Scratch & Dent World

You have all seen the commerical...Lady in orange w/the knee brace..well, DH and I just bought a new fridge for $547, retailed for $1500, (Whirlpool, side by side) still had wrapping on it and one minor dent on the side bottom. (who cares, that part is up against the wall) Our current fridge was an old Kenmore.  They had tons of appliances in great condition if you are in the  market.  Some Great, GREAT condition Washer/Dryers. And it came w/a warrenty!  I am telling you..go check it out if you need an appliance!!

  • That lady is so annoying! That is a great deal, good for you!
  • We just got our appliances, we looked at appliance direct..but got a GE french door/bottom freezer for 1,800 instead of 2,600 because it had a scratch on the side. We forgot to go check there.
  • From what i understand, scratch and dent world is part of appliance direct-- its a big tent outside the altamonte AD and they get truckloads of appliances at least daily. my friend just got an above the range microwave there.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I've heard both good and bad things about Scratch & Dent World and Applicance Direct (both stores are owned by the same people, the lady with the knee brace is married to the asian AD guy)

    I've heard people say that if the appliance isn't in a box to be careful because the insides may have been messed with. 

  • They are the same, but S&D has even more markdowns.  Everything was under warranty. Don't get me wrong, there were items there that looked like they fell off the truck, but you can also find a good deal!  Our fridge was all sealed up w/styrofoam still in the inside.  Just wanted to share the experience!

    Haha, those 2 are actually married?  My husband wondered that last weekend and I said no way.  Guess its true.  Do you think the lady "Lee" with the kneebrace wears a wig?  Her hair is just so bad.

    One of the funniest Halloween costumes I ever saw were three ladies that dressed up as that couple and their daughter. They had all the details right--the kneebrace, even the ugly plaid dress. It was hilarious.

  • Diane I would have paid money to see that in person!!!  LOL!  Too funny.
  • I am more than ready for the gosh-awful scratch n dent world radio ads to stop.  they make me want to pull my hair out!

    <if you have a pick up truck you are the man, take it home today> ... aahhhhhh!!!!!

  • I don't think they are married.  I think they were from the seperate businesses and they merged the businesses together.

    The asian family lives in Satellite Beach.  The daughter goes to Satellite High School (or has since graduated) and plays volleyball.  I saw her dad at games a lot, and he was with another asian woman.  Never saw the brace lady at a game.

  • DH and I love to make fun of those commercials.  I feel like the Asian guy is doing what some really rude people do when they're talking to a mentally challenged person - as in over-annunciating and speaking really slowly and intentionally.

     

    "AT SCRATCH AND DENT WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

     That's so funny. It always seemed like they were a family on the ads. That reminds me of the Toyota "couple." They're not married either, and the dog, Mr. Toyota, doesn't belong to either of them. LOL
     

  • The Toyota "couple". They don't even live here. I know they fly him down -- he does ads for various car companies across the Southeast. I can't remember where she is from.
