Orphans looking for a new home...

[turquoisedude]

In order to get the Frigidaire and (when it's ready) the Westy L5 into the basement, I have to make room and that means having to give up some vintage appliances...
Here's the first item I am hoping to sell - the 68 Simplicity Wringer. It works great but I haven't used it in nearly 8 years now!

Money shot

It's a bit dirty, but solid! Note the unusual white agitator.

 

[thomasortega]

How much?

Would you ship it to Brazil? (of course I'll pay for the freight)

Old Hoover compact wringer

I actually inherited this machine! I have had it for over 12 years and never used it! It was working when I last had the guts to plug it in (about 5 years ago now). The drain hose has deteriorated and needs to be replaced. Wringer rollers are still good, but cracking.

To Brazil?

Thomas, that would cost an arm and a leg and heaven knows how many other organs!! I can try and find out for you, though - what city in Brazil are you located in??

 

[thomasortega]

Iguassu

Porders with Paraguay and Argentina. (You can check the freight prices to Ciudad del Este - Paraguay too, please.)

 

[turquoisedude]

Near the falls??

I visited the area a few years ago! Just beautiful!
Let me see what I can come up with and I will let you know.

[thomasortega]

yes, I live in Iguassu, I drive only 10 minutes to reach the wonderful falls.

If I get it, please also consider it's weight plus the tub full of American laundry products.(Tide, Arm & Hammer, Borax, Bounce, etc.)

Do you have msn or yahoo? If so, please add [email protected]

 

[turquoisedude]

Email any time!

I use a corporate email server, Thomas, so I can receive your email at any time!! I am in the process of sending out a request for a quote from an international moving company.

 

[thomasortega]

Thanks!

 

[turquoisedude]

Ok, the ball is in motion - I have requested quotes from 4 international movers. It may take a day or two to get the answers, but I will let you know by email what comes up. Check my profile and if necessary, please add my email address to you contact list. I hope this won't be incredibly expensive... I paid nearly $3500 US to get the GE kitchen from Texas to Ogden!

 

[thomasortega]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

That's what I pay to bring a 40HQ Ft container full of electronics from Hong Kong to Paraguay.

Somebody please call 911 and bring me a defibrilator.

 

[thomasortega]

Please tell them it's only a junk washing machine that doesn't work and will never be able to be fixed, but I'm going to use it as a flower vase.

You can use any mexican soap opera script. cry, make some drama, make them believe this is just a POS.

Of course it's not but... if it helps to reduce the freight price, who cares?

 

[turquoisedude]

Yeah, I almost got divorced over that... Trouble is that I had no clue who to call and time is never on my side. Keep your fingers crossed about the quotes I've requested...
BTW - I actually visited Paraguay (well walked over the bridge) and Argentina when I was down in Igassu.

 

[thomasortega]

... So you know how the hell is..

I have to cross that F***ing bridge every day as I work in Paraguay. Everything is too ugly, dirty and poor here. There's a huge contrast between Iguassu and CDE.

 

[thomasortega]

Do you have any plans to visit iguassu again?

If so, please let me know.

I love to host, specially AW members. Ask Jbuscemi.

 

[turquoisedude]

I would love to!

Just don't know when... I was there because Hubby was attending a conference.
But you are so right about the contrast between Iguassu and CDE... It was unbelievable to think how much things could change from one side of the bridge to the other!

 

[bellalaundry]

Could I get,

some more pics of the Hoover wringer?

Thanks!
