Hi,
We have an old GE drop in 27 inch stove that needs to be replaced.
After doing the preliminary research, we found the following: The new
27 inch one costs $1100. However, a 30 inch drop in is around $640 or
a 30 inch free standing is around $350. We are looking for a cheap one
as we will leave this place in a few years. To get that extra 3 inch,
we need to hire carpenter. Carpentry work is more for free standing
than for drop in. For free standing, the extra electrical work is
needed for box and pigtail.
Thanks for your suggestions.

What's wrong with your current unit?
Would it pay to have it repaired? Have
you gone to Scratch and Dent Stores
(Sears Outlet comes to mind), but almost
all appliance stores have Scratch and
Dents (and/or discontinued stock) for
substantial discounts. Another option is
Freecycle.org, Craigslist or even eBay.
I would also suggest fatwallet.com

I've seen a lot of beautiful drop in stoves that the store just
wanted to get rid of. Home Depot and BrandSmart seem to do this when
they change out their product line. About the $100 range, so to speak.
Often less.

I've never seen them this cheap in the
stores. I have seen a lot of
discontinued items that seem to fall
below some magical price point donated
to a Habitat for Humanity re-use store

It's been a while since I've gone looking, perhaps a year, but they
were turning up everywhere. It's possible the improved home improvement
market has run the prices back up, I haven't been looking. It's also
possible the market here, is different.
But as you have put it, they are a widespread commodity, the stand
alone, much less so.
So, to the OP, go look around!
