Indeedy! Was originally on sale for a tenner, but either didnt sell, or was withdrawn from sale. Cloud cuckoo land now, methinks. Paul |

Send the seller a message and very politely let them know they are never going to sell it if the REALLY expect to get that price for it! I've actually done that a few times (mostly for ads posted on Craigs List here in the US.). The last one, the seller was asking $1000 for a (granted it was very nice) Maytag wringer, which would normally sell for $50 to maybe $200. I actually did ask "Are you sure you didn't put the decimal point in the wrong place?" and then proceded to nicely explain why I asked. I did not get a reply, but then I didn't expect to. Kevin |

that decimal point has shifted recently, as a few days ago it was £50.00. Dont think they will get a sale at £500.00. Paul |

Hi Everyone. I read the description on Ebay. It is £500. Its actually written as Five Hundred Pounds. Also, it states that it could be the only one left in the world ! What a sales pitch ! hahhaa . Regards. Louis. |

This is the third re-listing, it was on originally for £10 with 9 day to run, a UK collector had a bid on it and then another UK collector (who seems to like contacting sellers and telling them all about it, usually gets them upping the price)gave him info and he pulled the sale without contacting the original bidder!!! It was then re-listed last week starting bid £50...!!! The original bidder made contact and subtley (NOT) told the seller what he thought of his antics. The seller when questioned also confirmed who the collector giving info was!! (usual person - cant have it for himself so he makes sure no other collector will get it either) and there we have it, seller thinks he`s on to a winner, when probably wont get any other business!! |

I know where this place is, its just over the water (through the tunnel) from me. I noticed that machine aswell the other day for 50 quid and now its a whopping 500 with 150 postage. He needs to be more realistic with his prices as i noticed he has an indesit washer on there for sale for 160 but they only do a returns if not happy within 7 days, seems a lot of money to take a chance on a machin that is only approx 230 to buy new...
