First I want to thank all the members of the forum for their very kind advice on my previous questions.
I purchase a used Medium today at a price that I feel was very good and for a size that my wife and I agreed should be a starting point.
I was pleased to get the 2 year old ,seldom used medium with a cover, plate setter, pizza stone, Looftlighter that looks new, Big Green charcoal and fire starters, new heat resistant gloves, the hardcover edition of "The Big Green Egg Cookbook" and of course the nest for $450. I'm feeling real good about this and my wife and I a psyched to start our adventures. I'll address a bigger egg when and if I need to.
Thanks again to everyone.

Welcome to the cult!
Whether you do or do not buy more egg associated toys, you will eat at home more, which is a win in my book.

Congrats. You'll be well served with the medium. It's a great cooker. She's a little firecracker though so watch the temps. Small changes in vent settings can make quick jumps in temp. Like driving a Ferrari.

That is over $200 less than I paid for my medium set up in 2009 and I didn't get the pizza stone or looftlighter thrown in on that. The looftlighter came about 4 years ago. If the original owner was still using the official charcoal He must have used it 10 times or less.
Fire that baby up! -
Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on an excellent purchase.

Sounds like you got a great deal. Welcome.

Congrats on the great deal and welcome! Just want to share this... if/when you do clean burn or pizza cook, try not to go nuclear, to minimise the risk of cracking any ceramic part (since/assuming you don't have the lifetime warranty).

If if you have a dealer, I would go make friends. All dealers aren't created equal, so do some research if there are multiples around your area. I would also inquire as to the purchase date and details from the seller. Sometimes those nontransferable warranties miraculously get serviced. -
" don't do clean burns "
I really don't have an idea yet what a clean burn is?? -
Agree don't go over 700 for pizza, btw I seldom cook pizza in my eggs (another story). Clean burn is akin to self cleaning your kitchen oven, some folks go nuclear until the dome thermometer needle 'wraps around'canuckland
