I was looking on Weber's website today and notices the MSRP prices are higher than I remember. The 22" Original kettle has an MSRP of $109.00 and the Performer Delux has an MSRP of $499.00. Are these new MSRP prices, or has it been this way? If these are new, that's a pretty big jump for the Performor Delux!
I've noticed retailers such as crate & barrel and a few others use the $499 as an msrp but sells it for $399. Probably just a marketing ploy to make buyers feel as if they are getting a discount.
Just checked and Amazon still had the Copper and Green at $399. Interestingly enough, I also found this:

Not sure where they're shipping it from . . .

I'm like you I didn't notice the price changes from Weber. Of course I haven't been looking all that hard for a new one.

I noticed prices have gone up as well. Looks like they used the Red Limited Edition as the intro grill to their new prices.
I looked on Amazon and prices seemed normal compared to the past couple of years.

Damn, they sure are proud of that one! That's a lot of cash!! :o
At least for the Performer, that is the normal MSRP. Everyone sells it for $400 though. Classic making you think you're getting a discount.
Check out the weber website. Mastertouch is now 219. Wasn't it always 199? Premium is also up $10, not including the Red one.
On the Weber site, the MSRP for the Performer Deluxe is $449.00, and that's the same for the Black, Green, or Copper. There is no Crimson on their site, but I have found it, for $399 on several other sites:
- True Value (http://www.truevalue.com/product/64371.uts)
- Ace (http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=50759396)
- Acme (http://www.acmetools.com/shop/tools/weber-15503001-performer-deluxe-charcoal-grill-22-inch?cm_mmc=Google-_-PRODUCTFEED-_-WEBER-_-15503001&CAWELAID=600009240000668516&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=41176184074&CATCI=pla-357307512209&catargetid=600009240005416602&cadevice=c&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvrfSBRC2ARIsAFumcm-zM-SyjVmiyRg_uAqbe0ptZYG7WVIav0YhIYTkB8mjnokgChrYgF4aAuLpEALw_wcB)

Just to name a few. I think the Amazon one is just some greedy SOB who is trying to take advantage of some unsuspecting newbie.
Ace even has a Red Kettle (http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=50759326&KPID=19845463&cid=CAPLA:G:Shopping_-_Weber_Grills&pla=pla_19845463&k_clickid=9e149cb4-9939-4b07-8c37-e4c0e8caaf93&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvrfSBRC2ARIsAFumcm-qd0Z7Ai_nsgCNbthsal_gnYwx6KKydi4oyKQRW5U2Q4GztVR5lPMaArjSEALw_wcB) at $149 (looks Crimson to me) that is different from their Red Limited Edition (http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=141532356&KPID=26859011&cid=CAPLA:G:Shopping_-_Weber_Grills&pla=pla_26859011&k_clickid=9e149cb4-9939-4b07-8c37-e4c0e8caaf93&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvrfSBRC2ARIsAFumcm9Kp4rw6ypdcJuRskyfEkO2Hs21YHu_ty1JAZqOVmGNIZE0woXNSjUaAqxqEALw_wcB) for $199.
