OMG!!!!!! Pink Alert ! Pink Alert!

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I am having the machines shipped right to the Roanoke house and then I will take them to Wytheville. I used Beltman shipping. They shipped something else for me and they were really fast, cheap, and everything arrived intact! Mark

The problem with snipe bids is that they don't come in until the last few seconds of the auction. That's why I stay very up front about my bids. I had no idea that you would have wanted to pay that much for the machines, or I would not have bid against another member. I had no idea who 2655rosemarie was, and since I didn't recognize that drag name, I entered my bid. In the meantime, karl2561 also placed a bid. I have no idea who that is either. I would like to know though, as I see from his buys, that he also collects lighted Christmas decorations like I do. (Would love to get together with him and see what his (or her) collection looks like.) I saw that you were bidding earlier in the game, but kind of counted you out, since you didn't place another bid. These machines just HAD to come to a club member so that everyone could enjoy them at WASH-IN Time. Couldn't stand the thought of the loss of a great set like this! Now of course, you are welcome to come and pet/play with these machines anytime you want! Mark
 
Have something coming from Beltmann tomorrow, so we shall see what we shall see.

Like a man who handles his bizness on the spot. Items paid for and shipping arranged all on the winning bid day. Am always egar to get my winning item shipped and "safe" before some unforseen disaster could happen. Such as one of those once in a hundred year floods! *LOL*

Launderess

I didn't bid early on so you're confusing another bidder with me. Hey, I would never ask someone not to bid on something because I was going to. I didn't announce my intentions here because I didn't want anyone to even think I was implying it. I just thought they were beautiful machines, thought about it a bit and decided to go for it. No harm no foul. I'm glad you got them.

The winning bid wasn't much more than my snipe bid, so if you wanted to consider selling them to me because you're not that interested in them per se but want to keep them in the family, let me know. I'd get toogle to put a new 220 line in and schedule my first wash-in. If not, I'll come and visit them sometime.

Again, congratulations.
 
And Robert,

I would actually prefer a turquoise set. That's the only reason I had to think about bidding on the Kenmores for "a bit". I hadn't imagined a pink set in my laundry room. I had always imagined a turquoise set being the ultimate for my situation. So your 1958 Unimatic/Filtrator set would be wonderful. If you want to sell, I want to buy. Just email me and ask for Versatronic.
 
One has to remember eBay's bidding system will cancel out lower bids if a higher amount was pre-set by another bidder.

Mark's bid was placed with almost over a minute left to the auction. The second highest bidder it seems kept "testing" the waters to outbid Mark, but could'nt get where they needed to be. In situations like this if one REALLY wishes an item it is best to push the boat out and bid the absolute maximum amount (without having to sell one's first born to raise the funds), is prepared to pay.

Of course if the higher bidder has already entered a pretty dear amount already, things can get very interesting. In such instances one is actually bidding against eBay's computers who will enter automatic bids almost instantly. This leave a person doing manual "sniping" with only seconds to regroup and bid again. Have seen people try to outbid a higher bid already placed with something like 5 seconds left to the auction. Only to loose when eBay's computers did what they were programmed to do.

With fast Internet connections becoming more and common, it does seem so much action is taking place with less than one minute left to auction end. Smart money used to say just enter one's highest bid early and leave it at that. But that does leave one open to someone coming along and bidding the item up without any intention of winning. This is hard to prove but still happens.
 
It's Over

Job well done L.

Congrats. Mark - Now call MS. Belknap and tell her what you did! (Private Joke)

This is a great lesson folks. Find a local dealer/junk shop and keep looking. They will have some machines that you'd wished you'd payed $150.00 for.

Irony, what is still available is still obtainable.

Love, Steve
 
Unfortunately.....

Can't do the next Convention since the house isn't finished....BUT.....do hope to host the 2007 Convention! Mark PS. I will post photos of the LAUNDRY STUDIO one of these days soon so you all can see the space that I will have for all these beauties.
 
Congratulations Mark!

Can't wait to see this pair, along with all the others in the collection ( and you, Gary and LK) soon!
