... and now the pic. Note the many layers of price tags ... this one was sitting for over 2 months!

I guess many folks got scared by the loose trim piece (a couple screws missing) and that the knobs were gone. Lets not mind that being a Whirlpool, the shaft is standard sizing and replacement knobs can be easily bought.

Still need to get a 240V line installed (new circuit = not going to DIY this one) to actually make use of it, however.

Man, what a deal! Welcome back, Narf!

Cart full of Balk engineered flooring - about 30 good usable pieces worth - for $5.

I left the other cart, though ... didn't need that much.

I'm currently redecorating my place while i'm on break from school, being a broke design student most of my stuff has come from the clearance section this past week i've found:

- 2 pax 35x50x236cm frames in bch/bir effect for 12 $CAD ea
- doors for the pax units 15 $CAD each
- 6 KOMPLEMENT shoe racks for the pax frames 25 cents each, went to another location and got the sixth for 50 cents after talking to one of the as-is fellows
- 4 ikea billy/byom doors 10 $CAD each
- 2 besta/tombo doors 5$ CAD each, one had hardware included
- 1 KVARTAL curtain panel system that included, hooks, mounting hardware and two sheer white panels it was about 3 metres long, 4$ CAD
- 3 jaringe worklamps for 8 $CAD, about $50 originally? I can't find on the website anymore
- 1 billy/nyckelby door for $25
- components for a akurum high cabinet (<200 cm) that i'm modding for use in the bedroom totaling $20 once i got all the pieces i needed
- bag of misc akurum legs 12 in total for $10 CAD
- Cyril computer armoire for 89 $CAD, i had been stalking this piece each time i went in to visit, i saw it go down from $155 to $145 then to $89, the original price is $299 CAD. It was a display unit that was priced so low because of a wobbly base, when one of the associates helped me load it onto the cart he saw that it was "wobbly" because one of the screws was loose, other than that it was mint ^_^
- 2 stolmen posts with hardware 10 $CAD each
- 1 stolmen chest of drawers, white, 50x55 cm 45 $CAD
- 3 MIEN storage containers for 1$ each
and just the other day i found the components of the short, wide billy bookcase in white for a total of 10 $CAD
- I bought two bags of misc hardware pieces that basically had all the latches and hinges i need for my loose wood pieces, doors and then some for 5 $ CAD each.

I can't resist a good deal, lol

Admited defeat (x2) and got a 22cu.ft. stainless fridge for $490 incl. delivery.

Guess I'm gonna have to get that 240V line in for the oven if I want matching finishes on the appliances again. Well that, and redoing the counter run for a cooktop instead of the current gap for a stove.

Or perhaps I should just give up and live with the appliance finish mismatch ... again.

talking about people not able to read docs, and returning stuff in perfect condition, there's a PAX drawer at my local ikea with the back and front reversed (have to add a pic to that one. so funky)

[Narf]

Been suffering withdrawls ... Covina was closed the past two days (Tues. due to the earthquake but not sure why on Wed.)
Net result is that I haven't bought anything ... in 3 days!

Last purchase was down in San Diego ... $5 for a spare Kalsebo door and a Sorbo cover panel that I'm not sure what to do with it yet, but it was cheap enough, so.

holy crap! what a ton of good finds!!!
i always end up buying random stuff like that from the consho, pa as-is section. even if i have no use for them. heck when they're like 80% cheaper than the usual price, they can afford to sit in the garage/basement until i find a place for them!

it's just so hard to pass up a good deal
