my electric slide in unit has a warning light that went on just after the warranty was over. Cost to fix over $300.??

I have a booklet that I prepared. I can email it to you at your request. Simply email me. The oak grain can be filled with a grain filler. BM has that. I happen to like the painted oak grain. It's preference, of course. If you're going to go black, alkyd (oil) is the only practical solution. I never recommend oils unles it's black. BM Impervo is available in black. girlwithaspirin did an amazing job on her cabinets..in black. Michael

justgotabeme - still glad I posted - lots to read through and consider, though I certainly didn't mean to start a debate over haggling vs. no haggling! itltrot - thank you for the advice. Oddly enough, I contacted someone on CL to buy something today, and told her she could consider it sold if it was as described/pictured. I then asked for her address and a good day/time to pick up. She responded she would not tell me her address until I gave her my home phone #, which I did. About 30 mins later I got an email back from her that she wasn't going to send me her address b/c no one answered at the number I gave her (I told her no one would answer until later in the day, but I could check messages remotely & respond to her via email). She then wanted my last name and said she was going to look me up on Facebook & LinkedIn, and that if I "checked out" she would send me a number I could call to get her address. Either - wow - or I'm too laid back for my own good! :) ratherbesewing (and others who mentioned consignment) -- I would, really. But there is only one consignment place around me that sells things other than baby/kids gear & clothes, and they are in the process of going out of business. :( And by "near me" I mean that I know of, within about a 50 mile radius (have also checked online, phone book, and word-of-mouth -- nothing so far). I've lost a bunch of weight over the last few years and have (not joking) over 20 55g bags full of clothes (I know, because we moved last year, and guess what I had to lug up from the basement). Plan to go consigment all the way! hollysprings - "...ordinary riff-raff?" Wow, I'm not sure if there's venom there, or sarcasm, or what. For now I'll assume the latter. sweeby - good tip on the holding things. I've "held" things and lost buyers many times, so I was reticent go that route again. Holding for a set time, so I can firmly tell back-up "after X time" seems like a reasonable alternative. mclarke and others -- ebay for loocal pickup would be OK. I really don't have time for doing all items w/ shipping as an option. I hadn't even thought of that. I've sold on ebay, always to be shipped, to so I tend to have that association. arcy - I would probably price a bit above tax deduction. ;) Totally get the concept of economic value, tho. I talked my dad into helping me. He loves to haggle as much as I abhor it. I can't even understand that. I figure I will price items, then go inside & let him handle it. :) On a side note, a girlfriend of mine had a garage sale this weekend and caught 4 people trying to "shoplift" her things. Wowzer! One lady tried to pay for one shirt, but was holding it awkwardly. Ends up she had wrapped the shirt around a crystal vase, which she had stuffed full of baby clothes. My friend first noticed it was taking the lady both arms to carry a button up shirt... Another guy tried to walk out of her garage sale wearing an MP3 player she was selling, then argued with her that it was his (her initials were Sharpied onto the bottom of the case).

The stated warranty terms in the user guide I found online is 1 year from the purchase date so your coverage is Nov X, 2016 through Nov (X-1), 2017 .... unless your written warranty terms state otherwise or Frigidaire confirms an exception (and I'd insist they provide written documentation of the exception *and* direct you to a servicer who'll do the job).
