I've had some priority changes in life and need to sell my mm + accessories, plan on listing on craigslist. How much would you list it for, and what would your minimum price be during negotiation? Selling everything pictured; mm, table, smokeware cap, woo, kick ash basket, grid, ceramic, and drip pan.

    It's sad, but probably $350-400 max?  Craiglist buyers don't see the value in accessories.  All they see is the MiniMax itself and they're going to want it for $300.  You might find someone here that recognizes the value in everything else though.....retail on everything pictured is over $800 easy.

    I'd start at $450. You can always come down. Hard to go up in price

    Before you list it, take a little time and clean it up. The Smokeware cap will clean up to look almost new. Spray with oven cleaner and into zip-loc bag.
    Make it looked well cared for. I know, it's a grill. But 60 minutes worth of spare time will pay off on your selling price.
    And take a little extra time and post some good photos of it cleaned up.
    Sorry you are dumping the Egg but at least it hold decent value used compared to many other brands.
    I agree, I was thinking maybe you should do a clean burn to get some of gunk out.

    If you were close I'd take that kickash basket off your hands...my minimax is in need of one. You may be able to package and sell those accessories and get a little more coin.

    Sorry to hear...that's a great little setup.

    Sorry you have to get rid of the MM.  Dont forget to list on facebook marketplace as well.  Huge audience there.  I am with @Photo Egg, on the cleanup up the eggs.  I dont recommend a nuclear, run it wide open clean burn because there is always potential to crack, and melt a gasket.  But I would run it for a while at 550-600 to clean it up, and a cheap gasket replacement never hurts.  I have sold three eggs in the past.  They all went incredibly quick, and I believe that is because I priced them in between the low ball amount, and what I would want.  Here is one I sold that was almost 8 years old when I sold it.  I sold it for more than I paid for it brand new. (upgraded bands however, and warranty firebox/ring inside, making it look real new :))
