I like collecting a few wringers but would you pay for one of these at this price?

Ya gotta really want it.... I don't think it's a typo. There is way too much marketing going on for this wringer. I really think they want $3,500. Call me crazy, but I smell a gouger! | ||

Yeah ... NOT is right! That's insane. It doesn't match the "battleship" gray at all; and the tub hasn't been polished. The paint is kind of cool; but not that cool at $3500. | ||

Maytag Wringer I have the same machine that I bought on Ebay a few years ago for $200.00. At a price of $3,500.00 it is just another one of many times I have seen people trying to gouge us because we are collectors. | ||

The emblem is not stolen from a Neptune. The one on the front might be original, but the one on the lid probably isn't. I wouldn't buy it unless I could see it up close and personal. I bet you'd see a sloppy edging where the new blue meets the original decal. $350.00 maybe, but not $3.5K. Maybe the extra zero's migrated from the number of these wringers that were made to the asking price. Maybe someone from here should call Maytag and get some info from them. Note the seller does not give us the model and serial numbers.

I think the decal on the lid is an original one; you can still purchase them brand new from Davis Advertising in Newton. My guess is this machine was made in the mid-1930's and is probably a Model 31 or 32; that kind of fits that era. They also didn't place a decal on the end of the wringer head. | ||

Damn, that's the highest actual price I've seen!! That's a nice, refurbished model, but I wouldn't pay more than $300 for it; that's what it's worth in that condition, IMHO. | ||

Price Gouging
Quote: "it is just another one of many times I have seen people trying to gouge us because we are collectors." What amazes me, to drift a bit from the thread, is that IMHO "nesting material" of all sorts seems to be overpriced. sheets comforters curtains rugs towels etc. Between that and baby related articles, I just feel that there is price-gouging with regard to things related to emotional/psychological need... perhaps "The more $ I spend the more I love my family? I'm sorry but I just don't see how a set of bed sheets can be grater than $100. Labor to squre it off can't be that much... Reagrding the appliance price, sadly someone may just pay it. | ||
