So I was just looking at some pellet grills that are for sale at a locally owned retailer and happened to find a MAK 1 star for sale in their clearance items.   How long ago did MAK stop selling through retail locations?   I'm wondering how old it is and if it's worth making them a lower offer than what they are asking?  I don't really need a new pellet grill, but everyone raves about the MAK so I thought I might be able to score a really nice pellet grill for a good price.  Any and all information and opinions are welcome.

I wanna say 2-3 years ago, but that is a guess.  I have no idea.  Get a serial# and calling the company and asking would be the best action.

They are asking $1100 for it.   I'm guessing that it's absolutely worth that, but then I would likely need to spend money to buy the flame zone insert and other add-ons from MAK.   I was thinking I could offer them 800-900 and see if they bite.

The older one stars had a smaller capacity too. I think your offer is fair

Any idea what the total sq. in. of cooking space is?

YouTube vid from 2016 says 380 sq. in.

Wow!!  That is small.  Kind of disappointing.   I have a GMG Daniel Boone and was thinking it might be nice to upgrade to the Mak but I don't want to down size.  Maybe I just need to keep saving and buy something else.  Oh well.   Thanks to everyone who responded.

I believe you can buy upper racks for these to double the space.  I know I have them for my MAK 2 that is 8-10 years old.  I have the half rack ones.  I have two of them.  They give me more flexibility in utilizing them.  MAK doesn't have them on their site.  It may be worthwhile giving them a call to see if they still have some in stock before you give up on this.
