Title: Stok Island 2 burner gas grill
Post by: smokeasaurus on August 03, 2013, 02:55:28 PM
Saw one in a box at a yard sale. Checked on-line and it looks like a Weber rip-off. They want 75.00 or it.............thinking about it, I got a co-worker that wants a Weber Q*320 but doesn't have that much coin. I could flip it for 150.00 and double my money... The box looked factory sealed...whatchall think??

Never seen or used one but both Amazon and Home Depot have a good number of review and they both average an aggregate above 4.5 stars ... flip it.

$299 at HD and $329 at Amazon.  I'd try to negotiate at $60  and sell it to your co-worker for "half price".

Nice looking grill. Heck for $75 I might be tempted to keep it. I love the big knobs for adjusting the burners, and the insert system. It looks to be well thought out from a design perspective.  It gets 5* on Amazon - listing for $329.00. It should be an easy flip!

As a moderator here, I have to watch for non family friendly content but I just have to say a bad word: Gosh Darnit!!!!!!

I couldn't find the house that had the big yard sale. My buddy was driving and we were up around the Foothills (his old stomping grounds) and he was whipping through these side streets and I can't find it....... >:( >:(

He is gonna get me in the morning and take me over there and hopefully it is still there.........

Sorry about the foul language..... ;)

Smoke that reminds me of the movie Beerfest where the guy has to get drunk to remember where the beer drinking competition was located ;)

Your friend must have been sober :D

Found the house and there was no yard sale.

Knocked on the door and she informed me there will be no yard sale today.

I informed her that I have cash on me and does she still have the grill?

She informed me that she still has the grill and she will be selling it next week and then slammed the door in my face.........

If the grill did not have such positive write ups, I wouldn't even go back next week......................but I will....(http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc469/s1cott11/funny%20icons/icon_biggrin.gif) (http://s1213.photobucket.com/user/s1cott11/media/funny%20icons/icon_biggrin.gif.html)

One nice thing about the delay is I can check with my co-workers and see just how set they are on getting a gasser so i don't waste my time next weekend..........then again...there is always Craigslist......

Slammed the door in your face ... yeah, I'd have a tough time giving her my money, no matter how the good the deal.

Looks like a job for .....Veryolddog. Women just cannot keep their hands off of me.

She would probably give me the grill.

Use some charm and finesse Smoke. Take a shower. Put on some aftershave, be suave.

I could splash on some "smell goods" but like they say  "You can't polish a turd"  ;)

You could bring a bottle of TendaRub as a good will gesture.

And you could go heavy on the Axe Body Spray  ::)
