I was at my local dealer the other day, nd He told me about an upcoming charity event they are hosting. Essentially people will pay a fee to cook with a professional BBQ chef, then the BGE wil be sold as a used unit.

The price for the demo Large BGE is $850. The price includes: A large BGE, the nest, about 4 tools, the place setter, the side racks, 20lb bag of lumb coals and fire sticks.

One, is this a good deal?

    Sounds a little high to me.
    Check out the eggfest banners. The New Egglandfest is selling a large with everything but the plate setter for 604. Peoria is 675 with a plate setter.

    I think it's a good deal. The Egg alone retails for $799 and the nest is over $100. Just because you are not getting the best Eggfest price in the country does not make it a bad deal. It's also relative to where you live since the distributors decide what the retail prices are for there areas and I can tell you that as a dealer I would lose money if I sold them at the New Egglandfest prices.

    Sounds like a $200+/- savings.

    are you sure you can lock in that price and the egg won't be put up for auction since it's a charitable event, thus possibly driving up the price? OTOH I've donated a couple large eggs in the past to Easter Seal auctions and they both went for $200 below retail. Go figure...

    Brand new my Large BGE, nest, thermometer, ash tool, plate setter, cover, bag of charcoal, fire starters, and 4 alder planks and the tool used to lift grid cost me 993 after tax. That was delivered and put together for me... I wouldn't mind a used one for the price you paid...
