Yes, I quite realize that. It seems that whoever got them was a "gay" person who was from AW site. Reason I say that is because of a rather nasty text I got back from the person who was selling them about "gay" guys from that site. | ||

So many things are snapped up never to be heard about again.
When or if the new owner wishes to come forward, they shall. If not we all simply have to move on and let it go. Recall posted a vintage Frigidaire washer found on one of my early morning CL trolls. Thing was selling for $50 or less IIRC, and was gone before lunch time. To date no one has said a peep. Seems the only time we do hear about such units (other than when gracious members choose to share) is when something goes wrong and parts/repair advice is required.
As for the seller's comment, less said about that the better. It has happened in past that for unique or highly sought after item a CL seller will be deluged with contacts after the listing has appeared on this site. You'd think they'd be grateful for the free exposure and interest in what often otherwise would just be another "old" appliance listing, but sometimes not. That someone would go behind the back of a purchaser and say such things is downright mean. It didn't seem to bother them taking the "gay" person's money.

 One thing I've noticed. When something vintage shows up, on EBay, or C/L, the seller is sometimes deluged with EMails. Not from potential buyers from this site, but from others from this site who tell them what a rare and valuable piece they have, and that while they don't want it, the piece should bring lots of money. The piece sometimes disappears, only to surface later at 4-5 times the original asking price.
Just sayin'..... | ||

Guess to some CL sellers since they didn't list their advert here, much less know the group exists all the sudden contacts mentioning can be startling. Am quite sure there is a population in the larger world whom thinks we are rather odd.
However that being said it still is no reason to be nasty. Had one not posted that Norge listing and or it otherwise never made it into wider circulation those units might still be sitting where they were. Gay or otherwise people need to wake up and realize outside of this and another few small groups the market for vintage appliances is very limited. More so for the prices some people seem to think their old rusted out and not working appliances are worth. Gay money or not the seller should consider they are well off to have shifted that lot for asking price. | ||

So good they were listed in the group twice! Shopper's Square should be checked frequently! *LOL* New stuff is constantly being ferreted out and posted, with the good things quickly being nabbed. www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T... www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T... | ||

Well I for one
Hold nothing against you nor am the least bit worried we posted the same item. More pair of eyes out there spotting items the better, that's what I say.
There is no such thing as a "mistake" when it comes to posting an item already listed. If bandwidth usage is suffering am sure our Fearless Leader would let us know. Your post by the way gave a far more accurate listing of location than mine. Even gave a bit of comic response: www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T... In any event this horse is not only dead but starting to decompose, time to stop beating it and bury the thing. | ||

t the first time a someone came to this exact site, offered something for sale.....FREE in fact....
first of all, if you weren't even interested in the items, why would you feel the need to even contact that person and got several unpleasant email/texts over the whole situation..... doesn't it bother anyone that AWO is being represented by a few 'jerks' giving the rest of us a bad rap!.... sometimes there should be a thread started for members acting out of context....you don't have to name name's.....usually the one who's guilty of the situation is the one who speaks loudest....they don't need pointed out, they know who they are.... if one or two don't get along, that's human nature.....when you get several who all feel the same way.....theres a problem with handling yourself..... you should be old enough, and I would think mature enough, you don't need to be disciplined from us.....handle it on your own level....the world might be a more enjoyable place.... note too.....there have been items for sale.....a member posted an interest in purchasing it.....only to have another member pull an underhanded stunt and buy it right out from underneath that first member.......again, you don't see something wrong with having this sort of member in our group..... worst part in any of this.....AWO gets a reputation that were ALL like that....ARE WE?... just sayin'...... | ||

It is risk buying some things from CL.
There are some pretty "seedy" parts of a city. Then there are the sellers that send you the good shots of the appliance and once you arrive after driving 6-7 hours see the machine has been mis-represented. That has happened to me about 3 times. When I picked up that KDS-58 in Scranton... Only to find the cutting board top was so black with mildew and the door hinge was broke I left the top there and brought the rest of the machine home. There was Candle wax in the machine but it did clean up well. It still needs work but... I have gone into scary parts of Boston only to say to myself on the way home... "WTF did you go there for ?" | ||

safety is always first......
watch for certain neighborhoods, if you don't feel safe....get out of there, or don't go at all... I always have a backup plan in place...... sometimes I take someone with me... sometimes I pack heat..... or have someone on call as to where I am heading, I call within minutes of reaching my destination, if they don't hear back from me within 20 minutes, they are to call the police.... I have also given advice to members heading into certain parts of Jersey, as of their safety concerns for areas they are not aware of...... I have also given my phone number, for if your traveling through New Jersey, and run unto problems or break down, at lest your not alone and lost, you have a friend to call......something I wish more members would do for others... | ||
