Simpsons Smokey Joe. Not!!!
« on: April 12, 2016, 09:07:06 AM »
So 4 or so weeks ago EricD one posted a craigslist ad in online finds for a NIB Simpsons Kettle. After seeing the ad it was a Smokey Joe. I got in touch with the seller, and after some back & forth we struck a deal. So in the end 50 bucks + shipping & I'll be the proud owner of a Simpsons Smokey Joe still in original packaging. So, today it shows up. Wow! big box. Obviously seller packed it securely so it would make it from Boston to Stoney Creek ON safely.

So here's what I have;



Damn it I hate when sellers aren't honest about what they have!!!!

Are you shitting me?   You thought your were getting a HS SJ and got a HS OTG??  Wow you got hit with some really good luck.  It will be interesting to see how it looks when you unbox it.  A lot of the NIB kettles tend to have wear spots on the lid rim...hopefully your good luck stays with you for the reveal!

WOW!  I'd have bought that if I had paid closer attention to the posting (I saw it before it was posted here)!  Great find and pickup-hopefully you aren't too disappointed!!

@Darko What did they charge you for shipping?  I would have been told $70 and said for a smokey joe no way and blown the whole deal.  Nice job on one of the best scores I have seen.

Absolutely amazing! Great score! I can't believe how many I've seen for sale since I bought mine at Christmas. I over paid but I have no regrets, I love it.

It was higher than that, but I thought basically, when am I going to get the chance to buy one. Like any kettle, the question is when am I going to get the chance for another, what's it going to cost and am I willing to pay that price? In this case I answered yes. So, I'm happy.

I'm with you on that.  Got my Simpsons SJ for $89 plus shipping (around $30 I think) and was happy with the price I paid.  It sits in my living room and has never been cooked on.  I'll double or triple my money with a little time and patience.  Until then its a talking peice that sites next to the fireplace.
