Pretty impressive that the safety floor switch bulb is still there but that doesn't increase its worth by $1,100.

It’s in fairly good condition, save the great big chip in the porcelain. Surprising that the safety food bulb survived, most people took these off as soon as the machine was delivered, they were nothing but a big PITA.

But this seller must be huffing glue if they think this is worth $1200.00!! Maybe $250.00, and thats very generous.

has there been a sudden drop in IQ's.....

wringers for some odd reason have been showing up all over...with some of the most outrageous pricing ever...

prices starting at 300.00+ for the junk ones, and going upwards to 1500.00 for one that doesn't even work!...WTH?...


really tempted to respond, as we are all wondering, what ARE they smoking?


I know some things are only worth what someone is willing to pay....but in reality, I don't see anyone paying those prices...


probably the only exception I see is if this machine came from Brad Ross, after all the time end effort he puts into restoring some of these wringers....

Nothing New

People have been asking very dear prices for vintage appliances including Maytag wringers for sometime now. However my usual comment in such situations applies; asking ain't getting...

At least on fleaPay and some other places you are seeing more "Or Best Offer" clauses showing there are those who have not totally lost their minds.

For eBay sellers at least that place has tightened things up lately (fewer deals on listings, raising fees, etc...), to point people want to get much as they can because they know a good portion of final sale price will be eaten up in fees.

You can go to Offerup, Facebook, and other sites where also will find delusional sellers thinking their vintage appliances are a gold mine. Even things that once did fetch large prices such as certain brand/maker of metal cabinets aren't moving.

Well thirty-three people are watching this listing, if that means anything at all.

Well, in Ohio I could get 5 or 6 for that price!

8 out of the 10 Maytag wringers I've accumulated were free. Paid $30 for a mint, extremely low use E2LP and $50 for very nice Model 30 w/pump from the original owner that resided in the exact same spot since new in the 1930's.

That’s another reason why I couldn’t really find nice machines in my area since they were asking too much, and onetime a Maytag A806 in Coppertone popped up for sale in Escondido, and the seller wouldn’t budge on the price. I didn’t end up getting that set, but strictlybojack did. Sometimes sellers need to realize that not everything is not worth what they think it is, and they have to be willing to lower the price of the want to sell.

Yes but that really applies to so many things nowadays. Homes, cars, trucks, all sorts of "collectibles", and so on.

House hunting (or just looking) you find plenty of properties that seem over priced to your eyes; "It will never sell at that price...". You make a lower offer and seller says "no", so you on. Sometimes the house doesn't sell, but then again it does and not just at price you didn't pay, but higher.
