Looking to buy a large (i.e. residential kitchen) refrigerator. Ideally, I'm looking for a top-freezer setup, yet I will consider a side-by-side unit for the right price. Should be able to make things cold and do so without problems, however it doesn't have to do anything else. I don't need an icemaker but will still look at models with icemakers. Should be fairly small, somewhere between 14-18 cubic feet, and fairly priced. I'm planning to put this in a Residential Life housing unit, therefore it needs to be thin in at least one dimension.

Anybody got me covered? E-mail me at bagvwf@umr.edu if you've got something!

Bump.

If you don't have a fridge, maybe I'll just take a cold one.

try to get ahold of an ad tracker. that'll probably be your closest helper. i think they're released every thursday and you can find them at grocery stores and gas stations.

Thanks.

After much thinking and looking (There's a 17.8 cu.ft GE top-freezer fridge at Lowe's on clearance, was like $400, it's now $250..sweet deal for a new one), I've perty much decided I'm not gonna do what I was intending to use it for.

So somebody else can take the idea. I was going to put a pop fridge in my room, and advertise and sell soda for 25 cents a can. (Even with Coke and Mountain Dew, you can profit...buy at Wal-Mart or perhaps a Big Lots or something.) That and maybe sell some homemade baked goods on the side, real cheap. Do something that would get a LOT of people in and out of my room, provide a unique service, and give UMR's Pepsi machine franchise a run for its money.

There. Take the idea and run with it.

my roommate did it last semester. he pretty much supplied our hall with soda for a quarter a can...it was marginally profitable for him, but it was a lot cheaper for everyone else. We just had an extra fridge underneath of our regulation one.

How strict are most RAs on the fridge-size issue?

I won't be...I won't push it...for crying out loud, I was trying to break it myself!

go for it....just don't flaunt it. I almost ran the quarter a can business if it weren't for some other considerations. I would have, even if it only would have paid for just mine. You'd just have to consider prices. There was one day where the price of cans jumped a dollar fifty in wal mart.

You should sell a $1.25 2-liter bottle business which would kill all those $1 20oz soda machines. I'm assuming those are in the dorms since they're all over campus. I'm also assuming one of the main reasons to go to Wal-mart is to get soda. Gets rid of the trip.

I don't know the exact dimensions of our larger fridge last semester but it was probably about 2'x2'X3.5'...it was considerably larger than the stack fridge/freezer combos that you can get at Lowe's or Wal-Mart, but it also drew a lot less power. A large pizza box fit in there with room on the sides. Anyways, my RA didn't care about it at all, and I think that even the RD at the QUAD knew about it. They used my room for tours all the time so I guess they didn't mind it at all...
