And what's up with this: "If you are new to ebay and have zero feedback, please contact us before bidding on any item over $100.00 to verify your interest." If they are so arrogant as to dictate terms to me, the customer, well...I'd buy an Amananananatag from the 90's and enjoy its musical charms before I'd give them a penny. |

The washer looks like it was squeezed by a fork lift a tad too tight. i would certainly think twice about buying it. I think the only thing it might be good for is parts. Plus I agree with La Laundress...they are nuts! |

Because from what I've heard here on the site, Miele is the #1 washer brand in the UK. I've never seen one here in the US but I have heard they are sold here. |

I bought a Roper/Whirlpool direct-drive washer at Lowes once that had a badly damaged cabinet & frame for $77. The motor was worth more than what I paid for the whole machine and I harvested many parts to use in rebuilding used machines for resale. I'll bet someone is buying this Miele for the parts and selling them for full retail to customers needing their Miele washer repaired - or lots of customers.... Ethical? Maybe not, but it sure would be a fine example of shrewd business sense. |
