    Whats a good Comet grill worth these days? I have 4, and they are all excellent condition (no cracks, no missing pegs), and I doubt I'll ever own a Comet that I'll use them on. Just thought I'd ask.

    Are any of them GT grilles?
    They bring a bit more money as I'm sure your aware of.

    As for a price, I was offered $75 for a plain comet grille a few years back.

    Practically worthless. As a gesture of goodwill I am prepared to take one off your hands, for free of course. Maybe I can make a birdfeeder for the kids or something...

    I was thinking, that since I'll be in the USA in a few weeks, I could always ship them out when I get there (or leave them at Franks house :) )....I might just toss them in the back of the pick-up, and anyone that can plead a good case, might just get one for the price of shipping. I don't really need the money, so I may just do that.....
