BWL... I'm with you. There are lots of places to buy a good one second hand for a third or less of the price of new. Next time, that's what I will do.

Art... as for Sears, I will NEVER do business with them again. Oddly enough, it was because of a fridge... my fridge, stove, washer, dryer were to be delivered when I moved into a new house in 1984... they didn't arrive on the appointed day and when I called I was told the reason was that the fridge was not in stock and when it got to the warehouse it would cost me $80 more. I told them to deliver ASAP, went out and bought elsewhere and when Sears arrived the VERY NEXT DAY I told them I didn't know anything about it... they showed me the contract which had the delivery date on it and I said, "Oh... yeah... I signed THAT contract but you broke it." The Lounsbury's truck showed up at that moment and I asked them to get their truck out of my driveway.

I REALLY hate Sears. Still, to this day. Over only $80. I have given Lounsbury's over $20k of my business since that ATTEMPTED $80 shaft.
