How unfortunate to find a rare model such as a 1961 LK only to have it pulled back because of some grandiose delusion of its worth. Countryford, I am sorry to see this one not become yours. Hopefully the seller will realize that he will not get his price and reconsider your offer, but if he doesn't, it is true that another one like it could pop again even if not for awhile.

Funny how the console styling of this is not in keeping with most of the 1961 lineup, but is more in congruity with those that came out in 1962.

Have a good one,
James

Well they are back on Craigslist with a price of $3,000.

$3000! Really?

Now this moron just proved beyond any doubt that he is nothing more than a money hungry douchebag.   I hope the only emails he gets are from people telling him he's crazy.

James wasn't kidding!

Grandiose delusion of their worth, indeed! Wonder if it was from that great source of inflated price research known as the internet, the words vintage or antique or a ton of emails telling him that those are so rare and worth lots of money?

$3,000 on Craigslist? Yeah, good luck with that. Looks like everyone will STILL be waiting for them...

NO money shots of the drums!!Getting suspicious here-for $3000 these machines should be new in their shipping boxes.The seller needs to soak his head!

This isn't even a matched set. It's just two random Lady Kenmore's. I understand from what I've read here in this thread that the washer is a bit rare, but what about the dryer? Is there anything particularly special about it or is it just along for the ride?

$3,000.00

Forget it!

Just pray...

that some cretin with more $$$ than brains doesn't come along and buy them. That happens on eBay and at big car auctions on a fairly regular basis, unfortunately.

Don't remember seeing this thread from 5 years ago. Found it very interesting. Too bad Justin didn't get them. Funny how the "sentimentality" the owner felt for them could be overcome for the right price! Wonder if they ever sold and for how much?

I recently had a somewhat similar experience with a CL ahole myself. I saw a three day old ad for a Chevy Blazer located about one hour away. Looked pretty good and was priced right. I called the number in the ad on a Friday and left a voicemail. All weekend I get no call back so I figured it was sold and like so many CL jerks seller couldn't be bothered to delete the ad.

Monday morning I see the ad was reposted/renewed 10 hours earlier which means it wasn't sold when I called about it Friday or all weekend. So I call a second time and again leave a voicemail this time stating I had called previous Friday but when I didn't hear back all weekend I figured it had been sold. Never got a reply. At that point I decided seller was just a douchebag and could stick it. After about another two weeks of the ad still being up it was finally deleted.

Bottom line is that douche had something they wanted to sell but couldn't be bothered to reply back to a prospective buyer. People of that ilk who post ads online and then don't reply to an inquiry really annoy the crap out of me.
