Thanks for the input, Fellas.
You walk away happy and so do they.
The guy that bought it about skipped away happy. First thing he checked was to make sure it had the brand new cooking grate.
I'm pleased, as well. This was an estate sale pickup from this past summer. Was originally marked $25; it was the last day of the sale, so it was 1/2 off. It was missing both grates and the ash pan. They were in the last hour of the sale when I got there. I offered $5, they took it. I cherry picked the handles and the near-pristine white walled wheels off of it and it's been sitting ever since. The only thing I did prior to selling it was to give the outside a wipedown, added my worst 18 ash pan, an old char grate, a new non-flip cook grate that I've had for years, old-style plastic handles and
oila. I got more $ than I what I had into it, including time, cleared up some space, got a couple of bonus points from the wife, and made a stranger happy.
I think your description gave the buyers way more confidence that they were getting a nice grill at a killer price.
He most certainly
did get a nice grill at a killer price.
