Would you buy a refrigerator online?

if the shiping was free i would,

 

If it was cheap enough, and a good brand name, I'd be stupid not to.

Uh, yes, you can sell such appliances online. It's all in how you present it, and making sure the price is low enough to do so.

 

If i am in the market for white goods say a fridge or cooker,what i normally do is try to find the model that i like in a store so i can get a feel of what it looks like and size etc and then write the price down and then go back home and then do a search for the product on the net but i will then only deal with big well know websites or sites that i feel that i can trust.This i done just before christmas in buying a cooker and a oven and after adding on shipping costs i was still about $125 better off so the answer is yes i will always buy from the net.

And buying a refrigerator on line is a 'cool' way to buy one

 

No, I would never buy a refrigerator online.

 

I think that it would end up in the store. For me, there are very few name brand appliance stores around here. I would go to the website of a major appliance store and probably have them ship it.

 

Just checked out the completed listings at ebay. There were quite a bit listed but most didn't sell. The listing fees must be killing them, but there were quite a few listed so it kinda makes you wonder.

Anyway thanks for the feedback

 

I wouldnt want to buy an item online and than find out that it doesn't fit, its better to see it in the store so you can get a good look at it and measure it

 

customers unless they know ahead of time what they want usually like to see in person a big ticket item

 

No, shipping alone would be way to much of a hassle. You could still market it online though assuming the transaction/pickup still took place in store and in real life.

 

Great post there. To summarize your post and the topic post about fridges, this is what I would say : Go for high value products if you choose to, but don't venture into one where there are a lot of publicly known brand names.

For a products like Solar systems where there is little education to the common guy about the kind of names to choose, you always expect him to do a lot of research online., and if there is someone he can establish a contact, you make a sale. Not so with a refrigerator.
