Ok, so this will show my total lack of real world knowledge, but I had a thought, so here goes:
I have read so many posts on here about controlling fermentation temperatures etc, and how a fridge/freezer with an STC1000 (or similar) is ideal.
I am lucky enough to have a second fridge and a chest freezer to use as my fermenting fridge and keezer. (Yet to put them both into action though).
When I recently bought a new fridge from Joyce Mayne and collected it from the storage warehouse, there were at least 50 fridges/freezers of all sizes, shapes and potentially working ability, sitting out in the weather. I presume this is from their free removal policy when they deliver a new unit. I presume this would also be the case with Harvey Norman, The Good Guys etc etc.
As they seem to be just ready to go on a junk pile, could it be worth showing up with a slab on the shoulder and having a word with the warehouse guys?
I'm fully aware there could be ramifications if they "sold" faulty second hand units that burnt the house down and accept there are legalities. On the other hand, however, there is no guarantee that the same won't happen from a 2nd hand unit purchased off gumtree.
A long post for a little point, I know, but if somebody can get a cheap fridge, local pickup, choice of size, etc, they've got to be on a winner. (Maybe the sparky that wires up their STC-1000 could give it a once over at the same time).
