I want my mixer before Thanksgiving, b/c some of the recipes I have it would be muy convenient for.It's $299. Amazon lists for $269. With a BBB coupon I could get it for $240. I'm aghast at spending this much money for a kitchen tool, even though I would use it, I truly believe. I best offered EBay seller $200. $200 sits with me better. The Ebay seller just countered me with $230, free S&H.Yes? No? Counter the counter?

new mixer or refurbished?

Cant_wait! · October 2009

hmmm. Is it new? I'd spend the extra few bucks for a BBB one. That one's safer and you can return it easily if there's a problem.

you can use the one that was H's grandma's and living in my hall closet

For $10 get the one from BBB.

VarunaTT · October 2009

New. 99.8% rating on seller, close to 5000 sales.I won't have to pay tax though, so BBB is around 255 with tax.

hmonkey · October 2009

i change my mind. for $55, get the new one from bbb with a return policy.

rouhas · October 2009

I'd go for the BBB option just in case something happens and you need to return/exchange it.

**O-Face** · October 2009

I'd ebay it.

jojobrn · October 2009

I would likely go with the new one.I would honestly be concerned about something going wrong with the one off of Ebay and having issues getting it returned, money back, etc.At least with BBB, you are dealing with a national chain, a little easier with issues.

I'd go with the BBB option

Future Mrs Butterworth · October 2009

Wait, what kind of S&H? Where is the seller? How long would S&H cost?

Future Mrs Butterworth · October 2009

How long would it take, I mean.

VarunaTT · October 2009

4-9 business days, free shipping and handling. So, it'd be $230 flat.Logically, I know it's just $15 separating. But it's $15 on TOP of $230.Oh also, BBB doesn't carry the color I want. I forgot about that. It's why I'm hesitating about BBB more than anything. I'm a kitchen beebee.

Cant_wait! · October 2009

ah, but BBB will special order any color...

6fsn · October 2009

Special order from BBB and have it shipped free to your home.

VarunaTT · October 2009

They don't have the other color options listed online, CW, so do I have to go into the store for that?

6fsn · October 2009

I meant ask the store if they'll give you free shipping. You never know they might. It seems like a lot of money, but really you're going to have this thing for at least 15 years. That's a dollar a year. Not even a penny a day. It's worth it.

Cant_wait! · October 2009

I'm not sure, just last time I was in there looking at attachments there was a book attached to the mixer that said "we'll special order in any color." I already have one, so I didn't look any further than that

VarunaTT · October 2009

See, when I look at the Kitchenaid mixers available in different colors, they have an option to choose another color. When I look at the Cuisinart I want, they even say in the description that it's chrome and no options to choose another color. The one I looked at in the store, was even that color. I don't think they carry the black one.Grr. I need to ask DH first anyway. We agreed to do the $200 and take it from there.

Cant_wait! · October 2009

oh, mybag. I see mixer and automatically think Kitchenaid. I was talking about thier Kitchenaids. Sorry!

VarunaTT · October 2009

Yeah, that's what I figured. I want the Cuisinart, b/c it has nearly triple the motor wattage for the same price as the Kitchenaid. It also has additional features and takes care of some problems the Kitchenaid users complains about.

V, if it makes you feel better, my KA was over $400 on sale. $230 is a steal for those small ones - though you may want to check WalMart if you're really cheap, because I've seen them under $200.

hmonkey · October 2009

call bbb and ask.

VarunaTT · October 2009

I don't think I'd use the bigger ones, BMom. I think the 5 quart will be plenty large for me, it's just DH and I and it'll be mostly for bread and cooking, rather than dessert making.IDK if it makes me feel better or not! ;)I just need to sh!te or get off the pot at this point.

baconsmom · October 2009

Ignore me, I just read the Cuisinart post.

6fsn · October 2009

I went searching for other places to buy the mixer and darn it if I don't want this now. http://www4.jcpenney.com/jcp/X6.aspx?ItemTyp=G&itemID=17901b3&GrpTyp=PRD&ShowMenu=T&ShopBy=0&SearchString=cuisinart+mixer&RefPage=SearchDepartment.aspx&s4PageSize=99&CmCatId=searchresults&Search1Prod=True
