Who Wanted A Bock Extractor?

"Buy It Now" is the price one pays if one does not wish to wait for the auction to end. Almost like purchasing an item in a shop.

"Reserve" is the lowest price a seller will take for an item. Sellers can put a reserve price on an auction, and IIRC have a BIN price on fleaBay. Not totally sure about this last bit as it has been ages since I sold anything on eBay.

Buyers usually take a buy it now price if they either need the item right away, and or do not wish being outbid especially by a sniper at the last minute. OTHO there is no promise that the item will sell for anywhere near the buy it now price. You pays your money and takes your chances.

Took the liberty of looking on Bock's website and could not find this particular extractor. You could contact Bock and see if they still have this model in production or at least the manual. If this extractor weighs several hundred pounds, you can be sure of paying half or at least three quarters of the buy it now price to have it shipped from Northern Canada to New York. Over 180 or so pounds and UPS won't touch it, so you are looking at freight carriage.

You would need to find out if this unit needs to be bolted down (not certian but it appears the "feet" have holes for holding bolts. You would also have to find out what sort of floor surface this extractor works best on. My guess is solid concrete or VERY firm flooring.

As it seems with many appliances, you probably would spend more having it shipped than actually paid.

Personally while it would be interesting to have an extractor, Bock units like this are just too dangerous IMHO. One non-thinking moment could cause loss of a limb. While Googling Bock, one was amazed on how many lawsuits came up to which Bock was a party. Children, prisioners, laundry workers, you name it all sued by Bock for damages. Near as one could figure out the common theme of the lawsuits was that Bock designed/sold a dangerous product and did not provide adequate safety warnings.

But hey, if you have space in your garage/basement and want to show the cul-de-sac who is top dog laundry wise, have at it. *LOL*

Checkrate/Likes *BOCK BOCK, BABY!* ME ME ME ME ! But there is no way I have that kinda $ right now. I wonder if this requires three-phase current. This and a Wascomat, and I'd be set for life.

Checkrate/Likes Kinda pricey reserve---- especially for used equipment---- never mind the cost of shipping and what's up with the $25.00 handling fee? They need to get real! Wonder how old it is anyway? Did/does Bock offer different models with higher spin speeds?

Checkrate/Likes *Fleabay virgin* Is "buy it now" and "reserve" the same? Not sure how this all works on fleabay. Is the "buy it now" price the highest bid to date? Do they have an "instruciton manual" for newbies like me? TKS.

Checkrate/Likes *Bock Extractor* This looks just like bolt down Bock extractor in laundry room in apartment complex where I grew up. After a 15 cent wash in the Apex bounce-o-matic, you put your clothes into the Bock extractor for 5 cents before putting them into the dryer for 10 cents. It sure brings back memories.

Checkrate/Likes *frisbee laundry basket.* Thank you! sigh Cant' see it happening anytime soon. The concrete basement floor and the necessity to hard-mount (bolt-down), no prob. But, with my luck the basket would go into orbit: 1) and take out the electrical panel 2) slice the water main in half 3) and a shard would fly a few feet over and take out the gas meter. KA-BOOM One day......
