OT-Looking for a used Nest for my large.

What is a good price for a used nest for a large? How much is a new one?

Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,

    You should be able to find one for free on craigslist. People get tables and the nest is no longer needed. Not sure what new one runs, but I would say 40 bucks for a used one that isn't rusted out.

  • Yea a used nest is cheap. Built many custom carts for guys, and they usually sell their nests for $40 or so.  Check Craigslist in your area!

    I've bought 4 large and 1 XL nests off Craigslist. They were all $40 with some negotiating. The most I've spent is $50 for a small nest from a member here on the forum. The small nest doesn't come up very often on Craigslist. The large nests are the most common and you shouldn't have to pay more than $50 for one. Double check the bolts for tightness when you bring one home. Just to be safe before throwing an egg in there.

    Look into a 'Handler' while your at it - it compliments your egg nicely. You'll have to pay full pop for it as guys don't let them go, about $125 or so.
