Anyone have experience with this wine cooler or seller?
I'm in the market for a wine cooler... ASAP. Been checking craigslist and fleabay all the time, but to no real avail. However, I did find this little gem (or what I hope to be) for a rather nice price! Now, I know its not huge, but I have about a $200 limit in all (that's most likely INCLUDING Chasi-drawers) unfortunately.
This is the fleabay auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWAX:IT I like that the controls are all up front, and the seller has a decent feedback rating, but I don't wanna shell out $110 for a POS. I'd love an 18 or even 28 bottle model, but I realistically can't find one around the $100-120 range, and with drawers, this one really has quite a large capacity. probably around the 400 count range, and that's a realistically sized cigar count So, I'd be grateful for everyone's input! Thanks so much! ........... Also, in the meantime I'm also putting up a WTB thread about a vino or wine coolidor.

Never heard of the brand nor the seller. But the seller has 99%+ positive feedback so he can't be all that bad. As for the brand no idea. But it looks good to me. I would take some other feedback from other members first tho.

Too small IMHO. You are better off getting a 48qt cooler from WalMart. By the time you add 3-4 drawers at $30/ea, you are well over $200 and you still need beads. If you are worried about temps just freeze everything for 3-4 days then put them in the cooler. Most domestic distributors already freeze their cigars at the factory or after they enter the country.

Really and truly, I'd like something nice-looking and fancy as well as functional, and the artist in me almost detests the thought of coolers. I know, I know, terrible and impractical thinking, and certainly a little snobby, but I can't get past it. For me, large capacity means either cabinet, wineador or walk-in

Yeah, quite a bit. There's barely any for a reasonable price, and they're always too far away from me (we're talking 100 mi here)

Cost too high. I got a 34 bottle off of Craigs list for $60.00
Also keep watching dept stores, scratch and dent section. Have seen some good deals that way. Here in Orlando, there is a store that all they sell is scratch and dent. Could not hurt to look. |

Re: Anyone have experience with this wine cooler or seller?
To be completely honest with you, I've been and still am in the world of temporary solutions. Here's a pennies worth. Go with the impratical and inconvenient igloo for now. Throw some sticks you wanna age at the bottom.
Save up some extra dough. And when your budget triples go for what you really want. An upgrade to an upgrade to am upgrade just costs more and more and more. There's no rush here except the need for a temp storage solution. Go cheap now so you can do it right later.
