Seeing a used performer deluxe listed, wanted some advice on what price I should aim for. The seller is asking for $300

    I’d offer $250 at most probably, depending on how close it is. the grate is pretty crusty and those are around $60.

    I would try to knock off some, maybe like 100 at minimum because of two things: it needs a new grate and that’s going to cost like 35-50 bucks. Also, it looks like the lid handle is bent, which is just an inconvenience for me. Overall looks to be a great looking performer

    does the gas starter still work? The fact that there’s a canister screwed in makes me think yes? Looks like it would be a decent deal.

    I paid $200 for mine a few years ago. Mine didn’t have the timer or baskets, and it isn’t that cool copper color.
    But I don’t use the timer or the baskets.

    Check Lowe’s and Home Depot. Lots of clearance pricing on items.

    Always start low, I’d say 160, work your way up to 200

    I got mine for $175 and I really wanted to pay only $125-150. It was in really great shape and didn’t have rusted grates and a scratched up table like this one plus it came with the cast iron insert. I didn’t want to let it slip away so I paid and I’m glad I did. With this said I would only offer $100 and only go as high as $125-150. And make sure the ash catcher/cleaner works properly since you can’t tell by these photos.

    I paid $250 for the same model listed on Marketplace a few months ago. I would offer $200 based on the grates needing to be replaced. Test the ignition system and drop your offer another $50 if it’s not working well. It’s an easy DIY repair if needed, but a new igniter costs around $40-$50.

    Think I got mine for $125. Use it multiple times a week. Its the best

    Paid $140 for my first copper performer.

    100 but depending on your area and other prices maybe 150.

    I picked up mine for $100. But it was the older model with the fiberglass table.

  13. Easy_does_it78

    $50 used. I would not pay close to $300

    $300 is on the high end but not unreasonable for a Performer Deluxe in good condition. New, they run $500-600, so you’re saving $200-300 which is fair.

    $100 $125 tops $300 is crazy brand new is $550

    $100 to $150, you will need to replace all the grates at a minimum

    I got the same one for 140 I was happy with my purchase and a good clean.
