Favorite Scratch & Dent/Used Appliance store?

Hi all and thanks in advance for your help!  I try to put stainless appliances in my rehabs but typically don't buy new - below are the two stores for scratch & dent appliances I've purchased from, but would love recommendations for other stores to explore and that you've had a good experience with!  I see so many when driving around throughout Chicago but am not sure on which ones are worth considering.

-Mike's Furniture & Appliances - Wicker Pk (across the street from Lowe's): large store, great selection for basic models, not as much for higher-end models.  For reference, ~$350 for a stainless 30" width top-freezer fridge.  Open to negotiation if buying 3-4 appliances at a time.  Lots of staff, free next day delivery with professional staff.  30-day guarantee with free repairs if anything goes wrong with the appliance within that time period.

-L&L Appliance Mart - Humboldt/Wicker Pk area on North Ave.: more of a mom/pop operation, more willing to negotiate on prices than Mike's, sometimes will have very high end models for not that much more than basic stainless, less professional when it comes to delivery/scheduling.  More of a handshake agreement that the appliances will be operational, which in my experience they did honor when an oven stopped working in 3 weeks (they sent a repairman and replaced a part for free).
