Looking at most vintage and in some cases modern appliance auctions, more and more sellers are refusing to offer shipping.
Can understand not wanting the hassle of crating and packing a large and heavy appliance, but cannot see an objection to say having a freight company come and pick up the unit. If some one is worried about safety, a freight company would have better records of whom was sent to an address than some stranger showing up out of the blue from eBay. I'd rather have a UPS or Craters and Freighters guy in my house than a bunch of strange men I do not know.
Sad thing is so many otherwise great appliances will end up at the Krusher or on the curb, because local auction action didn't produce a sale. Have seen items relisted again and again, usually with the price down to a few bucks, but still no takers. Sellers don't realise it is not the price, but location that matters.
For the right selling price, I'd pay the $$$ freight shipping costs, especially for this unit.
