    More Insane Craig's List Pricing

    Money laundering and Tax evasion There are folks who list items on Ebay too with super HIGH absurd prices and the items sell too. The reason is money laundering and tax evasion. It allows transfer of cash in a hidden way. ie one has IBM Pentium III computers from 1999 actually selling for...

    More Insane Craig's List Pricing

    Goofy pricing Here is a mower on ebay for 1100; that the Local home depot sells for 1299 and they deliver here free if one is not too far away. Last summer the mower was higher, maybe 1400 to 1500...

    More Insane Craig's List Pricing

    Stuff out of vogue is crap to most; before becoming collecti In Detroit back in 1963 we sold my grandmothers 1955 Chevy for 150 bucks. It had a dented front bumper thus not the blue book of 250. In Detroit in that era; nobody would be caught dead driving such an old car. One got laughed at...

    Look at it this way; *IF* the seller lists the item for 25 dollars and it sells instantly; They will hear forever from other family members that they were fools/idiots/dolts for selling it so cheaply. A relative sold our iron patio table and 4 chairs and cart for 25 bucks "since they are...

    NOS Vintage Westinghouse Oven Set

    If you really want that ebay item that seems high in pricing; keep in contact so if the sellers "fishing" does not pan out he still knows you want it. I once back in 2001 bought on ebay 8 rolls of material that were 250 feet long for 20 bucks per roll with freight. I sold that 2000 ft of stuff...

    NOS Vintage Westinghouse Oven Set

    Need TIME to say what that NOS item is worth Often with a new old stock item that is thinly traded the real worth has no other "compareables":) thus the seller is wise often lets time be his friend. If the thing is brand new in the box for 40 years; waiting a few months is not going to drop...

    If it is not the SEAM; what else is IT? Here is a failed machine; the image from this site of "fredriksam"; where I purposely added text and notes to show the failed seam/joint. It just split apart and opened up like a can of beans. The can's metal is all still there; the seam failed. ie...

    Your unbroken machines have good seams! RE "The issue is not one of materials, it is the seam/weld fails" and RE "I am convinced of that otherwise the innumerable examples of machines distributed over Europe and UK would be affected in the exact same way but they are not! Likewise other...

    how much is it worth?

    bearings Ball Bearings are about always of standard sizes. Your washer's ball bearings were available back in 1930; and will be available in 2030 and 2100 too. It is rubber shaft seal that is often custom made for consumer products.

    "Note that white vinyl vent hoses are not UL-Approved and are a great way to start fires in your house. The American Household Appliance Manufacturers Association (AHAM) recommends the use of either rigid aluminum or steel duct or spiral-wound aluminum flex hose--NOT the white vinyl hose. For...

    I *think* that in the USA; white/plastic/vinyl dryer hoses are made illegal for NEW installations via state, city and county codes; IN SOME LOCATIONS, thus one has no blanket ban...

    Bendix For Sale in Maine

    In the old thread, the ebay seller was selling it for another and was not the actual owner. This causes issues since the ebay seller is dealing with the person/friend who has that old washer in their basement and wants it removed and make cash too. This is one reason selling another's stuff...

    If this "Bad Seam" issue was Greek or Roman swords and a few broke in the field, the sword maker probably would worry about his head. Most damage from Washers in the USA here is with flooding, the hose breaks, solenoid jams, the whole house floods. Most damage from Dryers in the USA here is...

    The issue is not one of materials, it is the seam/weld fails RE "I think the problem is that their really enormous load machines are just pushing beyond the laws of physics. They are using relatively cheap materials and thin drums in huge capacity machines with 1600rpm spins. They either...

    I might totally disagree with every stance from some opposite of me by some chap in Oz or the UK; *BUT* still value dearly their concern that the OLD device I just bought tends to explode, catch fire, cause shocks.

    Sweeping flaws under the rug is more of a spineless marketin From an engineering standpoint, an older flawed machine with a bad weld is more dangerous than a brand new one. An older machine usually has more hours, more unknowns, more risks. This it is really quite selfish and immoral to say...

    NYT: What to do when the warranty expires

    One older part time employee of mine swears by them. He has the extra time and knack to wear down these folks until they balk, thus *HE* often gets them to fix things, ie squeaky wheel gets the grease. Thus since semi retired, he is the Mr Coupon, Mr Deal, Mr Extended Warranty! :) He will...

    Fatigue failures often give little warnings, or due but befo Combo; RE "All washers have the potential for major failure, but this is being blown way out of proportion. No one has been seriously hurt by this type of failure and no one is likely to be. All owners of all washers should be...
