Another Classified Tale

Okay, so about a month or so ago, Jeremiah and I decided we were very tired of doing dishes. With a family of five, they accumulate so fast and it seemed to take the whole evening to wash them. So, Melissa tells us about a portable dishwasher they had in a previous house. It sounded awesome, you can keep it anywhere in the kitchen and when you want to wash dishes you just roll it over to the sink, connect the hose to the faucet, and turn it on. It even has a butcherblock top to use as counterspace. Well, we decided this is what we wanted so we shopped around. Of course I faithfully checked the classified everyday for weeks. Finally, just yesterday, we ordered a Maytag portable dishwasher to the tune of $430 (including tax and delivery) from ABC Warehouse.

Imagine my total dismay this morning when I read this in the classified: Portable Maytag dishwasher, very good condition, $125.

So, I called and it was still available. Than Jeremiah called and cancelled our order. And that, ladies and gentleman, is how we saved $300 in the nick of time.
