It occurred to me that I would have better luck with Answers! than I've had with my browser.?

Question

I don't suppose anyone within the Answers! community would know where I could aquire a reconditioned Bunn model B8 woodgrain coffee maker?
One of my closest friends recently lost his due to a power surge after an outage. The man is 75 years old, set in his ways and I suspect will likely be unable to figure out how to operate anything else without tremendous difficulty.
My own efforts to resolve this issue have ended with an e-mail to the Bunn corporation requesting a replacement thermostat, (this being the part which was damaged) but they have yet to respond.
My only recourse otherwise, taking into consideration his refusal to accept any help purchasing a new model, his limited income and that I have been informed his model has been discontinued is to attempt to find one which has been reconditioned.
It stands to reason that it would therefore be at a reduced price.
My own efforts thus far have been unsuccessful so any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Try e-bay maybe someone is selling one? Thrift stores? Or call the company and ask if you can buy one for him they send it and pretend it was free? Or sign him up for a coffee club you can get a free coffee maker if you order coffee just cancel the club when you get the coffee maker. Mine is so easy to use I can set it up the night before. My grandmother has one and uses it and she is 92!
