It's 8 pm. It was 40 something degrees this morning. Now it's 8 and dropping. The wind gusts, predicted in the 40 - 50 range, are kickin' our arse. The house and windows on the western exposure are snappin, cracklin, and poppin.

That way you get the old one. It is cheaper to have the old one running with beer in the shop than it is to have it hauled away. It has worked for me 3 times now. Actually it is more about the beer fridge dying and needing replacement than the rest. The first approach not only keeps you in a better class of beer fridge, but you wife will think you are such a nice man, always buying her new appliances.
