Yes, all the best to them in getting that price for it (not that it will do any good).
Two weeks ago this Saturday I bought this more deluxe, TOL E2LP (1959 vintage) for less then $100.

I wouldn't even pay $100 for it, $50 would be more like it. I wonder what drugs people like this are on?

Around here, thoses machines are still fairly common. Normally $35-100 for one like that. BUT, if one like this comes up at an auction where there is an Amishman or Mennonite looking for one, LOOK OUT. This one at one of those sales would fetch $300-500 and that's from some hardcore wringer wanters. Kevin, I agree on the "if it's old, it's gotta be worth money" belief that some people have. Really, anything is only worth what someone is willing to give for it that day.

My Aunt In Nebraska
bought her ELP2 back in the mid 60's from the Maytag Delaer in Osceola Nebraska. She used it every Monday from then until the 80's when she got her automatic. It sat out in her "washroom" which was the retired milk separator house (they had milk cows at one time). Anyhow, the Maytag Dealer was talking to my uncle and told him to be on the lookout for an ELP2 as he wanted one in his window display. Harold went home and got it along with the two rinse tubs and the receipt. The dealer bought them back from Uncle Harold for MORE than what he originally paid for them. The last thing I knew, they are still sitting in the window display in downtown Osceola NE!

A lovely machine,
but not at that kind of price. I would expect to pay maybe $150 or $200 for it. Might be worth a little more if it were a color other than white. I would think over 90% of those sold after colors were available, were probably in white. I worked at a hardware store that was a Maytag dealer in 1977, and while we had them on display in avocado and coppertone, all the ones I remember being sold were white. I helped deliver, and all the ones I took were to people who lived on farms. They didn't want to pay more for colors - all they cared about was that it washed good and would hold up well.

WOW ... a thousand bucks, huh? Geez ... I bought mine for $50 last summer and had to put some elbow grease in it to clean it up, but mine looks just as good as the one on Craigslist.
Maybe I'm sitting on a gold mine????

Someone needs to throw a rock through the window and chip the SOB to knock two of those zero's off!

looks a bit hokey to me .
You'd think for a grand they could at least get the hose right. Some people! ;'D
Like many of you, most of my old beauties rang up at well under a hundred dollars. The ubiquitous greed today has become so obscene, that I end up laughing.
Thanks Cimberlie for your funny Friday deviltry.

The one the on the left cost 40 bucks; the one on the left was free, in the garbage, hurled out on its side like an old unwanted friend. I picked her up, kissed her, and she lit up like a pinball machine as soon as I got her home.
This is part of the miracle and, hence, of the mythology, of the Maytag: they just won't quit and they never say die.

hey geoff
That is one pretty Maytag!! Wow! Sometime I'd like to know about the "elbow grease" you have. I'd really like my "harem" to look as pretty as yours.

Geoff is THE Maytag magician, and Aworg Conventional Maytag Specialist--all of his beauts area in showroom condition; they actually shimmer and gleam.
Maybe we could coax him into revealing his jewels tonight for the many new people who haven't seen them.
