I TRIED TO PURCHASE #3 -- THE RR-4....
on EBAY, when first listed. It had a Best Offer, and she would only take
$10 less than the asking price. Not too good of a "Best" to me. Shipping was listed at $64. I really want this RR, but I have a budget, so I cant' go crazy. She let the listing expire, and relisted w/o out shipping. I emailed and asked if you would consider shipping as originally listed. She took forever to respond and just said "I am not prepared to ship". \ Just what is needed.....another "Seller" who is really a "GAMEPLAYER". What a waste!! Best washes all, Louis | ||

Louis, it's probably for the best. At 80+ lbs the only way these survive shipping is if they're wrapped and strapped on a half-pallet. Otherwise, even a short drop would do serious internal damage, not to mention screw with door alignment. Your casual ebay seller usually doesn't have a clue and is looking to cash in on this RR craze with the $20 Goodwill find they brought home. -C

"$20 Goodwill find" ? Last time I saw one at goodwill it was $5 and covered in grease.
But these were quite the thing, back in the day. I think these were like the crème de le crème in microwaves, even gaining a mention in the movie "Airplane", but that looks like a JCPenny microwave in the movie. CLICK HERE TO GO TO delaneymeegan's LINK

THANK YOU ALL, FOR YOUR INFO & ADVICE....
Yes, its a shame that the Craigslist sellers mentality has
pervaded the EBAY sellers mentality. These gameplayers, or seller wannabe's, are so frustrating. I've just really wanted one of these RR's, since a contemporary one will not go with my house. My friend had one shipped from WA to NJ, and they did a great job with the packing, and it arrived in perfect shape. I have never seen one out and about in any vintage, thrift, or Habitat, etc., stores. It's almost as if these were not sold this side of the country / LOL. Thanks again for weighing in. I guess I'll just keep my search open and on-going. Hope you all are having a Great Week:) Best washes, Louis | ||

Considering how some sellers pack things for shipping
You probably are best off with them not bothering. Shoving a vintage Amana microwave into any box found on the street with a few crumpled bits of paper won't do.
When one *REALLY* wants something not on eBay best thing to do is see if seller will accept PayPal or other means of payment. Then contact U-Ship or C&F and see what is to be done about shipping. C&F may cost an arm and leg but you have better chances with them of things being packed/shipped properly. | ||

THANK YOU FOR THE ADVICE......
John & Laundress,
Yes the 80's Technology is much improved over the 1st Generation, however in keeping with my decor, the 1st Gen would be a much better fit. And, seeing as how I've never had a microwave and would use it infrequently, if I did, the 1st Gen would suit me fine. Your point, regarding shipping, is valid Laundress, and something I would consider. However, my friend did purchase one that was shipped across the country; packed correctly, it suffered no damage. Thanks for your input, guys. Louis | ||
