Enmore Bizzare Bargains

I was walking past here when I had just recently moved down the street and saw a front loader washing machine for $ 340
And my washing machine hadn’t made the move due to my cat having one of his pixie chasing moments and totally breaking the lid and anything else plastic inside it.
So back to my point, I decided that the cat would have a hard time breaking the lid of a front loader so went in and advised that I would be interested in the machine and what kind of deal he could do for me.
The lovely gentleman inside instantly said that I could have it for $ 300 — and voila it was mine. It was even delivered for free and installed by the delivery guy! It works wonderfully well and I’m really happy with it. And my cat can’t figure it out, which is a bonus.
The only reason they didn’t get 5 stars is because there is no facility to accept cards. Cash only. And I went on a walk to find an ATM.

I had a nice enough experience buying a used refrigerator and washing machine here a year ago (for $ 500), but my opinion of this business has totally changed after trying to sell both appliances back to them.
When I bought the appliances, the man who sold them to me told me he’d be happy to buy them when we moved out (in less than a year) and come pick them up from us. So a few weeks before we were moving out, we called to set up an appointment and find out how much he would be willing to pay for them. He said it was too early, and to call back a few days before we were leaving. This gave me a bad feeling from the start, but I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. We called a little less than a week before moving and set up a time for him to come over.
I assumed he would be taking the appliances with him, so we’d cleared out the fridge and had everything ready to go. All he did was take pictures though, and say he’d call us back tomorrow after he talked to his «partner.» Well, we didn’t hear from him by early afternoon the next day, and we were moving out the following day, so we called him. We had to ring a number of times before finally getting ahold of him. He said he’d give us $ 80 for both the fridge and washer. We’d paid him $ 500 for the pair, and they were actually in better condition than when we bought them because we had removed a lot of black scuff marks and had both repaired.
We knew he’d be selling them for at least $ 500 all over again, and all he would offer us is $ 80. I think at least twice that would be a fair offer. I felt completely ripped off, and as if he was taking advantage of our situation (since we were moving, he knew we’d have few options). He led us on, postponed looking at the appliances so we’d be in a bind, and offered an insulting price. Offering to pay us 15% of what we paid him (and he can likely resell them for all over again) seems awfully unfair. Don’t be fooled by this guy’s friendliness — he’s only after your money.
