You know how you sometimes have these great moments where the Missus comes home (or even better sends you a message) saying "What about this as a deal for _______ that you've been looking at?"
Well, I had one of those days today... We've been looking at fridges, and she decided that there was money in the kitty to get a fridge; this was spurred by seeing a deal in the Autobarn cattledog for a Waeco CFX35 with stand, cover and wifi doofa for $929.
Had a look online, as BCF match prices, and I don't like our local Autobarn, off to BCF we went, with me knowing how much I wanted to pay for things.
Had a look at the fridges, ummed and ah'd a bit and went to head out, but got drawn to the fridge by the door for $999.
Got the old esky out the car to compare sizes; the fridge was a bit taller, but footprint wise almost identical.
Manager was standing by the till and said "If you're looking at that, I'll do another $100 off."
OK, so that's a CFX65 for $899... how much for a cover? Not got any in stock, so I'll order one... and that'll be $50.
So it's the ex-shop floor one, never been powered up, brand new cables (NFI where the original ones were, so a new pair came off the shelf) with full warranty for $949 compared to a retail price of $1549 for the fridge and $160 for the cover...
I'm happy, and having cleaned it up with some cleaning spray it's now as good as new and sitting outside dropping down to nice and cold - been on for 30minutes and is now sitting at 3* after starting at 21*.
