Large Antique Appliance Auction

[ha15hans]

AutomaticWasher.org suscribers. Appliances Unlimited, who a few of you have already purchased appliances from will be holding a liquidation auction of all of its antique appliances on November 1, 2014 in Queensbury, NY. This will be a professional auction and will include a couple hundred antique appliances, including washers, refrigerators, stoves, etc.

I thought I would inform this group as those of you I have met have been very pleasent people. For those of you with any further questions on the auction or any other information feel free to reach out to me. We are hoping for a large turnout and would like you guys/gals especially to show up so that we know our stock of appliances are going to good people!

OO OO PAUL - PHIL

Did you see this??

 

Wanna Go ??

 

 

 

[turquoisedude]

I'm hoping to!  The complication is that there is an offer on my house in the Waste Island and if it goes through, the buyer wants to close on November 1st...  But cripes, I've never heard of a notary working on a Saturday!!

 

AAARRRRGH! 

 

[jetcone]

Do you have to be present at the closing?

That's an option in Massachusetts.

 

[turquoisedude]

No, I'd have to be there.... Maybe being optimistic - not heard back from the interested buyer about my counter-offer yet so this may not be an issue.   Damn, I'd like to see what's left there....  Hansen's has been the source of a few goodies in my collection!

Ya I've been there couple years ago with Paul and PhilR.

they had Phil's truck loaded with stuff to take home LOL!
I'd still like to find a nice 1-18 if he still has any but don't think I can get to the auction :-(

Change of Date

Everyone,

Sorry about the late notice but the date has been changed to November 8th due to the large stock of goods being sold. I have attached a PDF to this thread. It has some information on what we will be selling!

All I can say is WOW... Phil (PhilR) and I were there today and we picked up some really, really cool items!  Of course we're now going to have to rent a truck to get back down there to pick up what we bought...  Stay tuned for more pictures and perhaps a video or two.... 

 

[philr]

Here some that we didn't pick up... We got them for someone in Boston!

 

[philr]

And check Paul's YouTube account for some new videos he doesn't know he uploaded yet! (I had the videos on my phone so...).

Paul also got a Frost-Guard fridge, we didn't have space to bring it back, we need to pick it up very soon!

 

[philr]

I tried to resist buying Frigidaires this time so I got a Maytag set! The washer will need repairs, I didn't have the space to bring back the dryer but the next time we get there...

So other projects...

 

[philr]

Well, I couldn't resist long buying more!

And I even forgot to take pictures of some 1-18s!

Well... More later![this post was last edited: 11/9/2014-01:22]

Ya know, a bigger truck solves your problems!

 

Nice machines, Phil! Decent prices?

 

[turquoisedude]

The prices were quite reasonable.  Of course it still added up fast.... OOPSIE...

 

Understandably, there were some specialty items (fully-restored monitor-top refrigerators and a couple of custom-built 'kegerators') that had reserve prices but the rest of the items went to the highest bidder!  Phil and I did not manage to outbid each other on anything, fortunately... LOL 

 

I almost cannot believe that the Blackstone washer still runs!  I'm going to be doing some serious scheming about how to get to Ogden.  It's temporarily living in a property that I have up for sale... Gotta let the agent know this item is most definitely NOT included in the house sale, should a buyer materialize  LOL!

 

[a440]

Nice machines!

The GE Frost Guard is in beautiful shape!

Where the stickers the item number or the price?

Lift with your legs and not your back!  

 

[turquoisedude]

The stickers were the item number and the number of the bidder who 'won' them.  I was doing most of the bidding under Phil's orders so my number, 64, shows up on a LOT of items... LOL

 

I think we're going to take a trailer down next time.  And an appliance dolly.

 

Geez but that Blackstone was a heavy one - we wound up carrying from Phil's truck into the house and we very thankful there was not already snow on the ground up here... 

 

Now, time to learn more about Blackstone and that model BA600!

 

[turquoisedude]

I don't know if Phil got any photos of it, but I also nabbed a 1959 or 1960 (I didn't check the date code on the model number..shame on me) GE WA350 'slim silhouette' automatic washer.  It's not fancy - just a low-profile console with a single speed and cycle and only a choice of hot or warm wash.   This one's been in the Hansen's warehouse for a while and I could not resist it this time.   It's a solid tub, non-filter-flo, very basic machine with an activator that looks a lot like the 1957 one.   

 

Another one for me to be looking up...
