I can get a new w/ warranty locally, just the egg (no accessories) for $735.  Is that a good price or should I wait for an Eggfest/demo model?  Thanks for your help for this newbie!

    Good price. May do a little better at a fest. Not sure where you are as prices go up further from ATL, but that's about as good as I can do here in NGA.

    Good price. Buy. IIRC, list price is $859, so that's about 15% off.  I paid around $730 18 months ago. And I'm in Florida. As mentioned, the further from GA, the more expensive due to shipping. Appears you are in OR.

    I'd check around to see whats all available locally, but sounds pretty good

    Where are you located ? If there is an eggfest anytime soon, you can probably get a nest and some other stuff for not that much more. Assuming you want those things.

    Why wait, what's a few bucks extra. The egg is a lifetime unit. $ vs enjoyment. No brainer.

    As others have said, pull the trigger or wait for an eggfest and get a demo egg with accessories! Picked my LBGE demo up for about $700 plate setter, small bag of lump, and block of starters.

    Edit:
    Oh and a nest came with it too.

    That is a great deal in my opinion. I would not let it get away from me.

    Place by me, as of last week, had a L with nest, side tables, handler, and i believe plate setter for $800. I think it was a floor model but still thought that was a great deal.  Im in southeast PA, if anyone wants the location PM me.

    I can buy them and resell them. That's a better deal than I get.

    Buy it.  Then you can watch Craigslist, eBay, or here to get the rest of the parts if you're trying to do it on the cheap.  Is it at Sam's BBQ Co?  New dealer for us.

    that's a great deal, I'm seeing $884 for the same thing in Portland for a L demo egg in June (that was 2015 and 2016 price)

    Best Price around here in PA for a large is $699. At $735 that is still a good price.

    Retail price in the UK with tax is £850, so around $1,060 at the current crappy exchange rate. Post Brexit exchange rate probably not even factored in yet, so prices likely to go up even more.
