thanks. I grabbed this. I'm still undecided, but I can always return it at the store and since I paid $0 for shipping, I'm good. I only need cooling for a couple months in the summer. I have 35 pieces of cedar, so if I can make my own drawers, it could fly. I jsut can't see spending a lot on drawers, since this isn't a "big" hobby for me.

There, I fixed that for you.

[kydsid]

Must resist.

[Joseywales]

You're KILLING me! I can't afford another hobby!!!!

I have about 3 boxes, then maybe another 50 or so. Although there are a few others I'm after, I'm not sure I'll ever get past 5 boxes. DOes it make sense to keep this wine cooler?

I think that you'll be hard pressed to find inmates that will not encourage you in your slipperly slope slide. :ss

Missed this! Darn!

[CigarNut]

Missed this! Darn!
Costco has the Vinotemp 34-TS (http://www.vinotemp.com/View.aspx/3557/34-Bottle-Touchscreen-Wine-Cooler) 34 bottle cooler on sale for $199 -- in store only.

I don't believe that this model is thermoelectric, but seems to be a great deal.

[CigarNut]

BTW, I am not trying to push the Vino -- just what looks to be another good deal.

[Joseywales]

I think the Vino would work for someone who doesn't need the cooling. Which begs the question, why are they buying a vino? Maybe they just the like concept and tight seal. If this Vino has compressor cooling, I'd stay away, becuase of the condensation issues. Plus, if you read reviews of wine coolers, they have a life expectancy of 2 years or less. My guess, and it's only a guess, is that most wine coolers are compressor units. Hopefully, the new thermo-electrics, like the Avanti above, will last longer.

(Curious about the storage capacity)

[Joseywales]

Yeah, mine should be here on Friday. I had trouble logging in to Target.com on the 21st. Their password renewal wasn't working correctly. I completed the sale on the 22nd and they credited me $15 toward the $38.88. A few minutes after I completed the sale, a cucstomer survey came to me and I politely explained that I was still out almost $24 in shipping, since their system wouldn't provide me a password. They credited to me the balance.

Thumbs up for Target!

[Joseywales]

Holy crap! My wife texted me to stay she almost ran over my Avanti in our driveway!! I ordered it on the 22nd!! Make that two thumbs up for Target! Whew! Good thing I bought here an LCD for the kitchen...uh...today..

[bonjing]

just a heads up, the sale is still on, no free shipping, but you get an additional 10% off.

Thanks for the info Greg and Joe. I'm thinking about it but I plugged it into my cart and the final price with shipping and tax would be $200.25 for me. That's not bad but possibly more than my budget will allow. Who knows though? Maybe, just maybe...

[Joseywales]

FWIW, I'm in PA and bought this unit. It's great, but I haven't even plugged it in yet. I bought a Pompeii a week before you posted this ad and I grabbed the AVANTI, jut in case the Pompeii didn't work out.

Anyway, I'm offering it up for exactly what I paid, $169.59, but of course, you need to pick it up. I posted this in the classifieds as well. I have the box, manual, etc. If it doesn't sell by Friday, I'll just run it back to Target on Saturday for a full refund. Just thought I'd offer it up to a PA friend who might have missed the deadline.

Waiting on beads and ChasDen drawer / shelves.

DEFINITELY will put up pics when it gets all set up. :tu

Chasden's drawers will fit into these? I was wondering about that since the outside dimensions are slightly different even though they're both 28 counts.

He is having to make a few modifications, but he feels confident after providing measurements and pictures that he can do it. :tu

[bonjing]

heads up fellas, sale is still on and free shipping again

[BradNC]

I've always wanted to set one of these up but now that it is an option, my trigger finger is stuck. My humidor (a small desktop) has helped keep my purchases in check. Hmmmmmm.

Don't worry once it is filled your purchases will be in check once again. :r

That sounds expensive. I better stay away then. :ss

[Vigiles]

I'm ordering one. I was bidding on a desktop on the devil's site, but the bid went to $100 and its a 250 count. So for basically 60 or 70 more I'll have this vino.

Promotion? How did you get that? I was thinking of using my AAA card for a 10% discount. Is that what you did?

I pm'ed him the same thing but anything over $100 for appliances is 10% off I saw. The good news is, I am all out of room and I mean totally and the wife actually is going to allow me to get another!...and offered to pay for it!

I just pulled the trigger on it. Once I placed it in my cart it mentioned the 10% discount. For anyone with a AAA card I think you can that discount with online Target orders too. What a sweet deal.

Congrats on the new Avanti from the wife brother! :tu

I know.:( This will help out though. I already have two boxes and two bundles in route with a box sitting on top of my 18 bottle vino. With the 12 bottle it'll be like a little vino family!

Darn it! I should've taken my own advice! It would've saved me an additional $16!:bh

Just ordered it with the 10% additional AAA discount. Not a bad price!

I ordered one of those yesterday, says it was shipped today. Hope to see it this week.

Nice. I get Chase reward points but I think it'll be a while before I get anything free.
