CP Opinion Request.....
What would your take on this be.....
CP User "<removed>" posted a "new" Microwave for sale here on CP.
<removed>
We traded e-mails and I agreed to buy it. Picked it up around the 17 of Jan. Went to his house an picked it up. He plugged it in to show operation but we didn't heat anything in it.
It sat in my house for a week or so till I got the necessary mounting hardware.
Finally getthe unit mounted and ready for usage. The first time my wife goes to use it...Zap....no worky at all.
Tray turns, everything appears to work except the heating part.
Contacted Seller and was basically told to try and switch it at Home depot for a new unit.
Asked him to try and request a reciept from Home Depot for purchase so I could fix it unere warranty and was told
"Im not going to spend half my day at work dealing with this"
I am now waiting a part to come in for repair and will be out another 150 -160 bux for repair by the time it is completed.
For that plus the original purchase price I could have bought new.
I do realize that there is a risk in buying a new "used" appliance but it shouldn't crater on first usage.
Should it ???
How would you guys handle this........
