Good Morning Oregon! Vintage GM/Frigidaire Washer

[launderess]

First

Seller needs to stop messing with his auction. Let it ride instead of cancelling, relisting, etc...

Second a great many "good" machines are sitting on eBay with no bids. That avocado Maytag set comes to mind.

Am guessing even with today's historical low gas prices transportation/shipping is still to dear or those who live out of area.

Would be interesting to see if someone bids and wins this washer for < $250 seller claims he has an offer if he will let it go at that price.

That's a strange strategy from the seller. He should list it at the price he accepts to sell it or at least put a reserve on the auction! I guess it's against eBay rules too...

 

[launderess]

It is official

This makes the second or third relisting/revision?

Pardon Our Interruption...

 

[travis]

I turned him in

He finally has it listed properly, a BIN or best offer!

 

Now, go ahead and offer $60 if you wish.

 

[launderess]

I turned him in

You is bad! *LOL*

 

[goatfarmer]

You go, Laundress!

 

[travis]

Thank you laundress

I haven't had a good laugh on here in awhile

OK I'm thoroughly confused by the way it's listed now.  

 

He describes it as <span style="font-size: 12pt;">"</span><span style="font-size: medium; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-weight: normal;">The washer washes, rinses and spins...."</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> but also the condition is listed as "</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For parts or not working".</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">   I was going to try and ask the seller to explain the condition, but it's not possible to contact him through ebay.</span>

 

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">If it's not working and is only for parts.... again... the price.   (and YES I know I can make an offer if I want)</span>

 

 

 

[travis]

Kevin,

You can still ask the seller question just click on his seller ID and then ask the seller a question. He probably listed it as parts or repair because he doesn't want to deal with someone saying that it doesn't work properly because of how PayPal and eBay work in regards to getting a refund in case the buyer is illogical.

 

[countryguy]

In the body of the listing, just click on the 'ask a question' to contact the seller.

 

[launderess]

Oh Lord!!!

Another question might prompt yet another cancellation/relisting/revision.....

This auction is like watching that film, The Three Faces of Eve; things just keep changing....

*LOL*

 

[revvinkevin]

No the seller cannot be contacted through eBay

 

 

Gary & Travis, thank you for your suggestions on how to contact the seller, I appreciate it.  

However, I'd like to suggest you give it a try and see how far you get.

 

I did try contacting the seller both ways prior to your suggesting it and got no where, only the following message:

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times; color: #0000ff;">"We're sorry we couldn't find an answer for you.</span><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times;">   Unfortunately, this seller is not able to respond to your question.   </span>

We suggest reviewing the item again to see if your answer is in the seller's listing."

Works for Moi

Didn't actually try sending a message but was able to access the "contact seller" page to send information.

Just dawned upon Moi why we are seeing all these "strang

Listings on eBay with odd purchasing requirements; eBay and PayPal are again separate companies. Things are now moving back to how they were before eBay got their mitts on PP and forced all sales to be paid for through that system; sellers are now free to insist on other methods of payment IIRC. This includes cash or whatever upon collection.

Contacting a member

You can always contact a member by clicking on the seller id.  On the next page, click contact.  It will then ask you for the item number, or you can select not about an item.

Thank You Launderess

Just wanted to thank you for listing this machine if it weren't for you I wouldn't have seen it.I was able to contact the seller and he said the machine works well and does not leak so I gave him the $300 he was looking for.This is the 1-18 I have been looking for a long time and they are rare especially working.Now I have to figure out how to get it home as my regular shipping company rolled over on me.

 

[launderess]

You're Welcome! You know me....

I live to help others! *LOL*

I'd put up something on U-Ship and see what sort of action comes in. Sometimes it may take a few weeks to get a serious (and reasonable) shipper with that system, but it is a viable option.

Craters and Freighters is the other choice, but they aren't everywhere.
