So I just ordered a nice little bread machine from Amazon.com, which showed up today. Looked great, but upon closer inspection it looks...slightly used. Fingerprints and smears on the outside brushed aluminum, some minor nicks, what looks like water spots on the inside. Overall in nearly perfect condition...but slightly used. I feel cheated. If I wanted a used machine, I would have bought a used machine. What kind of junk is Amazon pulling here? I'm debating whether or not it's worth the hassle to send it back. What do you think?

it's easy enough to send back. Amazon will issue a postage paid label for you to print off and they'll ship a new machine out to you even before they get this one back.

i'd send it back with them knowing i was disappointed at getting a "used" model at a "new" price.

I know it's not hard, it's just annoying. I wanted a bread maker and I bought a bread maker, and I got a used machine. Now I have to ship it back and wait for a new one :p

Best source of breadmakers is your local thrift shop.

They go for about $1.50 here.

Haha nice :thumbsup: I bought this one specifically for the gluten-free setting though, which only seems to be on newer models.

Parallel :(

Actually yeah :D But not as good as my Rice Cooker I got from Newegg...the cable rolls up into the machine when you're done! :Q
