I can not believe how much some people feel their appliance will sell for. |

Hello Mike, let me get this straight... this eBayer is not even sure if the Mobile Maid he/she wants to sell will actually work, but he/she want to earn the same amount of money you'd probably spend on a new and nearly TOL dishwasher.
My grandpa used to say "You know, Lunatic Asylum is written on the outside..." which meant that too many crazy people - just like this eBayer - were still on the streets, in the stores, etc, but I don't think (or at least hope) someone crazy enough to buy it for one thousand bucks will easily turn up...

I bought the identical dishwasher several years ago for 10.00 at the Goodwill, in better shape than that, and GAVE it to my friend Steve Riley, he uses it as his other DW as he keeps a Kosher kitchen. |

I think a lot of them don't know and use wishful thinking. The ones that are unsure, I think, put their items up with a "pie-in-the-sky" price and then use "Best Offer" to bring them down to earth. It seems that was what happened with our friend in New Jersey who had those lovely NIB pink Caloric appliances. They started at 9K and now they're in the low hundreds. |

Well that is the problem right there.
They are "FEELING" (emotional) rather than "THINKING" (logical). My old boss had a fabulous Greek word on a plaque on his wall "SKEPSOU" (THINK!). In Greek it is reflexive so by proxy it means "HEY YOU, THINK"! OR "I SHOULD THINK". No one else can really do that FOR you! |
