The Weber Turquoise on Ebay Last Year

[harris92]

I just realized the person who won this grill on Ebay is the same individual who tried to trump me on the 70's "Chief" last month.  I can tell by his truncated bidder id.  He came in with a high bid at the end of the Chiefs listing just like this one.  I was ready for him and beat him to the punch. I  look forward to another round!

 Good to see you got one back, but you've gotta let it go
What bidding technique did you use this time??
You might not want to answer that , he could be watching

I didn't bid on the Turquoise last year (before my Weber days).  I guess if he is here it is only as a visitor.

Hogsy you can use sniping software or (I think) sniping sites for eBay auctions.

My old method works for stuff *most* people wouldn't be bidding on: log into eBay --- make CERTAIN you're fully logged in, not just seeing your username on the page --- and let the auction tick down to about 15 seconds and then bid. You should have just enough time to click "confirm" to do the bid. With a decently-running computer and Internet connection this does essentially the same thing as sniping.

So then what DID you win?

The '75/'76 26" Chief.

We need that guy to join us here. I'm sure he lurks.

I thought Reilly bid on it?

[reillyranch]

No, I am happy with mine, paid $25 for it.  This was a hardware store employee who gave me a heads-up.  A customer came in looking to get new parts for her light blue Weber.  A few calls later, she had an "up-grade" and I got the grill.   It does need a little help though.

Reilly, I forgot that you had that! I would love to see more if this aqua delight!

I had to look through the old thread to remember if I had bid on that or not.  (I didnt). That remains my hardest to find Holy Grail, and unfortunately I think the price I am willing to pay rises every month.  My oldest daughter would flip her lid if I got one of those.  That is exactly her favorite color.

Better her lid than your Webers'.  That light blue is a beauty. I wonder how it compares to the similar blue one in the UK.

I love that blue myself, it's one of my grails.

it's one of my grails.

Dangit, we can't be competing for grails!

How cool that MTH aqua would look and function with a 50s ash catcher triangle!
