Someone took very good care of those. I hope that someone saves them. Mike |

That's what he said. Of course people can say anything. |

When we first moved to Ohio in 1969 we were in a rental while our house was finished and we had that dishwasher in Coppertone. It opens like an oven door and has the spin tube in the middle. This house also had a Fridgidaire washer in the kitchen that had the agitator that goes up and down (sorry for some reason I can't think of what that is called LOL). She always complained about how noisy that was. Really I think she just hated the fact that she had to live in a rental for a few months. It was small and much of our stuff was stored in the garage.

(No camera, I promise) So, perhaps wet T-shirts and a kiddie pool full of mud? oh you were thinking boxing gloves, weren't you? :-( So who is going to rescue these? Come on you collectors out there really want them, I can SMELL it. |

Well the auction ended with no sale. I'm guessing now he'll split the items up and try again. Liam |

I was going to make a bid, but got caught up in something else. |

If you truly want these ASAP, I wouldn't offer more than $250.00 for the set and see what the seller says. Look how many Maytags have surfaced this Summer alone! If people truly want to sell items, they should start them low at say $9.99 and let the market dictate what they're worth. The Frigidaire unimatic set sold for just under $200.00 but the gentleman near me started his washer out at $350.00 and got no bids. I made him a side offer but he saw over 800 hits and thinks he has a gold mine. Let's see - I got another unimatic washer two months ago, Graham got a unimatic washer & filtrator dryer last month, Jim just got a set yesterday, another one was listed on eBay last week - see what I mean? And take the guy in Florida who has the pink Maytag set. He keeps on listing it (and paying the eBay fees based on the starting price) at $2,000.00 and gets no bites. These vintage machines *ARE* out there. It just takes a little effort to find them; but the end result is worth the wait. Rich |

I'm interested in all the appliances, not just the washer/dryer. Second poster (Liam) thought they might all be worth $3000-$5000 making the comment about pink GEs that sold for $4000. Or was he being facetious? |

Those pink GE's that sold were NOS from 1957. Maytags are a different ball game altogether. Look at it this way....they started the auction at $1,000.00 plus put a reserve on it. Since the auction had over 500 hits but not one single bid, I'd offer $750.00 ($150.00 for each piece) for the whole lot, if that's what you are interested in. Again, these items are around. This poppy frig worked but since the dealer couldn't even get $25.00 for it, he scrapped it. |

There are still plenty of turquoise kitchen apps in older ranches, nationwide, that could be had for pocket change if one doesn't need them _right now_. GE seems to be the most prevalent, with the separate cooktop and wall oven, and how many of the wall-mount fridges have we seen in the last year? They're out there and some folks just want them out of their kitchen. Now the clothes and dish washers are another ball game seeing as they had more moving parts and tended to wear out. Supply/Demand in that case.
