 It looks pretty clean but these dryers often are harboring a myriad of small problems by this age (sagging heating element almost on its way out, failed front drum seal, belts on their last leg.) This is a DE306 which was the second from the bottom-of-the-line dryer for that period of production. Also the timer dial is not original, it is substituted from an earlier model. The original timer dial for this model would have been spun aluminum to match the sun-glow gold panel trim. A more realistic price for this would be $50 - $75 if you want some one from this site to take it seriously. Now, perhaps you will hit the jackpot and find the right movie or TV producer who has a big budget and wants to put it on a set. Good luck!

Douglas, that is an exceptionally low price AND you were working with a private seller. In all fairness to this seller, you do have to take into account that an appliance store has overhead and also has most likely given it at least a cursary inspection to insure that it actually works. They also are most likely going to give it least a 14 or 30 day warranty.
