Reasonable seller.
Yes, one thought so as well
Problem is being far up on the west coast. *LOL*
With Jackie out of the picture (IIRC) one shudders to think what C&F or even U-Ship these days would charge to move the thing to Mid-West or even East Coast.
Am always amazed how well many porcelain on enamel washing machine tubs held up so well over the years. See a few bits of rust in pictures but cannot be sure they are chips in the surface.

"Note: its not really going to end as a auction, I just listed it that way for it to get noticed!"
Translation: I'm going to end the auction before the scheduled end date. There's no way in hell I'm going to let this one go for anywhere near ten bucks!

Oh I don't know.
Seller seems so far a reasonable fellow. He is being straight forward about a process we *all* know happens and it isn't just on the seller's end. That is persons will contact an eBay seller and offer all sorts to get them to end auction early.
Given the current track record of vintage laundry appliances being "won" on eBay then coming back a week or so later I can't say I would blame them.
Persons bid and win things only to find out cost of shipping was more than they realized and or they aren't willing to travel/make arrangements themselves to collect.

Reasonable
I contacted seller. He asked what my offer was. He said he had an offer of $250.00. He said the lint trap alone sells for $60.00. He obviously wants all he can get, referenced the club, and that some guys have 20 to 30 of these things. I contacted him because he is only 30min from me. I have no interest in the machine. I can pick it up for anyone who might need help from afar.

I would be seriously interested.....
... as I really liked the 1-18 I gave to Nate (Roto204) as a house warming gift, and it would be fun to have one with a window.
PLUS... I'd be OK with the 12+ hour drive (each way) to go get it, with Westy in the passenger seat.
However.... due to that 24+ hour road trip, I'm definitely NOT interested for $250. $50 to $100-max, maybe.
(but then I have to remember I'm not collecting anymore, LOL)

Offer
I offered $60.00. Great minds think alike!

So Travis, are you saying... if you were selling this machine and you only got a $60 offer for it, you'd send it to the crusher rather than sell it???
If I can't sell it, I'm going to sit down on it.....
*LOL*
Not taking any sides but.... If you "Google" Vintage - Frigidaire - Washer, the first several hits are all from this forum and or videos of members machines on Youtube. Can't fault a guy for looking around and doing some research on his appliance.
In the end the market will determine if the item sells and at what price.
That offer of $250 cash in hand is worth nearly $300 compared to selling on fleaPay as seller will avoid that company's fees. He'll also avoid the same ransom from PayPal when trying to get his money.

Kevin,
I am saying that if you asked me to take pictures of, list an item on the hopes that I would make 90% of $60, I might let it go. Maybe not me personally, I like old stuff, but normal folks might take it to the curb.
If you're willing to drive 12 hours each way to get the thing, then at least offer him $100.
This all being said, the seller should have listed the washer with the minimum price he would accept. The $10 teaser is a bunch of crap.

Am not sure the entire thing isn't illegal under eBay rules. I mean we all know eBay sellers do deals under the table all the time, but this fella is stating it out front.
Keep in mind even if something is listed for one USD and someone wins the auction, eBay cannot force seller to hand over the merchandise for that price. Yes, they can take negative action such as giving someone the boot and or negative feedback, but that won't help a grieved winning bidder. EBay's TOS basically comes out and says they cannot force a seller to complete a transaction. If one has paid money one may get it back, but that is another matter.

It's Gone!
True to his word looks like the seller did a deal.
There was a bid for the opening amount ($10), but it has been cancelled by ending of listing early.
Now for the suspense; will the new owner reveal him or herself? Or, as often will the thing simply vanish into quiet obscurity. *LOL*

For those keeping track
Looks as if seller ended the previous auction due to "error in listing" and relisted: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GM-Frigidai...870572?hash=item3abf8e32ec:g:FzkAAOSwZ8ZW5Jrx
