fridge receipt

when i moved into my most recent apartment, i had to do something i'd never done before. i had to buy a fridge. it was a strange and daunting task. i don't know what to look for in a fridge. so i did what any responsible adult would do. i went on craigslist and found a guy who had like 8 beat up fridges in his mom's garage. my friend adam and i went and looked at them. he seemed to be assigning them prices randomly when we'd ask about each.
"how about this one?" i'd say.
"that one?" he'd say, "uhhhhhh, 450."
then he'd leave the room and scream at his mother in what i think must've been israeli for a minute or two, then come back.
"you need dining table?" he'd ask.
"nah, we're good. how much is this fridge?"
"that one? uhhhhh, 600."
it was funny. once we chose one and gave him some money, he wrote me a very official receipt. he even gave us a one month guarantee.
