Dad who haggled over a washing machine stunned by incredible gesture after getting a note telling him to look inside
CHRIS Blaze was shocked by the sweet gesture from a Facebook seller when he enquired about buying a washing machine and tumble dryer.
The new dad found a second-hand washing machine and tumble dryer online and enquired asking if the seller would be able to reduce the price by $100.
Chris, who has recently welcomed his first child, only has $400 to work with and wanted to try and keep the price of his purchase down.
When Chris explained to the seller – a man named David – that he had just become a new father and money was tight and asked if the price could be reduced from $500 to $400, he was pleased when the seller agreed to give him the discount.
However, David decided to give back in an unexpected way, leaving new dad Chris in disbelief of his very kind gesture.
In a now-viral Facebook post, Chris explained that: “I just went to buy a Samsung washer and dryer from a guy and he was asking $500.
“I told him I just had a kid and if he could take $400 I’d be really grateful. I got home hooked everything up and everything worked great.
“I opened up the dryer to check the lint filter and I was shocked $400 was sitting in there.

“I got a message from him saying “check the dryer, a gift for the new baby.”
The new dad couldn’t get over the kindness of David and was exceedingly grateful.
He said: “Man words can not describe how grateful I am right now. I feel so blessed right now I felt I had to share, big shout out to the man David! Thank you so much!”
Chris has been absolutely overwhelmed with support on Facebook since sharing his post.
One user said: “Amazing story! That shows there are still kind people in the world. Thanks for sharing.”
Another said: “This world needs more people like that.”
