What would you say is a "good deal" for a window air conditiong unit meant for a poor college student?

Question

I'm looking or a quiet, unobtrusive unit or my small dorm room. It can be used, slightly dented, or missing a remote, but it has to work like a charm and be quiet to boot.

Before I start bidding crazily on ebay, however, I want to know which prices should make me jump for the "bid" button, and which ones are probably too good to be true.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Brand new tiny 1 room ones are only about $90.00.some even have a remote.

Answer 2

I wouldn't go anymore than 20 dollars. You can check iwanna.com in your area and see what they have. The bad thing about bidding on ebay is the shipping, and those things are HEAVY! Also look in your local paper want ads so that way if it's close by u could pick it up. Air units are very easy to find because most ppl will use them a while then go to central air when they get their bank account straight. And you will if you're in college, some day you will have plenty, admire u for going to school!!! I am still going and am 52. Hope this helps a little. Take a lot of cold showers until u get one, ha..........
