Wow! That's from one of the older pull-outs for sure... could be as old as the late 30s or as new as 1956.
At first glance, I'd say this was one of the fifties versions.

I hope that they sit on it for a long time at that price.

Until someone unearths hundreds of these sitting forgotten as new-old stock in a warehouse somewhere, aren't they really worth whatever the traffic will bear?
There is no frustration like owning a vintage appliance that could be like new again, delighting a whole new generation, but for the lack of one unobtainium part....

Try owning three Thor Automagics, two working, one not -- and NO dishwasher attachment! Very frustrating.

It is still ripping off people. Some could afford it, but many could not and buying it at this price just sets the precedent for the next highway robber. If people don't care about others, there is nothing I can do about it. I don't think I paid more than $20 for one for the 56 Hotpoint in the late 80s which was list price from a service company, so that is how inflated this price is. I would check Modern Parts Warehouse in Parma, OH as a first resource for old parts like this and it is not the only such place in teh country. It all goes back to searching, being challenged by the search and being willing to search.
Hundreds of these are not needed. There are not that many of these dishwashers around to need the impellers.

We will have to agree to disagree on this one. My career includes about twenty years of involvement with midcentury collectibles, which were available in thrift stores for pennies when I began getting interested, and which are stratospherically priced today. A market evolved, people became willing to part with serious money for certain things, and it was just too bad for the rest of us.
At one point, I owned twelve place settings of Dansk Fjord, a very famous 1954 Jens Quistgaard stainless flatware design with teakwood handles. I had all the place pieces, accessory pieces like iced tea spoons and butter knives, plus a full complement of serving pieces. I could not possibly afford it today - and I was one of the main people who helped create that market, with articles I wrote for Modernism and other publications.
If you have the money, you can have what you want. If you don't, luck will substitute sometimes, and other times, not. It's just the way it is.

The WD22X19 was the last GE Bakelite Impeller Part Number to be produced, replacing these earlier Impeller part numbers:
WD22X1
WD22X6
WD22X17
WD22X18
GE kept tweaking the design, but didn't really change much from the WD22X1. Prior to that, they were Aluminum.
I think that $80 is a more reasonable amount to ask for this new impeller.
Larry at Modern Parts has long been sold out of the Bakelite impellers, except for the Westinghouse dishwasher impeller. The last time I was there, he still had some.
I buy every GE dishwasher made before 1958 that I can get my hands on, mainly for the impellers, and other parts that are impossible to find.
Here are the Impeller part numbers that I am aware of for some of the other manufacturers of Impeller Dishwashers, but this list will not be complete.

Might this item have been offered in this forum before going up for auction?

Relax guys
I am an honest person, and I take offense to people saying that I'm "ripping people off". Thats just not true. I searched for almost 30 minutes trying to find ANY comparable unit, so I could match/ beat the price. I could not find anything other than a few pictures.
I took a wild guess at 139. Literally I just made up a number. As a vintage appliance collector/restorer/repairman, I could appreciate just having the opportunity to purchase a nos item like this if it is what I needed. I just ran in to a situation with a customer's chambers oven where I could not find a replacement clock timer. I (rather the customer) would have paid $100, $200, or even a bit more for the replacement part.
Maybe you guys should also consider that I spent an entire sunday in an old, damp warehouse pulling this stuff and saving it from the trash. I already did all the hard work; I found it, photographed it, and listed it for your shopping convenience. What's that worth?
After ebay pinches me for 30%, how much am I really making anyway?

Westinghouse dishwasher impellers still at Modern, eh? Well, I guess I should start making my Christmas list... LOL
Supply and demand
What blows my mind when it comes to the complaining about prices? Have any of you researched the price of replacement parts for new machines? Very expensive! Same mindset comes into play with many vintage car parts. I know of a situation where a gentleman had a pair of NOS doors, for a Vw bus.
$1500.00 was the asking price. Bitching, complaining ensued. As I stated on that forum, go price the cost of a new set of doors on any vehicle in production. Why wouldn't a 60 year old set be worth way more? I appreciate the work of those who would go into that dark basement looking for parts. They should get paid for their efforts. Not even mentioning the fact that, how many of the items they post for sale actually sell? All I can say is ... Keep digging pickers! The rare parts are worth the price! BTW I made you an OFFER Lorainefurniture

If only I could find NOS 1957 and 1963-1964 Frigidaire washer agitators for that price! I know the demand for these is low but the supply seems to be low too!
Yes, the thing sold
But we do not know at what cost since eBay no longer lists best offer accepted price.
In any event seller and buyer reached an agreement as to what the thing was worth, good for them and that is now that.
If it had been an impeller for *my* Mobile Maid would have forked out the BIN price if a reasonable offer was refused. I mean what choice does one have? The things are NLA and have been so for ages according to Parma Parts. Yeas, one *could* hunt around old appliance part shops (very few of those in NYC), or wait for some seller to list one at an insanely low BIN price, but then again one could also play Power Ball and have the winning numbers.....
Even if the seller of this impeller started auction at ten dollars, there is every reason to believe that part would have been bid up to perhaps well over the BIN price.
Sellers of NOS vintage appliance parts are becoming more savvy. It takes but a few key strokes to find posts regarding older appliances and many of the first ten hits often lead right to this site. Once here it is easy to nose around and find out what is probably worth what to whom.

Someone made a reasonable offer and I accepted it. It makes my really happy when Im able to pull some obscure part that was going to be pitched and get it in to the hands of someone who can truly use it and keep another vintage machine going for many years.
I love fixing vintage appliances, and I love helping people fix their vintage pieces as well. I would have loved to keep that impeller, as I found it to be a very good looking part. However, I need to earn a living, and a portion of my income comes from the sales of vintage stoves, parts, and service.
