Do you have any specs on the pit? Size, how old. Any info would help us weigh in.

If its yours, then $50.00 bucks for it. And i ll go pick it up.
Just so it wont bother you to see it everyday at your house,

[El Gato]

HONESTLY!!! i would not know how to price them,

[smokinwelder]

lol, well it is mine, im just trying to establish what its worth so i can be fair when i decide to sell it. I need to move out, and every little bit helps. thanks, let me know guys, lol...

As far as pricing, generally you want your cost of materials, labour and time to be 15-30% of the retail price. I know some times I forget to factor in time when I'm making something for someone food wise. Example would be ($350 on materials + 45 hours of work at $8.50/hr)/ 15%. (350+340)/.15= $4,600. Of course other things would factor in like quality of workmanship, quality of steel and the market. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

AWW!!!!! now i am learnin this part!! about charging!

Just like most other things, it's worth whatever you can get for it. It appears to be a 250 gallon tank? No warming box, single axle utility trailer, I would think you could advertise it for $2500.00 and find a buyer.
Just my 2 cents

Definitely! That's price of materials ($375)/.15. Basic cost control formula for a baseline for a mark up. Still a great affordable price & you make a nice profit.

[greenespice84]

Or $750/.30. The main thing is to never set your price to low. I use to think that 50/50 was great! Did some fund raisers, went to school, found out I was horribly low balling myself.

[smokinwelder]

ok, well i posted it up on craigslist for $2600 obo. hope i get some bites soon. that would be nice. thanks for the advice guys.

[Clover Ridge Smokers]

Good luck with the sales process. Make sure to let us know how it goes.

[smokinwelder]

Well so far no calls. I wonder if I'm asking too much at $2600. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Advice is appreciated.

this is true my friend.....a bit ambitious also...lol. living with your parents with your wife and kids will do that to you. Trying to add to the savings. I allready have a nitch to build a better smoker. This stuff is sure addicting. I just need to know I can sell the one I have before I invest in another build. Thanks for comming by the thread dcman.

MAN, I feel for you brother. You are in a tight spot. I would hold the price for a little while yet to see what happens. Where are you advertising it?

im down here in west palm florida. im guessin before the 4th of July would have been a better "adverstising" time, but it wasnt finished yet! Anyway, im ganna give it a coupe weeks before I think of dropping price. The way I see it is I have about $800-$1000 invested, and 1 gazillion "my free time" hours invested. Its time to let her go, and build another. I really enjoy building these "tanks".

[smokinwelder]

Well I had a buyer for my smoker, so I thought. Craigslist guy out of state wanted to send me a company check with shipping cost included. He wanted me to deposit the check, then send shipping money to "shipper", him, and then I would have been responsible for the money gone once the check was discovered fraudulent. The bank verified the check as a fraudulent check. id like to this guy. What a coward. Its amazing people cant follow the . I am not too suprised as he didnt talk me down any, and put the money up front. He fedexed it overnight...lol. If it seems too good to be true..... oh, well, lesson learned. And still have the smoker, .

Was gonna check out your add for your smoker, couldn't find it. Make sure you haven't made typos on your listing, folks wont see your add when they are surfing the net shopping.

I type in bbq smoker and it comes up. I have it in south fl, orlando, ft myers, and treasure coast...http://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/for/3920393930.html

I checked the contact number, and its correct. imo my price is in range compared to others prices.

[Rodcrafter]

I looked at your add SW, it looks fine. I know that sometimes like on the web "keywords" are a big deal as far as people finding items. When I looked at your add I wondered if you could use a phase like "hog cooker" because that cooker is set up just right for that and it being in south Florida. It looks like it is priced to sell to me. I think the buyer just hasn't seen it yet, hold on a bit it will be fine.

Looks like you have a more than fair price. Still not sure why I couldn't pull it up originally, maybe I was the one having typos!
