All you GE FF Fans should look into getting this machine, you won't find another where the outer tub is not starting to rust out.

I hope you get this set~!

I also wish I could see this in person before a load is run through it for the first time. To imagine walking into a 2023 appliance store and experience what a 2023 GE FF might feel like. An experience I would never take for granted.  

Can a club member please secure this machine, and then the rest of us will decide who ultimately gets it?

It must be put into safe hands first.

I'd hate someone to see "new washer" and "$500" thinking "good enough" without being able to truly appreciate what they have.

I don't think Jerome and other FF lovers are bots, I believe they are legit individuals with a rare gift. This washer isn't in my state. I was hoping someone living nearby could secure it before a local buyer gobbles it up, and then work out the logistics from there breaking at least even on cash. Perhaps a lofty expectation, however considering the rare gem at stake I only wish that it ends up with someone who can truly appreciate this divine beauty for decades to come. 

If I lived nearby I would snatch this up immediately and sell it to a club member provided they paid or covered the transport + original seller asking price. A lot of these sellers take local pickups over having to agree to a cross country shipment.  

It's about an hour and a half from me. But I'm not going to buy it on speculation, that someone would then buy it from me. Most of us have limited space, and no room for storing such a transaction. 

As the old saying goes, "where there's a will, there's a way" Someone who truly wants this will figure out a way to make it happen.

Uh, no one on here has ever asked me to pickup a machine or help with a restoration. No one has ever asked me to come through with something specific. I have however answered questions, posted links and tech sheets, given advice and emailed members in private.  So you can't say I've never done anything when the opportunity presented itself.

Paint which ever image you want of me, thats how the internet works today, however stop think how silly it sounds that some entity would pay someone to make a few posts a month in an obscure forum to manipulate the price on a vintage machine that comes along less than once a year. Tell me, who benefits?

Ok, lets clear the air. To anyone I've let down over the years, come forward with the promises I've broken. I'm willing to learn from the mistakes I have made.

The other accusations are uncalled for. Imagine finding what ought to be a safe place to discuss love and admiration for something only to be called names. The others on here (and really everywhere on the internet) need to stand up to cyber bullying not because it will change the perpetrators but rather stop kind people from leaving to the point the aggressors become the only ones speaking.

Second, I could make the same accusation about you on the basis you own a business that literally sells, repairs and pushes Whirlpool appliances in every single post while simultaneously knocking on anyone whom quips the slightest contradiction with anything Whirlpool corporation does. Your posts scream paid Whirlpool propaganda employee. Which technically you are... But notice until now I don't call that out because it adds nothing of value to a thread. 

Lastly I do type in a way where I try to be overly civil and if that comes across as being artificial that is not my intent. No I don't have the best wording, I'm well aware of that, but none of it is out of ulterior motives or hidden objectives.

The ad is still up, so probably not.

Sometimes it says pending, sometimes folx forget to pull the ad.

Dang! It would be awesome to be able to get his machine, but it's too far away.

It's only 8.5 hours away from you, not that far.

Where there's a will, there's a way

Would be some manufacturing agent from China to have secured this so the machine can be sent off and scanned part by part, molds and tooling built, and put into production overseas. 

Not likely, but one can dream.

I hope this machine is with a collector.
