Finally bit the bullet!!! Been looking at the mini (not mini max) for a few years now and finally came across one unintentionally on a business trip to Atlanta! Man.... the price difference between SC and GA are unreal. Got the grill with carrier included, a bag of charcoal, and a box of fire starters for $360 NEW! My local dealer offered to order a mini with their next load and quoted me $499.99 for the mini and $79.99 for the carrier then tried their best to talk me into the $699.99 mini max that they do keep in stock.... SMH. Just an hour and a half away I saved a couple hundred dollars on my new mini! Well worth the impulse buy!

Nice. I recommend that you find a new dealer. $699 for a Mini Max is criminal.

You need a new dealer.

Merry Christmas from the GF! She put $200 on it as my Christmas present so it really only cost me $160 out of my own pocket! She mite be a keeper
Hope the XL doesn't get "jealous" now with the mini in the picture -

Unlucky for me I only have one BGE dealer that's conveniently "close" to me being -15 min away and it's a locally owned business. The next closest is over an hour away in a completely different county. My local dealer does have egg cooking events and special sales from time to time but not really a large selection of BGE products and they don't carry all sizes. They are notoriously known for being over priced on EVERYTHING. I purchased a colt ar15 back in the day from an ace hardware for $1150 and wanted a 2nd matching rifle. The same rifle was priced at over $1600 at this location.
