Embarked a trip to Oregon to hunt for a “hard to find” Bosch Dishwasher at Washington

– There was no ideal dishwasher within our budgetĀ in Washington – only found out Sears outlet at Portland and Best Buy at Beaverton has it…

– Wondered for 1 hour during midnight to attempt or not and decided to check it out by going there: risk was returnning without any gains after hours of driving back and forth.

– Extra cost: $50-$60 Fuel+carĀ mileage dep.Ā plus some time and effort to drive for round trip for unknown results. (but my time is cheap). Also this means I have to haul-away the old one by myself since it is outside of “delivery & pickup”range. Also, I cannot get installation service or need to hire someone to get installed. (Thank you youtube!!…)

– Savings: $250 from buying an open box- though it has little dent, about $100 for “forced” DIY Installation – becauseĀ of the reaon stated above, also aroundĀ some savingsĀ for sales tax (Thank you state of Oregon!)

Extra gain is seeing/bypassing Nike’sĀ HQ.. šŸ™‚ hearing quite dishwasher runningĀ after 7 hours of round trip driving and 1 hour of uninstall & install DIYĀ – priceless..
