Not sure if this counts as a score...

...but I'll take it.  I was all set on getting a Crimson Performer Platinum until a NIB Black Performer Platinum showed up on CL for $265.  After emailing a few times, we still hadn't worked out a time to meet for a deal.  In the meantime, I stopped in Ace Hardware to see if I could lay eyes on a Crimson...no such luck. 

But I did find this.  It was marked down to $299...not a huge savings, but works for me.  Assembly will begin shortly!

Cool grill and at a discount. Get 'er up and running.

Nice find!

I have the same one Todd, you will love it.

Well, assembly was straightforward enough.  Took a little while since my 4 year old insisted on "helping" me out.  I ran into one small problem though.  Instead of getting the screw for the lid handle, I got an extra axle nut.  Anyone know what size screw I need?  I figure I'll email customer service, but wouldn't mind just picking one up locally if someone knows the size.  Thanks!

I love the brick red, if you need to upgrade to a wood handle let me know, I toss in a stainless screw for nothing.....

Very nice! I'd call that a score.

I may upgrade in the future.  In the meantime, do you know what size screw I need for the plastic handle?

It's some weird screw, it's like a wood screw but it's got a flat bottom with no point.  Maybe something Weber has made.  I'm sure I have some lying around, I always take off the horrible plastic handles.

False alarm.  My son just asked me if I needed the screw he had.  Grrr.  All is well now.

Haha, that's funny.

And yes, this is a nice score!  Performers are awesome.
