Have said this before

Some sellers are wanting persons to pay for removing their non-working appliance.

Unless one lived on the same street or block as seller why would I want to give even $50 plus cost of petrol and my time to remove a non-working washer with a major structural failure? Could see if we are talking about a vintage and or hard to find item but a Miele 1200 series is not any such thing.

If this was a Kenmore or American brand washer where parts were cheap and easily sourced then the bearing/spider repair *might* prove inexpensive enough to make the thing worth. But Miele parts are dear and can only come from one source.

My other worry would be what sort of use this machine got that caused a bearing/spider to fail in < twenty or even ten years.

If the guy wants to make money off this unit he should do what others have; break it down for parts and sell those on
 
Miele Appliances In The US

Are about as worthless as a 15 YO Mercedes, they are nicely built appliances but I see no evidence that they are even average in reliability and often worse.

 

And as mentioned the cost of replacement parts makes them about worthless when broken.

 

Two weeks ago we junked one of the 2009 27" washers on a pedestal with a broken spider and a 2008 24" Miele condenser dryer that caught fire.
