Need   a   “new   to   you”   appliance   at   a   bargain   price?   The   Bargain   Box   on   Walnut   Avenue   in   Alderson   may have   what   you   need.   Randolph   “Joe”   Baker   has   used   washers,   dryers,   refrigerators,   and   electric   stoves   at bargain prices. This   new   business   takes   in   appliances,   cleans   them,   and   repairs   them   if   needed.   If   the   appliance   cannot be   repaired,   usable   parts   are   removed   and   the   rest   is   donated   the   the   ROTC   program   at   Greenbrier   East High    School.    Washers    usually    sell    for    around    $200;    dryers    for    $150;    electric    stoves    for    $150;    and refrigerators   for   $275. A   $25   discount   is   given   if   an   old   appliance   is   traded   in. All   appliances   are   given   a   30 day warranty. If they stop running during that time they will be repaired or replaced. Baker   said,   “A   lot   of   people   cannot   afford   to   buy   new   so   this   shop   meets   a   need.”   Lonnie   Spencer   is   his able assistant in the business. Mayor   Travis   Copenhaver   said,   “These   guys   are   keeping   usable   appliances   out   of   the   land   fill   and   helping people who might not be able to buy something new. It works for everyone.” Usually   open   from   9-4,   Monday-Friday,   the   Bargain   Box   can   be   reached   at   304-992-9809   or   304-667- 1947.
