I may just buy this one - if the price is right

[ynot2k]

I'm considering buying this - but I have no real idea how much it's worth.  What do you all think it's worth?  Or, better yet, how much would you pay for it?

2004 Klose BBQ trailer pit. This pit is fabricated from 1/4 inch plate in the main cook chamber and smoke box as well as 3/8 inch plate for the fire box.

I suggest a try it before you buy it. That's a nice looking rig. Can't help with price:(.

Today is the day I need to make a decision.  Asking price is $4500.  Anybody else have any insight into price?

Thanks.

Very versatile and when learned , will hold temps and cook like a dream...this one was $2K when I got it(after shipping).

I'm sure it's a great pit - and that I will love it.  Just unsure on price...

No shipping involved on this purchase, but I will have to drive 50 miles to pick it up after work and 100 miles back home...

Thanks for all input so far.

If you are cooking for 100+ folks quite often, and it's what you are looking for..... Take cash and start at 3500... 4500 does seem like a good price.... Jack it up and check the wheel bearings before the trip home... and have a spare with you...

Offered him $3000 and he said YES!  Picking it up tonight.  Will definitely check wheel bearings before towing home.  Not sure if he has a spare wheel/tire for it, but I can pick one up on the way home.  Good advice, thanks.

Next summer I plan on starting a catering business for up to 100 people with this rig.  My BBQ is pretty well known among my friends, so hopefully word of mouth will get the business off the ground.  Then fairs and festivals as well.  Then maybe a brick and mortar joint later.  I have big plans, now let's just see how they turn out!

Thanks to all who made comments - I really appreciate it.
