A friend of mine who knows I'm into old washers, but is not himself, has been going to a local auction every Wednesday. A variety of stuff is sold, furniture, art, appliances, etc.
Now here is the timeline of how things played out.
4:30 pm: I plug my cell phone in to charge because it's low.
5:30 pm: I head to Costco to grab a couple things for a party I'm going to tomorrow, leaving my phone to charge.
5:34 pm: my friend who is at the auction, sends me a text and photos about this washer.
6 pm: I return home, put the items in the fridge, grab my phone, see there are a couple text messages and get in the car to go to a friends for dinner. As I drive I use Siri to read the messages to me.
6:05 pm: When stopped at a traffic light I look at these photos and gasp! I immediately reply, asking him to bid on it for me and give him a max.
6:08 pm: he replies saying "Too late, the auction went very quickly and it sold for $75" Oh geeze! Talk about a missed opportunity! I said "CRAP"! and then, "oh well, I didn't need it anyway.... but it would have been really NICE to have though!"
He also told me the washer was absolutely pristine, looked like it was just unboxed!
Here are the photos he sent me. What is this, a 1963 - 1964?
