WTF...they are super exepensive on Craigslist, nothing less than $175.00 in my area.

Fail!

Just keep looking! It took a few weeks for us to find our chest freezer at a really good price. Ended up finding one on CL at a Pawn Shop about a mile away for super cheap

i agree. just keep checking. maybe check newpaper adds in your area. do you have a local salvation army or good will in your area?

By the way...

I'm not trying to get off topic. Just a small question after I addressed the freezer situation.

I'm sure if someone else asked there wouldn't be a problem.

I was thinking about just buying a new one, it might be more energy efficient that way?

Just depends on how fast you want one. You might find the right one tomorrow... or it might be 3 months

If you can afford a new one and want it now, go for it! :wink:

I was having the same problem, but I waited it out a little longer, and got a STEAL of a deal. Energy star full size, auto defrost standup for $80 on CL. It took some patience. Months of patience, actually. I bought a smaller chest freezer new in the meantime.

Look for "MUST GO TODAY" posts, a lot of times when people are moving and can't take it with them, they're a lot more willing to negotiate price and get what they can for it.

I STRONGLY advise going only auto defrost. Manual is a pain in the butt.

Here's a pretty darn cheap freezer I found on craigslist in your area. Not a real big one, but I guess it depends on how far in advance you plan on stocking it.

Small FREEZER

Good point!

Auto defrost vs Manual.

After finding out the auto defrost mode creates freezer burn. I prefer manual freezers, if stand alone.

Auto defrost would freeze, thaw, freeze, thaw...the ice cubes out of the ice tray.
