Yeah, basically....I will look at reviews, 'ho's', commentary on a whole range of items, if only to help make a yay/nay on a plethora of this 'n that....
Case in point...
Spouse 'n self in a Costco on Sat., saw an LG washer posted at what seemed strangely low for what it was.
GF commented on Fri. we need a new one...(finally...🙄) old one is 20+ yrs., works, but is noisy about it...
Looked into it Sat. night....$1.2K retail, but they only appeared to have the one.
Chatted her up Sun. AM, ran down the road 1hr. at flank speed for 10AM open.
Still on floor, but price card down and moved to one side...with another, still in packaging, no box....
Inquire: Still for sale @ price? Yes, one of 2 only.
Bought packaged one for 600$, 52% of retail.
Opened one was a display, 2nd leftover stock.
Worth the 3 hr. r/t for a front load stacker we'd normally say 'ummm No'
Well reviewed....'other peoples' humble opins'.... with a doubled warranty.
Food, places, audio....more or less what you or the others have or had a dog in...;)
Long winded ( or many fingered keys ) later....
Beats best guess....right? ;)
