Some experiences just

August 5, 2000 by Michael Boyle

scream out to be written about. This afternoon was one of them. I needed a new washer and dryer, except that I don’t buy things like that new, I buy recycled, refurbished, or recovered versions. Whether it’s a latent anti-consumerism or just that I’m cheap I can’t say for sure. In any case – I checked a couple of places out in my neighbourhood before going to a store a friend had recommended: Ameublements Elvis. With a porcelain Elvis bust in the window, and posters everywhere – there was no question I was going to buy them there! So I got a completely refurbished set in excellent condition (it looks new) for $350. The cheapest models at the department stores here start at $1000. Economy and Elvis, with same-day delivery.
