School Auction

[bigfurmn]

My son's school is doing a fund raiser auction. Came across this and I'm tempted.

Masterbuilt 30-inch Analog Electric Smoker
3 Bags of Wood Chips
Seasoning
Tongs
Spatula

Right now going at $130.
Thoughts?

Depends on if you are considering this as a donation to your son's school, or getting a good deal. Four on Craigslist here right now from $40 to $100. Two don't have pics so they might be 40s.

@dsk true. This one is new in the box. My niece gets married next weekend and her hubby to be is a semi pro fisherman without a smoker. I think you see where I'm going here.

Ok someone just jumped this to $195. I love my niece and all but....

Good gifts might get you rewarded with fish! We trade sweet corn for fish... just sayin!

@brokeni have a 40 MES BT that he could rewire for free. Plus it's out of my garage then.

Since it's for a good cause, re-wire it and then give it to him.
PS: that might encourage more fish or fishing trips.

As it's a wedding present, it's better to give something new. I suggest using the $150 you were willing to spend and getting him a brand spanking new Auber and a couple of wire nuts. And then tell him where he can get a free smoker.

Was a thought. The thought passed.
