20 Gallon AG Set-up and 14.5 Conical For Sale

[mjdonnelly68]

Interested in the lot. PM sent.

$350 shipped? Are you serious...

these things are like $700-$800 new bro, $350 is an insult.

 

[crazyirishman34]

I thought that we had a deal for the lot. He didn't answer me back with shipping cost.

I was offering to go grab it with the other person that wants the kettles... No response from either the OP or that person. I'd still be willing to do that, if the stuff isn't all gone. So no shipping costs (pitching in on fuel burned would be greatly appreciated though ).

That was exactly my point! And he wanted it for $350 shipped!!!

 

[Robg773]

I was originally scheduled to get the conical with another person wanting the kettles before hurricane sandy. I still want the conical if someone wants to get in on the kettles. I'm in philly so let me know. I'm ready as I was a month ago.

 

[crazyirishman34]

I had worked out a price with the OP via PM and he did not respond with the shipping. I think that either he sold it locally or changed his mind.

It would really help to know either way. Going a full week with people posting and sending messages without any response is just poor form.

The whole lot was $1400 & he's asking for almost half that so asking almost half for the conical is a good starting point for negotiations.

No its just a dick move.

Would you do the same thing for a house, or car?? Someone's selling a house for 200k, are you going to offer 100k first? They'll not only laugh at you (IF the realtor submits the offer) but will probably not even look at any additional offers you make. You're looking at getting a car that cost 60k new, blue book value has it at 50k, are you going to offer 25k? Unless it's "hot" I seriously doubt you'll get much 'negotiations' to happen that way.

No its just a dick move.

100% agree there.

I dunno, half of retail for a used hobby product (and at the fanatical end of that hobby so less potential customers) seems reasonable to me...

Blichmann hardware doesn't depreciate like other things do. I sold my 10 gallon BoilerMaker (had it for at least 1-1/2 years, put a decent number of batches through it) and was able to get about 80% of what they currently sell for. Granted a conical has more spots for things to hide, so you need to clean/sanitize it a bit more, but still... Thinking someone won't be insulted by a 50% value offer is just wrong.

$300 shipped....

A bit harsh I'd say. The offer might be rediculous, even laughable but at worst it just deserves to be ignored. We're not talking about some Snidely Whiplash villain cheating old folks and orphans out of thier property, just a guy making a lowball bid on a classified site. Feather it out a bit.

 

[crazyirishman34]

Who cares the OP isn't responding.

 

[Golddiggie]

Who cares the OP isn't responding.

Which sucks and is poor form is he's not incapacitated in some fashion.

 

[mjdonnelly68]

Well, that escalated quickly...

In his defense, the OP has been responding to me by email. He indicated that email was best as he is not on HBT very often.

Lets all lighten up - it's Christmas for Christ's sake!

Well, Hell, don't you think you're so smart and cute? Feck off NOOB!

Hey, sudbuster. Thanks for the immediate PM. I'm not sure what I did to draw such hatred but it was not meant to offend anybody. Thanks for the warm welcome.

 

[crazyirishman34]

I have never heard the term NOOB used in the brewing world. I did get some GIBS in my wort one time LOL

Really, didn't see that posted anywhere in this thread... No mention of emailing him with requests/offers/etc... I did see about sending a PM, but didn't see if mentioned that it is/was the 'best way' to reach him. As good as we are, we're not psychic here. Psychotic, most likely, but not psychic.

I still have the offer to help transport the hardware back to MA/NH if someone wants the kettles.

Don't forget he wanted a big bulky heavy item shipped for that price.

Hater....

Would you offer to sell you 200k house for 100k because ghats what this guy did...

Anyone who's ever sold a house knows that sort of thing happens. You often get low ball offers. So you say no. And then.... well that's it really, you say no. Don't see what the big deal is.

 

[Pickettj]

And here I thought I was on HBT. I must have stumbled in to a realtors forum... Ha!

 

[Johnnyhitch1]

To the OP, (as long as you still use this site)

When are you guys opening up!? been waching and reading for the past couple months, glad to see another brewery opening on long island!!

Cheers!

 

[bulletproof]

So... is any of this equipment still available?
