You're welcome, glad to know that it's interesting for someone.......for some pieces they're a bit too expensive for my taste but for those frigidaires and wringers price is okay considering they're reconditioned, do not know if in the NY state there must be a guarantee provided for recondiotioned appliances, here they should have 24 months as for the news.....just curious also to know the dryers and stuff at price 0.00 how much really cost...... All the appliances they sell looks in good shape and no need of any works or restore tho.

Wringer Washing Machines
Many nearly new and or in excellent condition can be had all over the United States, many at give away prices because owner's just want them gone.
Sometimes sellers of vintage wringer washers *think* they have gold, which depending upon the model and condition they might. In which case asking >$200 USD isn't out of the question. Simply search Craigslist or eBay and you'll find more wringers that you can beat with a stick. | ||

@Laundres
Yeah I know this but often the wringers for "give away price" even if in good estetic shape are untested or sold "as is" wich translated would mean not working or having some issues....
often miss something or rollers are broken, seals leaking etc.... You can find the "big deal" but it comes difficult to be at right place at the right time.... Then this place give me the impression of a place where you can negotiate the price..... Overpricing: Yep! Sometimes i cannot help but think to make a HUGE laugh at people stating a 60s 70s wringer as a 1920 model or thinking of having gold as you say, same thing is for all other vtg appliances they sell, I've seen rusty steam irons and percolators with auctions starting from 80$ and showed like rarities when actually many of them even in better shape are around and not that rare.... They also sell parts and possible matching dryers.... This post was last edited 01/12/2012 at 18:00 | ||

@Laundress You're right!!!! Didn't watched very wel
Oh well, I just looked better at the description of the wringers, you're right on ebay or craiglist you can find better, one is leaking and other not sure if working OMG!
Didn't read this and looking better at picture the lid is full of cracks....well, this remain good just for the frigidaires, the brown ones I love their controls!!! In fact watching generally they say many of them needs a repair, do not understand why they claim to sell reconditioned appliances! However: Looks they've other that didn't linked in their website....would be nice to make a visist though! This post was last edited 01/12/2012 at 17:56 | ||

Did Not Browse Through Entire Listings
But it seems the shop aquires appliances, marks them up and sells them on. By the look of some of the stock barely a wipe with a damp rag is enough to call them "reconditioned". Suppose if one does not wish to spend time and petrol running here there and yonder the place might be of use. OTHO if one has use of a decent truck/van and proper equipment one can probably find better choices for less money.

@KenmoreGuy89
Outside of the Amish community and perhaps a few others (including collectors of vintage appliances such as ourselves) wringer washing machines hold little value with the average USA public.
Women who remember using them and or perhaps their mother's or grandmother's machines usually have no love lost for wringer washers. | ||

 This is Hans Hansen's warehouse. See Thread # 30162. This guy deserves our business; he's a collector of monitor top refrigerators but has extended his scope to lots of other vintage appliances and some parts. Looks like his son, Hans Jr. has helped him set up a website. Huge warehouse. | ||

They've a toll free number anyway, if one is looking for something specific and it's far or does not want to spend gas can ask them making a call W/out spending money.....if I had it near me I would organize a visit anyway...just to see....would be a lucky day how not, I would just start without too many expectations.....
And then when a dream machine you've looked for years comes, you would do everything to grab it as already said, (funds and conditions allowing). | ||

It's a pretty amazing place, alright! PhilR and I are planning a trip back there (Phil got a nifty 1-18 washer/dryer set and I got a Monkey Wards top-load impeller-wash dishwasher last year) - I need some GE range parts and the Hansens have thousands of NOS parts.
Definitely worth a trip if you can make it!! | ||

Wow what a paradise!
Well looks like it definitely has been revealed being a paradise!
Actually it is a warehouse kept how they can as it is HUGE! So it is a familiar owned place and think it have a quite a nice and lovely story, they should adevertise better the treasures they've on their website! At first just thought they were a shop specialized in repairs and reconditioning, then watching better a kind of scrapper who sell broken vtg and "still working" appliances, anyway would have been worth the trip if you were around just to take a look, personally just for those Jet action frigidaires with the window lid would have been worth it, they would never miss if have a collection.... let's hope someday! But such a place, never thought! They should explain more on their website about what they're and do. They've really rare parts on sale also! Who is that make reparations there? Guess for some models they just prefer let restorations and repairs to someone more technical and skilled about them. That's a lovely place, if I come to NY next year I will have a visit for sure!

Am I Nutz, are You Nutz? $200 for an "unknown" Lady K, or $750 for that Whirlpool. Sorry folks, sounds like a little collector gouging to me. I'm not against spending money on a machine, anyone can spend anything on a machine I suppose, but what are you getting for your money? For me, and I have discovered that I am in a shocking minority, the fun is getting into the machine and taking it back to what it once was. I'm not a purist necessarily, I think machines have flaws and it's nice to overcome little things here and there to make the machine more viable. But usually machines that need love can be obtained at a reasonable price <$100 IMO. That may vary by location around the country. Charging that much for some of these machines makes us a bunch look like schmuks. I fear eventually, that like any other collecting interest, old appliances will go up considerably and we will see more gouging like this. If the machine is "unknown" and you don't have someone with parts and skill to fix it then that $200 machine is worth $15 scrap minus space to house it, so that I can't understand. You could cut the price in half and still make a good profit and be more likely to move it. If these were restorations it would be different, but from curbside to $200, sorry that is a rip-off most of the time. Clearly I'm in the wrong line of work...
As for the $750 WP, I think it's steep. There are only a couple of people that I would trust to do a restoration that would warrant anywhere near that money. After seeing the work that John Lefever does, I can say I that he is one of those people that I could spend that kind of money with and feel like I got my money's worth. Even with the smaller things I am amazed at how much work is put into what would seem like to most "quick" jobs. Might seem like a bump for John, but if I was going to give someone my money for restoration, I'd much rather it be John than this guy. So anyone looking for a quality restored machine, check him out.

I've talked to Hans III, he seemed very nice.
They've in the appliance sales and repair business for something like 60+ years. I think some of the prices are sorta high, but keeping all that old stuff warehoused for years isn't free. Paul here seems to think they are good folks, and I too intend to visit this Spring, I go right through Queensbury at least 15 x a year on the way to our Champlain place in VT, so I just have to make sure at least one of them is w/o the wife LOL ;-)

Yes of course I agree that some pieces are a little too high as I've already said, especially that Whirlpool, do not know what they mean for reconditioned a brand new motor? Never used replacing pieces? They could justify it's price, would be nice to know what's their standard for reconditioned and know a bit more of that machine..... it's also true that as some said keeping that stuff for years is not free and I'm sure that he stayed high on the listings as then you could negotiate the price or get some discount once there face to face.....
Same thing is for the "unknown" you must also consider that maybe he got them from other places and there're shipping costs also he had for transportations. About costs would be nice to hear the opinion of who already went there....... Of course if I think of having good chanche to find another one for less elsewhere I would not buy a washer there, this depends by model to model and situation by situation.... | ||
