lol - wow, that's a bad deal. Glad it's a HEAVY glass carboy
Wow, unless he's got a bunch more equipment to throw in, his claims are a bit lofty. If you're interested, make him a lowball offer of $25 and see how much he's willing to compromise.
Wow. Not even close to $150 brand new, shipped:

I wonder how old the included ale kit is? All that stuff is under $100 brand new, total crap...

Someone should send him an email and ask him if he's trying to sell this stuff to support his crack addiction. :cross:

Northern Brewer has the same stuff for $105.00
He must be talking pesos.

Someone's just trying to turn a nice profit by finding some idiot who has no idea how much this stuff is worth or where to look for it. Hey, it's on Craigslist - it's got to be a great deal, right?

Or maybe he is the idiot and paid $300 for that stuff and is thinking he is giving someone a good deal @ $150.
Not a bad business model for the ethically challenged; drop $100 on a basic kit, turn around and try and sell it for $150. Worst-case - you've got more gear!

Wife: You need to quit brewing. Sell that gear. How much did you pay for it all?
Hubby: $400.
Wife: Sell it for $150. Get it out of here!!
Hubby: (hehehehe)

You would never, EVER inflate the amount that you spend on brewing gear to the wife. NEVER.

Would you rather argue about a sunk expense or give up brewing?
How about this:
Bill for all of his stuff ~$75
Bill for the strip club with friends: $400
Told the wife... "Spent $400 on brewing gear."
See how you can sink in a strip club trip? Now all you need to do is hide the brewing catalogs (not like she'll read them) and she has no way to verify your price.

That's a real dangerout game your proposing! You're liable to be cut off from any further brewing purchases, AND she'll still prolly pick up the stripper-perfume on your clothers when she's doing laundry...

LOL. That's like saying you have a brand new car for sale; only has 8,000 miles!

You easily combat that by doing your own laundry.

I can't tell you how many times my buddy has stopped by my house on the way home from the stripclub, just for a mirror check and a chance to wash the glitter and perfume off!olllllo said:
Sometimes he'll leave me all his dollar bills, just so he doesn't have to explain why he's got $20 worth of singles in his wallet. Married folk...
