If you love to bake, your ideal best friend is probably a KitchenAid mixer. This nifty appliance, after all, can mix batter, dough, and icing with a click of a button. It’s especially useful if you need to bake a cake as soon as possible, because if we’re being honest, some celebrations don’t feel complete without a cake or two. However, considering KitchenAid mixers aren’t exactly cheap, it’s easy to become fixated on scoring a used one for a better price. But is it possible for someone to take things too far? According to a text message conversation shared by Reddit user Zavarakatranemi, it most certainly is.
Zavarakatranemi was looking to sell their KitchenAid mixer and was contacted by a potential customer. So far, so good — right? Not quite. For starters, the person first contacted Zavarakatranemi at 4 a.m. When they didn’t receive an immediate response, they quickly followed up with multiple angry messages.
To make things even more confusing, the potential customer claimed that someone named Andrew — the brother of Zavarakatranemi — said they can have the mixer. But here’s the catch: Zavarakatranemi doesn’t have a brother named Andrew.
Additionally, when Zavarakatranemi refused to lower the price, the person said, “Are you going to let my family starve to save $100?!” Apparently, the person promised their kid a cake, and the mixer was needed ASAP.

Unsurprisingly, fellow Reddit users had a few thoughts:
Many were quick to point out that mixing by hand works perfectly fine, too.
In fact, it might be even better!
But hey, when you love to bake, KitchenAid mixers should be taken seriously.
Here’s to hoping the KitchenAid mixer found a new home — and that person’s kid got their cake.
