To put all speculation aside, this was secured well before it was put on the trading post. I dealt with a very cordial gentlemen. Thank God he was not a CL Flake and an Honest person. I sometimes sit back and wonder where our hobby is going... We are small awesome forum. I am not sure if I see greed or what to attain a collection? It saddens me on what I see going... I play fair and in my own territory, that is me.
This was an awesome deal, that could have gone south. I don't have deep pockets and work a side job to support my hobby. Majority of my collection has been built on $25 or less. That is where I get my enjoyment. My Guardian Angel Spike was looking over me. It is not a Westerner, but it will fit in just fine. It will need a light cleaning and an upgrade to S/S hardware.

Super sweet score. I don't really need a RK, but even I couldn't pass one up at that price! Congratulations! ;D
Great grill and great score!!
I do feel sorry for him.. He has a Ranch Kettle and we aren't close enough to go help hime break it in! I'm glad that there are still some great adn honest people out there who honor their word and follow the unwritten rules of Craigslist. In reallity its simply honesty and integrity. Either you have it or you don't.
Lets face it, we help drive the prices up because of what we do and who we are. We help people embradce their inner Grillfella or Grillsista..
Spring is upon us and I for one am sooo ready..
Enjoy! 8)
Maybe we should just stay on topic for Greg's awesome score. Don't think there was a need to discuss anything else or take away from his score. Start a new topic for any other discussions.
I must have missed something. Great score! Or Not, I dunno,
I want one.

I think shitting on this thread is a poor way to promote community. It has offended me, seriously. I can't believe Greg just took a punch in the face...WOW. I guess where we know this community stands...take an old good standing member and tell him he's a jerk because he doesn't like to get screwed by trolls...seems the guys who keep saying don't try to control craigslist are the ones looking for maximum profit. Which is fine but don't cast stones at others who do the same things. I don't know what the hell is going on around here.
Amen Brian. You said it well, so anything I say would just be saying the same words, but I can't agree more.
Greg-
Awesome score! Now slap something dead on there and lets see it work! (BTW... Let me know if you want a "charcoal wall" welded to the grate like I did. It's nice to pile the coals against for an offset cook.) Oh and for what it's worth, these things don't take as much extra charcoal as you would think. My averages say 1.5X the amount you would usually use in a 22" kettle.
Fantastic score Greg! Congrats buddy...
Glad you got it Greg. Good deal. Cook up something really tasty on it and enjoy. You deserve it!
Greg,
That think looks big enough to melt the snow behind it! Congrats on your acquisition of a very cool kettle - hope you have many great cookouts for your family and friends.

Congratulations, Greg!! Helluva score indeed!!! :)
Welcome to the RK club and congrats! I still remember the day I got mine. The look on my wife's face when we were unloading it from my truck was priceless :)
