On Sunday, I bought a Maytag A806/DE806 set on eBay in the Chicago area with the intent to get them up myself with my pickup (I live in Chattanooga, but it's a suds saver set in good condition and the are rare here).
If I can't get this sorted out by Friday, I will have to contact the seller and ask to back out of the deal.
Thanks for your help.

I can't help you with your unfortunate issue but have to say that is an awesome set. I had been admiring it on eBay a few days ago. John |

Yeah, what the Launderess said. I have used them before with good success. It will cost you more than the set did though... |

Reached out to Transit Systems for a quote to have that Simplex ironer shifted from Iowa to New York. They came in much higher than most bids from U-Ship. But then again was trying to keep cost down (under $300), and most quotes from US were at $400 to $500 and over. TS came in around $500 or so IIRC. Just checked my Inbox and long since deleted their responses.
TS was great in terms of follow-up and would have used them if could have swung the cost, but things didn't work out. |

I've just contacted the seller to ask to be let out of the transaction, with compensation to him for relisting and nuisance fees.
I had intended to do this on the cheap with me and my pick up but my knee gave out on Monday while going down my stairs. This is the third time this has happened and my doctor is strongly recommending a chair lift, which is being installed on Friday.
Candidly, it's the cost of the lift that's prevented even considering a professional move. This is irking me a lot: I've been in bed for several days now and have had lots of time to think about this. I never wanted an "open end" collection: the 806 with Suds Saver was actually going to be my last acquisition. I suppose that will have to wait now.
Again, thanks - especially to the Laundress for your suggestions. Obviously, next time. |
