But I've heard from several folks on and off the site who are in the appliance business that good used appliances are tough to find.
Testimonial to that I think are the first two Craigslist ads that have been linked in this thread -- they are both offered by a small business of some sort. My hunch says that if that seller could find more plentiful direct drives, Dependable Care machines, etc etc that we wouldn't be seeing these 30+ year old machines being reconditioned for re-sale. Some of this we owe to the recent economy where people haven't been buying many impulse or "just because I want it" appliance purchases. Some more of the reason though is the big-box stores, and even Sears, insisting that all haul-aways be quarantined and sent to scrap, with no chance of being intercepted by the re-sellers and parts scavengers. That infuriates me, but the silver lining may be that older machines that would not have otherwise gone on to see more service are being given a second look by the rebuilders and re-sellers. I suppose that's a good thing. Gordon |
