DAE blow $310 on a used chest freezer that turned into a mold science project?
Bought a used chest freezer off a guy in Fresno for $310 cash, thinking I was gonna meal prep like a real adult and stop ordering out 5 nights a week. Got it home, plugged it in, and the thing ran loud but fine, so I filled it with 40 pounds of chicken and ground beef from Costco on my next trip. Two months later I open it and half the meat is fuzzy green because the seal was shot and I never checked it. Now I'm out the $310, the meat money, and the Sunday I spent scrubbing bleach water out of every corner. Did any of you actually test a used freezer before handing over cash, or do you just eat the loss like I did?
