Heads Up Bendix Buyer beware

[supremewhirlpol]

For one thing, we are a special group here. Sexual preference has nothing to do with our love for washers and dryers. I think the seller and the person who asked the question need to layoff from the paint chips a bit here. If it's Carol Kane(mentioned above) who is the quite abrasive fairy, she will do nicely!! Hey, It's only one machine, I'm sure there are several others sitting in basements or storage. All I have to say with regards to treatment of others, What goes around comes around!
I was called gay, queer, etc when I was in grade school because of my hobbies and interest in electricity, motors, and washing machines. Nothing has changed. I feel if that person's aim is to put us down, they need to do A LOT better than that.

Jetcone:
Please keep us up to date with what happens.

Confusious Say

COMPLETELY OFF-TOPIC:
... Is that a mini-nutator in your avatar Melvin? If so, tell me more. You can e-mail if you'd like. No thread derailment intended.

ON-TOPIC:
I'm with Jon, there are no reasons comments like the ones posted and acknowledged should be tolerated by anyone. It's discriminatory and demeaning to the gay community and has ABSOLUTELY no relevance to the sale of the item at hand.

It is what it is. It's an old, heavy machine in a bad location. It has little value to the general population and I'm not sure scrap price on it would be terribly high. Time is money folks, well said earlier, but there is more to the "find" than just the machine. Fuel, labor and other things factor into this. The seller is looking for a quick buck, but is making no concessions in my opinion whatsoever. It's right of speech to inform others of this item. Ultimately it is up to whoever would decide to take the plunge and purchase it whether or not to actually do it. Word of mouth is not only legal, but a very powerful tool, especially if you're in the business of selling things. It can also be a wrecking ball if you're "less than forthcoming" with people... or just slanderous in general in this case.

Hi Tim,
Yes, the nutator in the photo is a demo. It was given to me from the store down the street, as they sold the demo Calypso unit years ago. I've since given it away to someone else here, back toward the summer time, I think. Good speaking with you today.

I think you summed it up nicely!
I posted here out of no concern for the seller, but to warn other collectors of my experience with the seller.

In fact the seller is not the owner in this case, he is a go between so this is not a direct auction.
