Thinking about selling my XL BGE

and wondering what I should charge. I have a L, which I use most of the time...rarely use the XL and it is gathering dust and taking up a lot of space. Comes with a wood table (slightly warped board), digi-q, BGE cover, etc. My nephew and 2 neighbors are interested. It's about 10 years old, but in great shape.

    Yes do tell. If Nephew and Neighbors want it I say give them first chance. I think any where from 600 to 800 with all that is a great deal. Might get 900 from others.

    Thanks for the replies. I'm in Dallas. I have sellers remorse just thinking about it, but really, it needs to go to someone who will use it. The neighbor (on Nextdoor) was asking for a good deal on a used XL BGE...I replied I was considering selling mine then another neighbor messaged me wanting to buy it. I haven't gotten back with them. My nephew, in Houston, said he'd buy it, but frankly, I am not inclined to sell it to him since, being family...I know I'd discount it heavily and I'd rather get a fair price (he can easily afford a new one). I gave him a DCS Grill about 4 years ago. I might be better off selling the DigiQ by itself, since I'm not sure the people buying the egg will want to pay for that add-on.

    yeah...shows how little I've used it...the Large is a lot more "seasoned". I'd just replaced the felt before the pics were taken.

    IMHO here in SoCal  $1200 would be a deal.

    So clean it almost looks like a dedicated baking egg. Cue @RRP who has a SBGE dedicated for baking.

    My baking egg is a medium, but I'll be glad to help!

    Definitely been well cared for however it got to where it is.  The general rule around here is to discount around 50% from the new retail price for the BGE itself due to absence of warranty.  I would use that as a benchmark and then it depends on you and your neighbors.  I don't envy having two interested as that sounds like a no-win outcome on one side.  (I'm guessing Nextdoor is a local neighborhood forum...).
    To avoid that you may want to check-out CL and see what comes up.  Your BGE so good luck with wherever you land.

    IMO keep the XL.

    I have a L and an XL.  If I'm allowed to keep one it'd be the XL ... it's a rib machine; doesn't use significantly more lump than L; you can do kettle style indirect in it ... lump in reducer ring in the middle with wings, legs, whatever in circle around the fire, nice infrared heat from the lump without the platesetter; or lump outside the ring with roast/chicken/whatever in the middle surrounded by fire.  For quick cooks (burger, steaks, sausages) I use a smaller grid that sits on the ring just 1-2 inches above the lump, less lump and more direct heat than L or XL stock grid sitting on fire ring. If you have a Large AR it still fits on the XL. Think I better stop but hope you get the idea  ;)

    If you're selling it to a neighbor, I assume they're still sort of getting a lifetime warranty on it unless you or he moves ;)
