Whoo Hoo!  Guy called me back just now and said to pick it up.  Thought for sure it was a scam, but said he has been busy. Said I was the first on his voicemail so it was mine. I thought for sure he'd not take $425 that I offered, and I be damned if he took it.  

I'm leaving work at noon to head over and pick it up.  

Maybe changing my name to tripleEgger . 

Way to go! I am impressed you got it for even less than what was already an amazing price. Good call on offering him less. Even if it has lighter fluid residue, you should be able to cook that out of there eventually. Hope you plan to rehab the table too. Post some pics when you get it home please. Inspired by your success, I might just start watching cl for a bargain.
Hope you don't get there and he has changed his mind or accepted a higher offer. That would be my luck.

Congrats on the score.  Better to be lucky than good any day.  Enjoy.

Congrats. Maybe I'll get lucky like this sometime next year when I start looking for my third Egg. I'm glad that someone from here got it. Report back on the lighter fluid issue and let us know how it goes.

I just emailed his this link.lol
Nice score!

Hope the guy doesn't have seller's remorse after reading. Would have waited until Matt picked it up before sending the thread. In any event, congrats.  Quite a score. Well done.

Hold on a minute here!  I contacted the guy and offered $250 and he said I could have it and his pickup too if I was interested.  What gives?

Was he trying to throw in some seeing eye monkeys too by chance and go by the name Big Tater (had a raspy mousy voice)?

Nice score!  Lucky dog.

OK, I have been thinking about this and I am amazed you have the patience to wait until noon. I would be useless with anxiety and excitement waiting for time to leave. 
Good luck with the pick up and journey back home.

I was joking...hence the...lol
I'm always happy to see a nice score by another Egghead.

tarheelmatt

Okay.. I've let this go on too long.  

I thought I'd pull some chains here, and appears I did just that.  

I didn't inquire about this.  I noticed that others were not getting a reply and seized the opportunity.  Hopefully, someone will get notified that this is available and can pick it up!  Though that will not be me.  

Thought this gif would be fitting to this:

Can I have the pickup? It's kind of hard to tailgate without a truck so I'm feeling put out. maybe the guberment will give me one.

Hope your dome falls off on your foot now matt.

I knew when I was getting PMs from folks wanting to buy it off me, that I should probably post I was kidding.

Shoulda rode it out a little longer. Could have lifted some pics from somebody. Posted a huge cracked egg. Would have had a gofundme new egg by the weekend.

Well played Matt.  

Around here, that would be more than double the $.  I think seller is looking to abduct middle aged, heavy set bbq guys.

Pro Tip: Always use the buddy system when going to pick up something at a strangers house found via Craigslist. 

Especially when the seller is apparently a carnivore.

Well said. My son buys and sells car parts on Craig's list sometimes. I usually go along for the exchange. I stay out of the transaction and just hover in over watch.  And I am always armed.

You, sir, are an a$$hole (that had everyone falling for it.)  Nice job.  Remind me to never play poker with you.

At least if this XL is bogus nobody's hurt. Some people just don't possess common sense.
