for that price they should come with hot and cold running houseboys! Nice machines and cute yes, but they are not pristine by any means, and the washer is broken besides! | ||

Too Funny! The darn things aren't even working and they want mint condition prices for them! ha! Oh well, I email them to ask if they had any pix's of the insides of the washer and dryer. Just for fun!- James | ||

They're nuts if they think they're going to get that price for machines that need to be repaired. It just jacks up the price for us collectors. | ||

Unfortunately, that is part of the "eBay culture" we live in now. He didn't sell them when listed before and he probably won't sell them now. I see from the pictures that he shoved the modern dryer out of the way to plug in the pink 'Tag for the photo-op. When he gets sick of storing them, the price will come down. I paid three hundred for my pink set, combined with another set, but they still need cabinet painting and a little tweaking here and there. Even with all the money, time and effort, I wouldn't delude myself into thinking it's "pay off the mortgage time" by any stretch!

Its never ok to take advantage of people. Never.
it only happens if you let it. and if you're stupid enough to pay that kind of money, you deserve to lose it. would you walk up to the manager of sears and tell them they're f***ing crazy? sending emails like that to people is cowardly. if the guy wants 2K for them, who the heck are YOU to tell them they can't? last time i checked this was a free market society.

i can just see all the kids lined up with tax return in hand waiting to jump on that one. when have you ever seen a common set like that actually SELL for such a high price? they don't because people won't pay it. maytags are all over the place for a couple hundred bucks or less. so your argument that these folks are jacking up the prices for the rest of us doesn't hold water. most machines are found in the dump or in a dark corner of some old appliance store, RARELY on ebay or craigslist. the only person being taken advantage of is the seller, because ebay's making money whether they sell or not. my original point was (and i don't think it's stupid) is that noone has the right to treat other people like that, no matter how badly you wannapinkset of your own.
