The best bet is to start the bid LOW and let the auction run its course. High starting prices generally turn people off from bidding. | ||

I agree with westytoploader.... You may eventually get the price (or even more), but it's too high for a starting bid. Anyway, they are pretty, and yes, the yellow is uncommon. I have seen these more in white and copper. Good luck, guy. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Important to remember that vintage stove sometimes fetch that kind of money because: 1- they have been restored 2- they have very few moving parts. 3- they last forever, especially the gas ones. W, D, & DW are mechanically complex and I would say it's tough for a collector to shell out such sums, plus shipping, plus restoration, plus NLA Parts... plus...plus plus... | ||

My Ebay experience...
I have bought several coffeemakers on Ebay over the past years......Here are some thoughts: -Start with a low price -Put a reserve on it(so that if the reserve is not met, the item will not be sold) -You can always entice the right bidder with a 'Buy it Now' price -Be prepared for last minute bidders who up the price tremdously sometimes in a bidding war, but, not as high as if they were bidding all along Good Luck! P.S. Make sure to check the feedback of the buyer | ||

Those are handsome machines. I've never understood why that pastel yellow never really took off, particularly given the popularity of harvest gold, which I don't find nearly as nice, some years later. It was always one of my favorites. | ||

I agree... and here is an example.....
Those Frigidaire's look fantistic and I'd like to have them, but...... The auction: To be the 113th person to say so (ha ha), yes I agree, > Start with a low starting bid > Set a reserve price > Offer the "buy it now" And let the auction run it's course. There was an auction on ebay that ended last week (see the link below) for a late 1950's Westinghouse Laundromat and matching dryer (in pink!). The auction started at $60 (with NO reserve) and stayed there around 3 days. It went up to about $360 and stayed there until the last day of the auction. Within the last few hours, it quickly shot up where it finally ended at $1325!! It turns out there were located only about 10 miles away from me, but $1325 was a little rich for my blood. :-( CLICK HERE TO GO TO revvinkevin's LINK on eBay

That Frigidaire Yellow . . . My Grandmother had the very same yellow Frigidaire, from somewhere in the mid '60s, and a matching yellow RCA Whirlpool refrigerator. If I had known then what I know now (how many times have we all thought this!), I would have saved the washer when she died in '97. | ||
