Well, I don't know if I should be amazed or what.
I've been among the crowd who've dissed those people placing ads for items that "we" thought were astronomically priced. I didn't believe that things sell. I was wrong.
My proper Miss Ellie is apparently going to a new home.
Like I said above, I've never collected for moneys sake, so I really didn't expect it would sell.
Not only did it sell for more than the opening price of $290, it got into a heated bidding war and went to $406. I've sold stuff on Ebay, but nothing as antique or "special" as this, and nothing that's got into a bidding war.
I'm flattered, and blessed, and amazed.
If the buyer is a member, I hope you will get years of enjoyment from it.

Since listing the KDS-17, I've picked up a GE dishwasher for
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">free</span>. Nothing wrong with it. It had the ubiquitous stuck motor as it had sat for several years, unused. We know how easy that is to remedy on a GE.
I got it to wash parts in, and what a joy it has been. I can load dirty parts or tools in it, and run stuff through a few times. If something is really bad, I'll take the pieces out and special treat it to get it clean, by hand, then put it back in to finish the cycle. I wish I had this years ago.
Even with no sound insulation, this DW is rather quiet. Now, I had a bol 1998 GE I bought new back then. I used it not installed in a cabinet. It was L-O-U-D. It looks like the same plastic tub to me....
Of course, I've picked up a few D&M dws, one of which you may have seen me cleaning out in another post. It's kind of hard to take a 70s/80s D&M seriously compared to the quiet, filtered, results of some of the newer stuff.
DWs are either to look pretty like a pre-1998 KitchenAid, or be utilitarian, imo.
Having Christmas at my parents, yesterday. I would have been lost without their Bosch DW doing 3 loads almost silently.
