Notice the pic of the thermometer. It is blurred where it should say Vision.

Texting excerpt:
Me: I have been looking at them briefly. I didn't know they made black ones. Does it have any rust?
Him:No rust. It works great, my wife is going on a mission trip. I'm selling quick to help her raise funds for her trip.

Black color comment ignored...

I've found when the potential scam alarm goes off, more times than not the alarm is correct.

Agreed ^

It's not an egg.

But it could be innocent ignorance. You never know. "pass me the kleenex" kind of thing.

Obviously not an Egg and NOT even Vision. It look like an Apex kamado.

It could also be a Comet kamado look at it again. Resembles to Comet more.

I Dunno cuz I'm not into Ceramics/Kamados but I texted him

 

[PatAttack]

Definately a Kamado. No green egg there.

Does he know the Model #?

Yep he's full o' sh*t.

All I know, is if he tells you he needs your checking account info to deposit money into your account because he is stuck in Kenya, RUUUUUUUN!!

 

[ButtBurner]

he also suggests "meeting somewhere" to show it

If it were me I would not be offering to haul around that thing just to "show it"

the thermo pic is weird too. Looks like it was done on purpose

I dunno...

 

[deguerre]

Well, MY big green egg is RED and made out of STEEL and I only paid 200 for it.

 

[BillyJoeBob]

Yeah, that add looks suspicious with the thermometer blurred out. I don't think I would risk meeting this person.

Better safe than sorry in these instances.

 

[SmokerKing]

Tell him it's not a BGE and offer him $150 if it isn't cracked.

 

[sliding_billy]

Liar, liar pants on fire.

 

[Teleking]

Tell him it's not a BGE and offer him $150 if it isn't cracked.

Flag the post as fraudulent.

 

[cabowabo]

It's likely stolen. The idiot probably looked it up and found that it looks similar to a BGE...so that is what he is sticking with. I'd stay away, but keep flagging the post as fraudulent.

 

[Smokeoholic]

Maybe the seller is color blind..idk :loco:

 

[SmittyJonz]

I Dunno.......... He may of just found it cheap at a Garage Sale and trying to flip for a profit but don't know Smokers/Kamados ????? Some people are scared to have strangers come to their House when selling stuff. If you are in market see if he will meet at a Safe Public place, take a Friend, Cash and a Gun and see if it's worth a chit and make an offer......... :wink:

 

[stl-rich]

Meet him in the Police Department parking lot

Love my Akorn 8)
