Sometimes things work out

So last Monday I see an ad on CL locally only up for 18 hours. I replied and waited. A few hours later the reply was " waiting for someone to pick it up. I let them know that if they didn't take it, I would. So Wednesday I asked if the grill had been picked up and they replied "The grill has been sold". I figured another Fella was probably on it and reached out to a few people but nobody even knew of it. So on Saturday I get this email.

Big THANKS to @AZogas, who lives 10 minutes from there, for securing this beauty.
I wanted to move fast as he stated in his reply "would like this moved ASAP"
The seller was the granddaughter selling it for the original owner, her grandfather.
He said he bought it in 1965. Always kept it clean and indoors. These pictures is how she came as Alex was nice to provide pictures. Thanks brother for helping on this one.
SO,next in line can work out once in a while.
First picture I was sent

The rest came later

The original guy was me! The wife wouldn't authorize picking it up while on vacation in NY and transporting back to NC. Glad you were able to get it. Enjoy!
