Title: N code redhead pickup
Post by: Travis on October 27, 2016, 10:38:17 AM
Saw this pop up on my way home from work this morning. 30 minute drive and a couple hour clean up, she's happy.
Poor thing has had a hard life for sure. Lots of crazing, all bowl brackets had ext. porcelain chipping, bent back handle etc..., but the leg sockets were in great shape.
Donor zav handles from another kettle so she could feel pretty again.
Here's some pics.

Nice one. Were you able to reuse the one touch system?

Nice grab and cleanup Travis.  I think that we are going to need you to take a step back and retake this one so we can see the family.  8)

It didn't have one when I pick it up this morning. They were selling another kettle and just took it off that one and gave it to me.

Looking good @Travis. I'm digging the thin fade line on the 22 MBH.

Nice score! Looks so much better after clean up and those wooden handles.

You made that kettle belong in a nice Red family.  Great looking family.

Excellent addition to the lineup @Travis   I am working on cleaning up a grey N code right now.  It has daisy wheels instead of the one-touch system.  Was that a transition year?  At what point did Weber stop using daisy wheels altogether?

Post by: glrasmussen on October 27, 2016, 07:51:42 PM
Nice score @Travis. @cwmfour, They came in both styles in that era. Have a OT and had a Daisy wheel too. They are limited edition grills. Not sure why the made some Economy version. @Craig or another may have the reason.

Thanks for all the positive feedback, fella's!

@jeffrackmo I hardly get on there to check cause it doesn't seem to have much traffic. I was surprised to see one whenever I checked.

@Travis  I picked up my Jimmy Dean SJ on OfferUp.  Yes, you are right.  Not much traffic but when there is...

Post by: cwmfour on October 28, 2016, 07:49:57 AM
@jeffrackmo  and @Travis I have been tracking a redhead MBH on OfferUp for about 2 weeks.....made an offer and can't seem to get the seller to respond.  This was my first attempt at using that system.  It seems like there are listings that have been on there for months.  Is it typical to get deadends like that on OfferUp or LetGo?  At least with CL the listing will expire.

@cwmfour  I almost bet it sold and the seller didn't follow up.  I ran across that a few times myself.  I just give up and move on.   So far I have never heard of a deadline or expiration of either Letgo or OfferUP...

@cwmfour
I tell ya man, I don't know squat about Let go or Offer up.
I contacted this seller and got an immediate response. I don't know if the site takes old stuff down or what. One would think that the seller would get notifications about people contacting them.
Good luck with it, brother.
@jeffrackmo might have better insight for you

That happens on all three. You almost always here back same day if something is available. I did have one ignore me for a low offer apparently. Offered 30 when it was listed for 50. It was my redhead so I sent a message a couple weeks later to see if it was available and they said yes but not for 30. I ended up paying 45. Not sure why they didn't counter but we are dealing with people not machines. Your response will only be as reliable as the person on the other end regardless of platform.
