Quest For Cool

I need to procure an air conditioner for the living room before my mom comes to visit in August (I'm giving her my air conditioned room). Before I go hunting on Craigslist, I thought I'd ask my neighbors if anyone has a functioning window AC they want to unload. I can give you $50 for it if you can deliver it. (I don't drive.)

I have a spare A/C. It's old and currently dusty in my basement but it worked great for me, even cooling a pretty big space. $25 if you come pick it up? I'll clean it up for you.

I mean, old not as in "from the 50's" but it's not programmable and has twisty knobs instead of the more modern buttons.

Damn, no car? I'll deliver for the same price if you don't mind if I don't go to great lengths cleaning it?

Also, I just realized that I probably know you - I know beowabbit. No wonder your username looked familiar.

Okay, see, I would have recognized that user icon! :-)

Cool - I might have some time this weekend to deliver the unit, or maybe next weekend? Is that soon enough? Also, you can email me at livejournal to set up actual details. :-)

You know somebody with a car, though — in fact, he’ll be at your apartment with his car on Sunday morning. Just sayin’.

Get a new one?

This frigidaire unit (http://www.amazon.com/Frigidaire-FAA055P7A-Conditioner-Electronic-Controls/dp/B0009T6ACO) has free shipping from amazon and it's 11 EER, which makes it very efficient- old AC units burn lots of power, so it's often a good idea to just get a new one.
