Yes, one thought so as well
Problem is being far up on the west coast. *LOL*
With Jackie out of the picture (IIRC) one shudders to think what C&F or even U-Ship these days would charge to move the thing to Mid-West or even East Coast. Am always amazed how well many porcelain on enamel washing machine tubs held up so well over the years. See a few bits of rust in pictures but cannot be sure they are chips in the surface. | ||

"Note: its not really going to end as a auction, I just listed it that way for it to get noticed!" Translation: I'm going to end the auction before the scheduled end date. There's no way in hell I'm going to let this one go for anywhere near ten bucks! | ||

Oh I don't know.
Seller seems so far a reasonable fellow. He is being straight forward about a process we *all* know happens and it isn't just on the seller's end. That is persons will contact an eBay seller and offer all sorts to get them to end auction early.
Given the current track record of vintage laundry appliances being "won" on eBay then coming back a week or so later I can't say I would blame them. Persons bid and win things only to find out cost of shipping was more than they realized and or they aren't willing to travel/make arrangements themselves to collect. | ||

I would be seriously interested.....
... as I really liked the 1-18 I gave to Nate (Roto204) as a house warming gift, and it would be fun to have one with a window.
PLUS... I'd be OK with the 12+ hour drive (each way) to go get it, with Westy in the passenger seat.
However.... due to that 24+ hour road trip, I'm definitely NOT interested for $250. $50 to $100-max, maybe. (but then I have to remember I'm not collecting anymore, LOL)

I have long since learned that it's not the sellers responsibility to make something affordable enough to justify the shipping or drive.
For $60, it will end up in the scrap pile. | ||

If I can't sell it, I'm going to sit down on it.....
*LOL*
Not taking any sides but.... If you "Google" Vintage - Frigidaire - Washer, the first several hits are all from this forum and or videos of members machines on Youtube. Can't fault a guy for looking around and doing some research on his appliance. In the end the market will determine if the item sells and at what price. That offer of $250 cash in hand is worth nearly $300 compared to selling on fleaPay as seller will avoid that company's fees. He'll also avoid the same ransom from PayPal when trying to get his money. | ||

The $10 teaser is a bunch of crap.
Am not sure the entire thing isn't illegal under eBay rules. I mean we all know eBay sellers do deals under the table all the time, but this fella is stating it out front.
Keep in mind even if something is listed for one USD and someone wins the auction, eBay cannot force seller to hand over the merchandise for that price. Yes, they can take negative action such as giving someone the boot and or negative feedback, but that won't help a grieved winning bidder. EBay's TOS basically comes out and says they cannot force a seller to complete a transaction. If one has paid money one may get it back, but that is another matter. | ||

For those keeping track
Looks as if seller ended the previous auction due to "error in listing" and relisted: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-Frigidaire-1-... | ||

First
Seller needs to stop messing with his auction. Let it ride instead of cancelling, relisting, etc...
Second a great many "good" machines are sitting on eBay with no bids. That avocado Maytag set comes to mind. Am guessing even with today's historical low gas prices transportation/shipping is still to dear or those who live out of area. Would be interesting to see if someone bids and wins this washer for < $250 seller claims he has an offer if he will let it go at that price. | ||

OK I'm thoroughly confused by the way it's listed now.
He describes it as "The washer washes, rinses and spins...." but also the condition is listed as "For parts or not working". I was going to try and ask the seller to explain the condition, but it's not possible to contact him through ebay.
If it's not working and is only for parts.... again... the price. (and YES I know I can make an offer if I want)

No the seller cannot be contacted through eBay
Gary & Travis, thank you for your suggestions on how to contact the seller, I appreciate it. However, I'd like to suggest you give it a try and see how far you get.
I did try contacting the seller both ways prior to your suggesting it and got no where, only the following message: "We're sorry we couldn't find an answer for you. Unfortunately, this seller is not able to respond to your question. We suggest reviewing the item again to see if your answer is in the seller's listing."

Just dawned upon Moi why we are seeing all these "strang
Listings on eBay with odd purchasing requirements; eBay and PayPal are again separate companies. Things are now moving back to how they were before eBay got their mitts on PP and forced all sales to be paid for through that system; sellers are now free to insist on other methods of payment IIRC. This includes cash or whatever upon collection.

Contacting a member You can always contact a member by clicking on the seller id. On the next page, click contact. It will then ask you for the item number, or you can select not about an item.

Freight cost
Hi Mark,
Can I clarify the freight: so, it's costing you $750 to get from one side of the country to the other? If so, that's a very good price!! As a comparison, I got a quote from YouCrate to get a Maytag set from Colorado to John L's in Baltimore and that was going to cost me $1535. Obviously, it was a set, not just the one item, but maybe I should get a quote from Transit systems considering Colorado's a little closer than Oregon. Cheers Leon | ||
