Bought 3 anthracite Silgranite sinks off Craigslist. Each brand new and for less than half the normal retail price. Found my kitchen sink on my local (Austin) craigslist and the two prep sinks (one for the TV room and one for the butler's pantry) off the Atlanta craigslist. A friend in Atlanta actually went and made the purchase for me and then held the sink till I could get out to visit her and pick them up. I've discovered that if you are looking for a pretty specific item, it isn't necessary to individually search every city's craigslist. Instead, try googling craigslist plus terms describing what you want. So, for example, I googled "craigslist anthracite silgranit sink" one day and bam, there they were, newly posted in Atlanta. Of course, if you want to buy from a non-local craigslist, it helps to have friends scattered all over the US that you can talk into meeting the seller and checking the item out for you!

Hmm; I didn't see the Blanco message about authorized online retailers before I ordered. I bought our Silgranit super single (and a new faucet) from FaucetDirect.com, which is not an authorized Blanco retailer. Not sure I would have if I'd known -- the sink and faucet were the entirety of my 'reno'. But there were no problems. A good piece of advice from this forum: No matter who you buy from, or where, as soon as you're in possession of the sink inspect it thoroughly for cracks or damage (and document with photos if you find any). This is particularly important for those who, like me, buy the sink and faucet months before they're installed.

They are not cheap anywhere. I got mine from faucetdepot.com and I did get a discount. Call and ask them for thier best price and mention if you found it anywhere for less when you do. Sue

I bought my sink and soap dispenser from expressdecor.com. I bought the faucet locally from Ferguson's because they had it in stock and I wanted a very particular model. We looked and looked at all the local businesses carrying sinks and couldn't find one we wanted. Several online sources carried the Krauss sink we wanted, so we went with best price. We hired the plumber through a local plumbing outfit to do two very specific jobs: change out the old under-sink connectors to the newer kind and hook up the sink and DW, and install a gas line to the fireplace (different guy, different day). We didn't buy through the plumbing store, just called up and asked for a plumber. We've done this over the years for small jobs like this and couldn't be more pleased with each of the plumbers that have been sent. In no way did hiring their plumbers obligate us to buy the goods from their store.
