Is $625 a reasonable price for a used large BGE?

Hi. I’ve got the chance to purchase a used large BGE for $625. It’s 6 years old but hasn’t been used in a couple years. Only accessories are the nest and ceramic platesetter. Is that a reasonable price? Thanks in advance.

$625 is steep. It will eventually be a $625 egg with something cracked and no warranty.They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. - George Carlin

I also agree with them. (I'm from Minnesota) Poolside has an Eggfest this September. I recommend checking that out. A good way to learn a thing or two about the BGE. I'd also check with some local Aces about demo pricing. What I'd suggest is just to buy the BGE solo. You can pick up the nest and tables 2nd hand for cheap. (I've never spent more than $40 on a large nest) That way your BGE has a lifetime warranty as it doesn't really matter with your nest and tables. Just a thought

For reference, a local dealer in GA will sell a LBGE, Nest and Platesetter for $789 + tax. So, as others have said, I don't think it's a good deal at all.Located Middle GA

This is location dependent. I sold two large eggs two months ago, both for $600 each. They both had nests, one had a platesetter, one had a woo and a pizza stone. I had done necessary warranty firebox and fire ring replacements, and put Rutland gaskets on them. I made an effort to clean them up, and took decent pictures. I sold one in 24 hours and one in 3.

@cookingdude555 - better to be lucky than good any day.
Most eggcellent as I always figure 50% of retail for used BGE is the starting point and then work the extras. I would venture neither of the buyers are on the forum.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -
Wassis in Florida was selling demo larges at the egg fest for 635. I just couldn’t get them to deliver to Montana, even though I offered to take em fishing for a couple days!!!
i bought my large used for 375. No nest or
plate setter fwiw. -

That's a very reasonable price in So Cal.XLBGE, LBGE, MBGE, SMALL, MINI, 2 Kubs, Fire Magic Gasser

Unless it was dirt cheap, I simply wouldn't want a BGE without a warranty. At $600 or thereabouts, you won't miss the difference it will take to get demo egg.Stillwater, MN

I just bought a LBGE for $400 in Los Angeles off of craigslist a couple of weeks ago, the seller was asking $550 including a brand new cast iron placesetter, brand new egg mates, smokeware cap, cover, and nest. After bringing it home I discovered a crack in the base and I was kicking myself for not spending the extra $450 for the warranty but I got lucky, the seller felt bad and put in a warranty claim and the base should be delivered next week. In hindsight, I would just pay the extra $ and have the piece of mind of the warranty.XL BGE, Large BGE
