 Imperial is a mid-line model. Custom is bottom of the line. The 17 series also has a limited appeal compared to subsequent series, as it lacks the upper wash arm and so requires more careful loading. Only a certain segment of vintage KitchenAid fans are going to want such a machine.
$300 is indeed a price that's far too high for your machine. Top-of-the-line 17-series models like the Superba often show up on Craigslist for $50 or less. I think people here are not wanting to insult you with what you may consider a super low-ball offer. Combined with the fact that the machine isn't necessarily as desirable as a Superba, the asking price -- regardless of whether you've qualified it with "or best offer" -- is likely keeping anyone from expressing interest.
It's a nice machine and deserves a home that will use and appreciate it. It strikes me that any dishwasher would make for a very bulky table. I would suggest placing an ad on Craigslist with a much lower price. You can likely sell it for the amount you need to purchase a crib, for which I'm sure there are many ads posted on Craigslist as well.
Good luck. I hope you can work out a deal.

KDI 17 The $300 asking price is a very good asking price for a neat old DW plus the seller said make an offer. Yes this is much more than most of us paid for our appliances, but it really bothers me that everyone is beating up this seller over his initial asking price. How is he to know that his price is higher than average, and if I wanted this machine and I lived near by $300 is a bargain. | ||

i agree
you (seller) have no idea what it might be worth but i will say that i usually pay between 20-100 bucks for any of my kitchenaids and i have a bunch of them. i just picked up a kds-17a which is the top of the line model for 35.00 in cinti a couple weeks ago and i see another kds-17a with woodgrain panels on ft. wayne craigs list at the present time for 25.00. i have e mailed that seller about it.
but out of the 26 kitchenaid dishwashers i have i have no imperial models of the 17 series, just 3 imperials of the 16 model. so i will call you and make an offer if you don't sell it to anyone else. when i first started collecting i actually paid 200 for my first kds-17a as i was eager to have one. now i am first to admit i need another kitchenaid anything like a hole in the head! or anymoree dishwashers of any kind. but something in me will not let me pass up a 17 model kitchenaid if the price is right! i just love em! hopefully you will sell this to someone else before i can buy it! | ||
