Used BBQ grills in Minneapolis typically sell for $54 to $335. Barbecues sell in a narrow window and almost entirely on how clean the cooking surface looks — and the gas bottle is a separate problem you need to plan for.
Selling a BBQ grill in Minneapolis
Minneapolis has severe winters, a great many lakes and a cycling culture that persists through both. Winter clothing, skis and paddle craft all have deep local markets, and the seasonal swing here is sharper than almost anywhere else.
Winter is a genuine constraint on moving anything large for several months, and prices reflect it. The lakes and river shape the road network, so the route matters more than the distance.
On anything stored in an unheated garage, check seals, glue joints and batteries. Winters here are severe enough that a season of storage does more damage than a year of use.
Minneapolis, in Minnesota, has around 430,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Saint Paul, New York and Los Angeles are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Minneapolis
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
What BBQ grills are worth
What lifts the price
- Stainless steel and cast iron construction
- Burners with no rust-through and even flame
What pulls it down
- Rusted-through burners and fireboxes
- Missing regulator and hose on gas models
Working out what yours is worth
- Light it and check every burner lights evenly
- Lift the grates and inspect the burners for rust holes
Getting it ready
- Clean the grates and the inside of the lid properly. Burnt-on grease is the single reason a usable barbecue reads as scrap.
- On gas models, check the burners for rust-through and the igniter for a spark, and inspect the hose and regulator for perishing.

Collection. Never transport a barbecue with a connected gas cylinder — disconnect it first, and if the buyer is taking a bottle, it travels upright and secured, in a ventilated space, never a sealed boot.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Does it come apart to move?
Check the trolley fixings. Most gas barbecues will not fit in a car assembled, and this decides whether they bring a van.
