    I guess it’s like realizing you have a winning lottery ticket but the lottery office is closed.

    I think it’s worth much more. I would bet there are some serious collectors out there that are suspicious at $1000 that it’s been used, or repainted or not really original.  At $2500 or more I bet you get their attention.  $1000 is just too good of a deal for what it is.

    Would you spend $2500.00 for that?

    Just curious.

    Obviously it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

    At $650 tho the number of people that are willing to pay that much probably is pretty close to zero.

    Doubtful that anybody here is willing to pay that much but if someone does, be sure to tell us who bought it so we can make jokes about them for years to come. :)

    Good luck with your sale - seriously, that one is in mint condition and I'm sure someone somewhere would love to have it.

    I would probably throw 150 at it. I can buy other chimineas for around that. Not bge, or necessarily top quality, but i wouldnt want a ceramic one anyways. Good old fire pit for me.

    Funny. If you had my money, the only thing you would order, dining out, would be a toothpick, a mint, and a glass of water.

    At 650, you could go basically buy another Large BGE and actually cook on it. All chiminea's are basically worthless, you're just buying the BGE name in this case. I put an offer in for $400 and was denied. And i felt stupid bidding that much

    Call me a fanboy, but I don't think that $650 is crazy at all. In my search, I was seeing them sold between $200-$1000, and all were used, none in really great condition. This one is damn brand new. To the right person, this should sell for what he's asking or close to it.

    At his fantasy asking price, he’s basically looking for a green-blooded collector that is in gotta-have it mode.  Not someone that is looking for a nice fire in the backyard and happens to like BGEs.

    You can't blame him for posting it on here...No need to insult the man.

    I take back what I said about acceptable 1st sale post.

    $650!!  Are you serious or is this @nolaegghead trolling?

    $250 max.  It is a cool novelty for this crowd, and worthless to most outside this group.

    Did you just agree with yourself?  Or was that Isaac agreeing with Ozzie?

    That was Isaac sticking it to The Man.  They won't let him react to Ozzie's post, so he just quoted her post ;)

    Just FYI, it appears as though chiminea cones are still available for replacement.

    I’m pretty sure those are going to be harder to come by than Yukonrons Weller Bourbon. If I see anything regarding those pieces I will surely let you know.
