Yeah, it's pretty good. Always counter on craigslist, though. You can probably get him down to 80. The kit and 2 carboys alone are probably worth about that much.
thanks for the input. i'll counter to him and see what he says
my main problem is that i dont bottle. i plan on getting this deal from him, if i can get him to 80, depending on our drop off/pick up location. i am sure someone on here will take these bottles off my hands. or maybe i'll start bottling so i can take my brew on the road
I'd take it, personally. Of course, I would try to talk him down a bit first. No point missing an opportunity to turn a great deal into an amazing deal.
well...he lives like 45 min away. i am going to ask him where he wants to meet, and go from there, and if i have to drive all the way to him i'll try to drop him down, but if he comes closer to me i'll just give him the $100
I had seen that before - asked him if he'd take less than $100 if he kept some of the stuff I didn't want - and he never answered back. I asked him twice.
I think he's one of those types who feels insulted if someone offers less than his stated price. Just saying.
What exactly is he selling? It looks like mostly bottles. I see one bottle tree, one bucket, one carboy and a few plastic things. If you don't bottle, and don't need those (and those PET bottles are great to have, if you do bottle), then it's not a very good deal for you. Unless there is more there than I didn't see, I'd pass on the deal.
Two carboys, a bottle tree, some misc. junk and a bunch of bottles. Looked like a bucket might have been included plus some uknown age ingredient kit for a Raspberry Wheat...
If someone was JUST starting out & had nothing it would be a good deal, but for anyone who is already brewing, it's just someone else's junk.
thats what i'm thinking. he might just want rid of the stuff, unless i am disposing of some chemicals for him. i'll let my buddies try his brew to see what happens.
he still hasnt replied to me. i hope i didnt offend him by trying to get a lower price
