For...... something Fuhrer Adolf would be proud of.
Clues are in this clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ShEA8wc2qs Care to take a guess. Funny/witty comments encouraged
Omg. That's the funniest video ever...but you gotta be a weber
Nerd... Like me
This clip always cracks me up and yes I am a Weber Nerd like most of you. :) This clip has much more meaning to me this week. :)
I am still in awe over what just conspired. Not celebrating just yet. :) :) ;) Want to see if someone will figure out what I am talking about. :) :) ;) ;D
That is THE most AWESOME video ever!!!....Something I'm sure a lot of have had to deal with!! LOL
The obvious would be that you nabbed a yellow, but it can't be that obvious.
Who ever did the video deserves an Oscar
When hitler finds out he was outbid and takes off
His glasses is priceless
I'm guessing you got the green SJ on eBay?

Partially correct. I don't believe in ebay or any other online biding and driving price up. Never have done it till now. I don't know why but I tried it for first time ever......

The denverish yellow.
@greenweb - Did you buy that lime 18" that was on CL in California?

@Cellar2ful - that is nice but not really. Another 18 lime in Chicago for $ 150.

Correct!
I WON!!! Unthinkable for me to bid online and actually win. I got this for $45. :o :o :o How is this possible. I could not contain my excitement, but had to wait till my Denver buddy pick it up for me before posting.

Little back story on my first ever bidding:
Ihr before closing on the bid, I see that it is at $20 with only 3 to 4 bidders. :o I sign up with my friend in Denver address as shipping location ( I just had my Cado shipped from him, so I had his info ) and my credit card info. I figure why not. I did not think I would win, but with this little bidding activity, I had some hope I thought. I just felt that I would regret not trying. Less than 20min left, it is at only $26. I go in at $31, only one bidder follows with $40. Time is almost up. We go up in $5 increment till he matches me at $60. Time is up but we are given like 10 min extra to bid higher. I go in at $65 and to my surprise... in that long 10 min. no one out bids me. :o I am the winner. :o :o :o :o :o
So, $65 - $20 for sign up coupon code. I got this for $45 :o ??? 8) on online bidding auction. How is that possible for nice 22 yellow. The Seller was selling his nice house and really nice vintage items thru. this Auction co. Would be nice to know the history of this grill.
I am given 5hrs window to go pick it up today at the Sellers home. I am not even sure if pick up is possible. Damn! Otherwise, it gets brought back to the Auction co., packaged and shipped to my buddy locally for extra $150. :o Lucky for me, I convince my buddy to pick it up for me today. It was only 20 min drive for him. Pickup confirmed. What a relief. I don't want him shipping this to me, so plan is to go visit him and make a trip out of it. 5000km round trip.
I want to thank pbe gummi bear for posting that link. http://weberkettleclub.com/forums/trading-post/yellow-mbh-$1-starting-bid-denver-ish-ends-89/
Wow. Nice score and even better a great friend.
Right On, I looked at that after gummi posted and when I checked shipping they wanted like $425...LOL GOOD FOR YOU! VERY NICE!
Very nice grab, man! These are the kind of prices I like!

Nice find on the yellow. And thanks for posting that video. That was some funny but true shit.😂
addicted to charcoal......
Nice
I'm really glad you got it
@greenweb !!
I was the bidder on the other end. I too had someone lined up to pick it up. My cousin lives 25 mins from there. I looked into shipping it home from her house and it was going to be $60. I decided that I was not going to spend more than $100 on it. With the $20 discount, that meant I could bid to $60.
I had a town council meeting that night and I almost didn't get out in time to bid. At the last minute I got signed in and started bidding. When you bid it up to $65 I wasn't sure what to do. I almost bid again when there was 20 seconds left, but for some reason I decided that I wasn't going to break my self imposed $100 rule.
I am really happy you got it. I spent that whole night worrying that I would soon find it listed on eBay for $500 by some sleezy flipper. Glad it went to a good home, can't wait to see it all cleaned up.
@greenweb, I woke up this morning and it dawned on me what you might have been talking about, and then I saw
@Dan NY had commented, what I had realized is you sniped this out from under him.. but glad to see all is good with both of you, neither of you knew who was bidding... lol Either way it goes to a loving and grilling home!! CONGRATS!

Wow! So, I have you to thank for. Thank you! Much appreciate your comment. One thing for sure, I am keeping this as long as I can to enjoy.
I did not know it was you at the time, but very surprised other 4 bidders dropped out way early and that it did not go over $100.
Like to also thank others for your positive comments.

Likewise, if he out bid me and got it, I would have been more than happy for him. No way to know who other bidder is. As mentioned, it could be some flipper with only interest in $$$ and ultimately driving prices up for rest of us.
Congrats,
@greenweb ! I'm happy you got it.

To most of us, this hobby is about scoring kettles at reasonable price, having fun enjoying cooking on it and appreciating its history.
Tell you what
@Dan NY - if I ever have to let this one go, I will offer it to you for $60. You got my word.

@greenweb that is really awesome. I wish I had known you had someone lined up to pick it up. I wouldn't have even started bidding on it. Be sure to post lots of photos when you get it home and as you clean it up. Again I'm really happy it went to a good home.
holy moly! a nice yeller for $65...great score/story. Enjoy.
