Just got lucky. Just before heading to run errands, Quick CL search. Two minutes from my home.
First question asked by seller, "Are these rare?" Makes me wonder...More on this later.

Damn nice! Max, we are stuck outside the gates of kettle heaven. These things don't happen in our area.

Thanks Guys! It is a very nice grill. It will not need to much elbow grease to get clean. It was gifted to him from his aunt and uncle, has  tried for years to give it away, they always answered back, "Why, we have a propane grill." He said his neighbor will be happy to it gone, It has been by the side of the garage since he received it...Still puzzled by his question of rare. Once the money was in hand, I shared some of my story and the approximate age of the grill, as he was curious.
He was happy, as I am as well. But now what to do... ???

I'm glad you got it before the stakes were raised
I'm only 2 or 3 kettles away from being that creepy guy down the street with all the Webers

Me too! I'm pretty sure stakes were already in motion. He was fielding calls as I was there. First thing out of his mouth was, "Is this rare?" Caught me off guard...I wish I knew how long it was posted, as literally, I was there in less than ten minutes after hanging up.

You did well, a Grillfella must be ready at all times , to drop everything important in their life , and go get that grill!! It doesn't  matter what the circumstance , if a grill pops up on your local classifieds , EVERY  second counts if your going to rescue that grill for a good price  8)
