]

Does anybody know what 22 inch OTS kettles cost brand new in stores back in 2004?

They have cost 99 since early 90's as far as I remember. Pretty remarkable really.

Maybe back into 80's??  Not sure. I just remember not being able to afford one when I was first starting out on my own and dying to have one. No internet to search used either. That's why I like having them so much now.

I could have literally afforded it but would have had to foregone other more important stuff in the monthly budget like food and gasoline at the time. That's why I appreciate the hell out of them now lol

Wow! I can't believe the price hasnt been hiked in that long! Just goes to show how much cheaper the nylon handles, aluminized sweeps, and the taco handles are

But I was only wondering because I was haggling the price of a DH code on FBM that I was going to buy for a friend as a housewarming gift. The seller resisted my first offer because "they're so expensive when new." To which I responded by informing him that a DH code is from 2004 and way out of warranty lol
Anyway, I scored the grill for $35 and it has an extra grate too. It looks brand new. I'll pick it up tomorrow.

In 2000 they were $79 by 2005 they were $89 then $99 by 2010. I used to manage for The Home Depot.

So in 2004 they were $89
