Wow!  I wish I lived nearby...that was our refrigerator when I was a kid.  We had it until around 1975 or so.  My Mom also had a huge Frigidaire electric range in the same color.  It all had to go when there was an unfortunate grease fire that set one side of the kitchen ablaze.  Otherwise, she'd still have them!  LOL!

She didn't get a single bid on it. So it's still available. But that is a lot of money for it, IMHO. She should have started lower on the bidding.

There are plenty of vintage ranges, fridges, stoves, ovens, etc.. all languishing on fleaPay, CL or elsewhere. This even when they have reasonable opening bids....

However when sellers start with some insane number things usually don't move. Unless we're talking about something NOS, never touched, unpacked, etc... and maybe not even then. People just won't take the hint and start out low and see where things go.

Much of this IMHO of recent vintage started when eBay changed policies on reserve listings. Before many more sellers would start with a low bid, but also have reserve. Now most just start with some totally out of whack number, but no reserve.

People just don't realize market for vintage large appliances (even NOS) isn't large as they imagine.

You're asking someone to purchase a large appliance sight unseen, that may or may not work when installed. Parts for many units are either NLA and or unless buyer knows what he/she is doing would require hiring a repair person.

Then you have not so small fact shifting these vintage large appliances is neither easy nor always inexpensive. It could cost easily several hundred or more to safely shift that fridge just a few states away. If we're talking about cross country, all bets are off.

What has and still always gets me is often these sellers came upon these appliances for nothing. They are usually in a house they just purchased, or maybe sitting in some (now deceased) relative's home or garage. But because they "heard" vintage appliances can fetch big bucks, that old fridge is being sold for $$$$.

Most of time buyers are actually paying to do these buyers a favor; shift an old appliance out of their house/garage.
