Yup, suds saver!

They probably could have started the bidding at $14.99 if they had swiped a rag over it!

Cosmetically, that machine looks like its been to hell and back. Look at all that residue in the middle of the agitator! I'd be worried what might crawl out of it. It looks like it may have been in some roach infested basement.

that poor thing!

It looks like its not been used for some time too!
The duct tape trim adds just the right touch... nothing says "rescued from the trailer park" quite like that!

I'm thinking becasue water was un-metered "free" in NYC until recently.

(ducks and runs!)

Not exactly "free", one paid water rates based upon frontage. Many if notall older NYC/NYS apartments, condos, and co-ops are still unmetered, while newly built homes are required by law to have meters. This results in residents of mulit-dewlling units usually using far more water because they do not see the link between usage as costs. Of course condo and co-op owners/shareholds do feel the pinch of water bills because it is paid either out of common charges or other monthly/yearly fees.

we've been metered forever.... the city replaced our standard meter with the electronic one, readable from the outdoors, maybe 15 years ago?

maybe its got more to do with the lack of laundry tubs.

All very valid points. A water meter was optional for the longest time at least in private and two-family homes.

The frontage charge (a flat rate for unlimited usage) crept up every so slowly, but steadily. Word eventually got our that a water meter resulted in SMALLER water charges.

You'd be amazed at how quickly homowners "opted-in" to have one installed. Manipulative genius, AND the installers were not overwhelmed with a RUSH.

Logic was, at first, that the city did not want poeple living in such close proximity to one another to fear the cost of water. WASH! CLEAN! BATHE, USE IT! It was believed to be in the interest of public health, hygiene and sanititation to have very inexpensive water

As I have said WAY too many times before, if it ever stopped raining in this area, specifically Long Island, there would be still literally 150 years worth of water in the ground.
