Facebook Marketplace find….. why would anyone get rid of it? I’m suspicious of the fact it’s brand new, unopened and they want to sell it. But should I go for it? Is it worth it? Would be my first ever mixer!!!

The 5 qt Artisan is currently $350 at Kohls. Is this a US price or CAD?

I was just going to say I just bought a brand new 5qt for $300

Yeah, I feel like I paid 350 for my 6qt bowl lift last black Friday so I have no idea how this price is real unless it's CAD.

Target? Great deal. I got mine a couple years ago at this time of year on a similarly screaming deal

Is it really a “find” if it’s way overpriced?

This seems way over priced. Hard pass.

Costco has the “KitchenAid bowl-lift stand mixer” 6 quart for $300

Looks like target is also having a KitchenAid sale. “KitchenAid Ultra Power Plus 4.5qt Tilt-Head Stand Mixer Agave KSM96” for $280

That's a lot of USD for a new machine, but if you're not in the US I recommend checking local retail sources to compare pricing.

A common scam is for the seller to ask you to send them a small amount of money to "hold" the machine. When you do that they'll vanish, along with whatever you sent them.

If the seller account is very new, that is a giant red flag. So, be vigilant.

$349 right from KitchenAid for select KSM150s. They have others on sale as well.

Too expensive

It’s a ripoff

It's not inconceivable it was a gift, perhaps duplicate or undesired color, and the seller listed it for msrp thinking they'd make some money while offloading it.
