I bought this GE Mobile Maid in pristine condition at a charity shop, not knowing if it worked. Got it outfitted w a hose and have successfully used it a half dozen or so times. And it does the job on the plates better than expected, it’s unusual for any stubborn residue to stay.

However, I don’t use it often for the space it takes in my kitchen — and so as beautiful as it is, I’m looking at downsizing. I would be interested to price it fairly and to move. I’m seeking out the opinion of hobbyists here on what sort of list price I should consider for that to be the case. Please, by all means, weigh in.

I’m coming up short on resources to price this with. The only Mobile Maid comprable on eBay is at an exorbitant price, but is the nicer, more sought-after woody (as I learned on this forum).

Mine is in excellent condition, and I’ll miss its aesthetic appeal. Located in the PNW states. More pictures or video upon request.

As with any vintage appliance from sewing to washing machines (and anything in between) a thing is only worth what someone is willing to pay. Just because similar vintage appliance sold for $$$ in past it does not automatically mean anyone is willing to fork over same or more today.

Have a GE Mobile Maid that pretty much cannot give away. Need to get on with stripping it down for parts and rubbishing the carcass.

Best you can hope for is to list MM for sale at lowest price willing to take and see if that gets any nibbles. You can aim higher for similar purposes and see how that goes.

Mobile Maid dw shown in final picture was listed by member of AW.org. Not sure if what became of unit but note his was of later vintage than your MM and as such far more modern. Your MM was one of first designs and not everyone is a fan of those impeller dishwashers. MM shown in final image was near or TOL offering from GE of top loading dishwashers before they discontinued that line.
