Grill Star and Barrel - W113
« on: June 15, 2015, 16:23:08 »
Seems every now and then the issue of getting a replacement grill star arises...the current prices are discussed, and while there is some debate the price rises again.

I had the occasion to meet with Tom Hanson of the Classic Center over the weekend at StarTech...the W113 grill star and barrel have gone into the NLA category. I asked what was the price of the last one sold, and it was in the $2,000 range.

Makes that $600 one look mighty attractive today...

$2,000 for an item that should cost no more than $100 to produce ...

I just bought a new grill since mine had a couple tiny dings.  I paid about $4,000 for a complete OEM grill.
