I am also open minded to looking at used appliances in good condition if anyone is selling them.
I can tell you from personal experience 9 months ago: I spent 2 weeks full-time chasing stuff on dubizzle. people who bought stuff very expensive, are selling them for 30% less (if clean - and if you are lucky enough to find their address before you give up on your life!). However, the price of steel went down considerably in the last year, making it possible to buy new with the price of old

I shopped at Geant - Battuta Mall - and I am very happy with my fridge and stove and tv. The best part was that I didn't have to provide delivery as I had to with Dubizzle ads. My LG fridge cost me 1850, electric ariston stove 1400, and 1800 for my lcd tv. These are not very fancy, but been working perfectly so far and still like new

Good luck!
