,
Saw an ad for these, $40 obo...", after a few days I get a response, "I am out of town, be back next week." Needless to say I was excited. Today I contacted again, here was the reply: Hello, Yes I'm back, but unfortunately and unbeknownst to me, my brother moved them out to the curb and a scraper picked them up, I'm so angry. Sorry. "Angry...sorry", that makes two of us buddy...

When you see an ad for something rare like this at a very low price you either need to be there with a truck and helpers to load immediately OR you need to offer a decent amount of money if you expect the seller to jump through hoops to meet your schedule and help with shipping, loading etc.
When you see something like this that you really want talk to the seller as soon as possible with a realistic reason why you want this W&D [ tell them you Mother had the exact same set and you have fond memories of it etc ] Do Not ask a millions questions about whether it works perfectly, doesn't leak etc.
Then offer a fair price, for this 1970 Kenmore pair I would have offered around $200.
No body likes a bargain more than I do and some of our best stuff we got for free or close to it, and I have also purchased very rare machines from all over the country without any problems with sellers, I have always found sellers to be helpful and cooperative when you make it a fair transaction where both parties are happy.

I agree 100% with the guy saying CR LIST is full of scams and some jokers! posting pristine stuff and flaking out on the last minute or with a bogus story like my brother put them out to the curb and the trash man took them??give me a break , I feel your frustration I go through that too with seeing great things at a super low price feels like they do it purposely to get attention or something . I can be wrong but keep looking I'm sure you'll score again. peace

Wow, you're a trusting soul. Reading that I was waiting for the part in the story where the guy never showed up. |

So was the ad created with pics incidentally taken from this site by someone coincidentally located in San Diego and the machines were indeed scrapped? Or was the ad some weird artifact of the spat between owners chronicled elsewhere on this site? Probably the later, coincidence seems too great. Which I guess would be good news, that at least the machines in question were not scrapped. |
