I have an opportunity to buy a Large BGE for 650 with next. Is this a reasonable price? What do they sell for new?

Where where are you located? Add it to your signature line.
Prices vary so much in different areas.
For me $650 is way high. Find a local Eggfest and buy a demo Egg that was used for about 8 hours and comes with full warranty. Ceramics will break. It’s only a matter of time and replacement parts are not cheap.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
$650 used with a nest is not a great deal since it won’t have the warranty included. If it is almost like new than it may be worth it but I wouldn’t spend that much on a used egg. It really depends on the condition of the egg and nest so please elaborate.

Ok I’ll add to signature. I’m in Ms! And it’s brand new in the box. I thought the warranties were transferable
-
great deal. buy it______________________________________________I love lamp..

Or if you change your mind and the BFE is in Southern Mississippi, PM me, I'll buy it.______________________________________________I love lamp..

Nolaegghead, what do they normally run here in this area? It’s located in central Mississippi.

New in box @ $650? I would buy it. I sold two different larges last year for $600 each. It was a bad idea, two different ones have appeared in my backyard. If you buy it, don't sell it.

But you have to buy all of the other accessories that other brands come with so wouldn’t it kinda even out?
-
I think we paid about $1000 with tax for our large. plate setter, no nest. They are going for $800-850 at egg fests, slightly used.Grillsgonwild said:Nolaegghead, what do they normally run here in this area?

Seriously, you just need something like a plate setter for indirect. You can low and slow and grill with just that one accessory.Grillsgonwild said:But you have to buy all of the other accessories that other brands come with so wouldn’t it kinda even out?______________________________________________I love lamp.. -
With a warranty, that sounds like an excellent deal.Stillwater, MN
-
Heck I may buy it. Came here a while back and never posted anything because I’m too indecisive to buy but I think it’s a good price
-
No...warranty is not transferable. Dealer may request invoice, proof of purchase for replacement parts. There is very little control over how a dealer may handle a future replacement part.Grillsgonwild said:Ok I’ll add to signature. I’m in Ms! And it’s brand new in the box.

Photo egg I appreciate it. But where do I find a demo egg?

Sorry for not first welcoming you!Grillsgonwild said:Photo egg I appreciate it. But where do I find a demo egg?
Demo Egg is the term given to Eggs that are used, normally for 1 day, during an Eggfest. Eggfest is a local gathering of Eggheads sponsored by a local dealer and their BGE distributor. https://biggreenegg.com/eggfests/
There are more. They don't always get listed on the main BGE site.
The info I posted above is from the Athens Texas Eggfest. https://athenseggfest.com/2019/01/22/purchase-a-demo-egg-while-supplies-last/
Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
Thanks for the welcome! I don’t think we have one real close to where I live. Would be a 3 hour drive. I’m back and forth on getting it. The Kamado Joe 2 comes with so much but it’s double the price almost.Photo Egg said:

3 hours seems like a long drive but we attend many Eggfests just for fun and to cook. The Georgia Mountain Eggfest was a 2 day drive each way. We have been there twice. In Houston traffic, it takes me 3 hours to get home some days.Grillsgonwild said:

You will enjoy the Hell out of a decent Eggfest and it would be well worth the drive. It will cut your learning curve in half watching the cooks.
Many Eggfests in Texas but they are all at least 3 hours from home. Been to all them and most many times.
Make a weekend of it and drive to the Athens Texas Eggfest.
I own KJ and have nothing bad to say about product or service. But I would never pay close to double the price. Would rather have 2 Eggs.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
Well....the egg sold today. I planned to get it tomorrow but....

And all egg tests are not created equal. Some charge more of even way more than others. All do give savings compared to retail. Sunshine state does a real steep discount. Not sure if the exact price, but I think it’s sub 700 for a large. W nest and plate setter.=======================================

Not sure if the same number of XL and Large eggs will be at this years Sunshine State Eggfest, but if you can make it down @GrillsGoneWild it should be worth the trip.
