Gas dryers are more basic than the electric models and there is less that can go wrong with them. A new one will cost about $500, so this could be a good buy at $100.

who refurbished it and how long ago? Look for a used appliance dealer that will give you some kind of basic warranty

probably work for a couple of years, minimum...make him deliver it and install it for an extra 30 bucks....or go on craigslist....ALso, pay fifteen bucks per month to your electric provider to cover 5 appliances...another 10 and you get replacement

No, you should not.

Someone on some area classifieds online is selling a used gas dryer. It is "refurbished" and the man (who appears to have been in the military by his photo) said that the house he and his wife moved into uses electric not gas for a dryer. Our new home will use gas, so we need it. He is only charging $100. We bought a used, compact, 110V dryer from a man years ago (not the same man obviously) and it started making the lights blink on and off and he ripped us off and ran with our money. Should we buy this one?
