Ok if it's a 58 model what would you figure the value to be? |

That is so freaking cool, and I'm NOT a dishwasher guy. Is there a previous thread on this machine? It looks barely (if at all) used. |

Don, I concur with Paul (turquoisedude) on the model year for this MobileMaid dishwasher. I am having difficulty deciphering the first letter of the Serial Number. It appears to me to be the letter "U". This letter tells us the month that the machine was built. The second letter in the serial number is clearly an "S", which indicates the production year, which is 1959, from the GE tables. This dishwasher appears to be in remarkable condition except the sump area in the bottom of the tank around the impeller. There could be a potential leak in the bubbled up areas. Therefore, If I were in the market to buy this machine, I would be willing to pay somewhere in the area of $50 to $75, or perhaps a bit higher. The average that I have paid for dishwashers is around $80, considering all ages and conditions. Mike Here is the link to the original Thread #40863: CLICK HERE TO GO TO dishwashercrazy's LINK |

Ok thanks for your time. I thought in that good condition it would be worth a lot more but if that's all it's worth I might as well take it to the dump. Not worth my while to list it on Craigslist for $80.00 Don. |

Yes, I am sorry that the average going price for any vintage dishwasher, at least that I have purchased, is $80. Granted, I have paid $200-$250 for some of my rare dishwasher finds, and those are offset by the few that have been given to me. When I approach a seller of a dishwasher, I often times give them examples of the machines that I have already purchased for my collection, and make comparisons. I also explain that vintage dishwashers simply do not sell, as a general rule, for as much as vintage Ranges, Refrigerators, and Laundry machines. Don, I do hope that you will sell your dishwasher to an avid appliance/ dishwasher collector, knowing that it will be loved and cared for, just like it has been taken care of since 1958, even though you may not get a large amount of money for it. My regards to you. Mike |

Have we any members in Vancouver? I'm afraid my knowledge of Canadian geography is poor. At any rate, if there's a member nearby, I'm sure they would help out, that's what I love about this community! |

Shipping just one item within Canada is as near to impossible as you can get - there are no companies like You-Crate or MicroShip who operate up here. BUT there may be a moving company who might be willing to take this one and I have successfully had a MobileMaid shipped by UPS (but that was in the US), but it can't hurt to ask! |
