We bought a Kenmore Elite bottom freezer refrigerator last year. Last week it died. Sears finally came out and it's a bad compressor and PCB. $700 to fix it (only compressor still covered under the 5 year warranty-labor and computer parts are killers) or should we just get rid of it and buy a new one? Advice and suggestions welcome.
If you are looking to sell a working refrigerator with little to no problems, please leave a comment on what you are selling, the condition of it, and how much you are asking. I will want to see pictures as well once I talk to you. I live off of 1604 and Culebra. Thanks!
Hey guys, I'm helping to sell restaurant equipment, such as:
The equipment is used (about five years old) and has been well cared for, so they're all in great working condition. If you know of any businesses or people who may be interested, please feel free to message me for details. Or, if you know of a better forum/place to sell such things, please let me know!
tl;dr selling used commercial equipment - if you have any ideas on the best medium for these types of sales, please let me know!

My best bud is getting married first weekend in June and we need a place to host the bachelor party. It's just going to be at most 8 of us.
We want to find a place out in the country where we can just get away to drink beer and eat too much red meat for a weekend. We have found a place that looks to be perfect, but the owners have yet to respond to our inquiries after almost two weeks.
Things we need are a roof over our heads, beds to sleep in, a refrigerator, and a shower with hot water.
Optional things would be tv, and a smoking pit.
A friend of mine has informed me that the school her daughter attends is in need of a new refrigerator for the teacher's lounge. They are seeking to replace their currently dying full-size with something similar.
There are a group of people trying to help out an individual that is homeless. He has a job and is trying to get back on his feet. You can read more about it here:
I know we are all strapped for cash after the holiday season, but if anyone could help, no amount is too small. Even if you can't help, prayers would be appreciated. (and for the record, I am not the person who started the gofundme page, I am just trying to spread the word). If you are able to help, maybe you can put the donation is from "reddit anonymous" so it can show how much reddit helped out.
I copied additional information from the link above:
"Homeless"...that has such a stigma attached to it, doesn't it? When you hear that term, what images pop in your mind?
How many times do you see a "homeless" person and think, why doesn't he/she just get a job? That image you have in your head, doesn't represent everyone. It definitely doesn't represent those who are temporarily in that position and trying to get out of it.
Sometimes the homeless are people who are trying everything they can and simply can't get out of the situation without a little bit of help from those who can.
I happen to know someone who is homeless, with no car, and walks 3 hours to get to work, works all day, and for only $200 a paycheck.
He isn't worthless, he just had a bad start in life. His mother was a prostitute and he never knew his real father. That is how he started life and it didn't get much easier.
He is a father and his child support takes so much of his paycheck, he literally can't live on it. But instead of giving up, he continues to work and pay for his kids first while he sleeps outside. (Or couches, from time to time)
His own kids can't even come spend the night with him because he has no-where for them to stay. I remember thinking "wow, this guy is trying so hard it takes him 3 hours to get to work, and he still can't get ahead." He still gets off work and tries to huddle up somewhere to get out of the cold. Tonight, he was going to have to find somewhere to sleep in the cold and the rain.
Me and my wife found a hotel near him and paid for 2 nights. I then started asking a few people that know him and how big his heart is, and every one of them pitched in until we were able to pay for 10 nights.
When I told him what we did, this is what he said. "Ya'll are amazing...ya'll touched my deeply with this and I'm teared up with emotions....I didn't think anyone cared that much....I appreciate it more than words can explain. I am truly blessed to have you and them in my life. I love each and every one of ya'll."
This got me thinking, what if we could give him a 6 month jump on life. What if I could raise enough money to pay for 6 months rent near his job. He would be able to save enough to get a car and he would have enough of a head start to actually get his life on track.
What good are we as a society if we don't TRULY help those who are trying to help themselves? I always hear people say they want help and they either don't know how or where to, and I figure if I'm going to help, I should start in my own community.
I don't know what to expect from this. He didn't ask me to do this so I don't want to mention his name or upload his picture until I can surprise him with it and then get his permission. I would love to be able to upload a picture of him in his new apartment.
I would like to stock it with enough stuff that it's livable and his children can spend the night with their dad. Here is what I'm planning.
$4200 would pay for 6 months of rent at $700 a month $900 for 6 months of electricity at $150/month $2000 for some start- up furniture, bed and silver-ware $400 to stock his refrigerator and pantry once
