Let me first say I have been wanting a Keurig since they came out. I don't drink a lot of coffee but I do love tea and hot chocolate. I was so fascinated by a demonstration that I was given at a Macy's during Christmas. Anywho I went on Craigslist to find one since I am frugal and don't like paying full price for anything. It retails at $149 at Walmart http://www.walmart.com/ip/Keurig-B60-Special-Edition-Brewer-and-Choice-of-K-Cups-Beverage-Bundle/20693072.
Let me tell you I had my first bad experience on Craigslist. I saw an ad for a brand new Keurig for $50. Only paying 33% with no taxes seemed like a great win a savings of 67%. I met the lady and for some reason I should have known something was wrong. As soon as I opened the item upon getting it home it looked brand new. I should have known better when trying to plug it in I saw the cord was severely scorched to the core and the item didn't work.
I was so mad. I won't go into detail but I did file a police report. Having no receipt Walmart doesn't allow you to exchange. Luckily I have a friend who works at Walmart and since its really close to Christmas she heard my pleas and allowed me to exchange the item. So many people were exchanging and returning items she got her manager to allow me to get the same exact one but a working one. This one works and I have already registered it on Keurig.com.
Check any appliance prior to purchasing on Craigslist. Plug it in and make sure it works properly. Thanks to my friend Michelle who works at Walmart I enjoyed my first French Vanilla Coffee on my Keurig.
It came with 12 kcups non were hot chocolate :( oh well I have to buy those one my own.
Be frugal but be smart. Lesson learned.
