Got someone offering up a used large + Adj Rig + nest + cover for $850. I think he's a little high. What do y'all think? No pics, but says it's only been used a handful of times.

    The big factor in buying used isn't "how used" it is.  It's that the warranty isn't transferable to the buyer - so you don't get the warranty.

    I agree, that's very high.  The warranty is well worth the difference.

    That's probably $300 off retail for all that stuff. Seems a little high to me with the warranty issue.

    That's what I told him. His response was "I think $500 off retail after taxes is a pretty good deal and if you read the warranty using non BGE accessories voids the warranty anyways". My response to that was, the warranty is a big deal to people who know and I still think you're high. You might sell it to someone who doesn't know anything about them, but for someone who knows about the warranty issue, that's too high.

    The lifetime warranty is exactly why I would never buy a used Egg...unless the price was at least 1/2 of what I could get locally or at Eggfest. Between replacing my base once and firebox and fire ring twice, I would have lost money already if I weren't the original registered owner.

    The price is subjective really. What's it worth to you? And are you comfortable not having a warranty? Price is the price... I'm sure you could get that negotiated drown a bit but, doesn't change the fact it will come with 0, zilch, nada warranty. To me that's a bummer.

    To be honest, I just sold my egg and most of the setup. You guys realize that you shouldnt spend that much on a used egg for lack of warranty, but the truth is that so many people are none the wiser and think that is a steal because they are not on the forum and see what we do.  Mine sold in a flash and the guy was grateful eventhough the egg was NAsssssssTY
