    1 year old 26" weber

    You guys think that it would be worth $225? It's in great shape, hardly used. I can't seem to find a price for a new one to make a comparison. It's a one-touch gold, or so the guy says.

    New they are $299 at on Amazon, so not a bad price. Tax would be ~$25, so ~$100 less than new.

      I typed weber one-touch gold, and didn't get any hits. Hmmmm...
      It is an OBO ad, so maybe some negotiations are in order!

    The model that fuzzydaddy referenced is the current version, it replaced the One Touch Gold. The original One Touch Gold retailed for $349.00 so in that regard it's not a bad deal. But with a brand new current version going for $299.00 it doesn't look like that great of a deal. I'd spend the additional 50 bucks on a new one.

      I'm leaning toward agreeing with ribeyeguy on going with a new one, not because saving $75 isn't important, but with the new one you get the warranty and if, say the lid is out of round or something, Weber will take care of you whereas they may not if you find that used-but-looks-new one isn't sealing or something. Now, if it were half price, $150-ish, that'd be a great deal in my personal opinion.

      I would try to negotiate the price down or just buy a new one. That's not a bad price but it's not a deal either.

          what is the worst he can say? No!
          I would go into it like this, what is a deal for you? Lets say $160, offer and let the wood chips land where they may.

        If you are negotiating via email, send him a link to the new grill on Amazon. And don't forget to mention that a new one comes with a guarantee.

          Boys, Boys, Boys, The first Rule of Negotiating a Price is never Start out at over 50% of the Asking Price! When the Seller regains his feet if he doesn't Grab His Gun and Order You Off the Place, You can get down to Serious Business! Works Everytime, 100% Guarnteed Success! 😉😎😇😎😉

            the second rule of negotiating a price is... don't leave money on the table! Go view the item, look it over with a scowl on your face, compliment it so they know you know what you are talking about and then point out the obvious flaws (condition, fit/finish). Be ready to walk away if they aren't willing to negotiate, but never pay asking price. Dance the dance until the music stops.

            I always show up with a paper bag full of $5 bills. It makes an impressive pile of money when you start counting $5 and putting them on the table. It's hard to walk away from a pile of money, especially of you hold to your price.
