Duh!
When I see a listing like this and KNOW that the age is grossly understated, I have to wonder if the seller is pulling something, or is just bascially that stupid.............

Yes, those are pre-1980
I also can't decide where the seller is coming from. Part of me says that he doesn't know what he has and part of me says that he's trying to pull a fast one.
They look like they're in pretty good shape.
Check out the door for the pilot light on the dryer. (Which, if memory serves, has the lint filter awkwardly located in the back of the dryer drum.)

I have a pair of 1982 Maytags, and the gas dryer has the same access panel for the pilot, and has the lint filter below the door opening.

I agree with drmitch, these look like 1978's.
They are the newer style,the dryer has the large door.Still over 10 years old,though.The seller probably owned them 10 years.

People really are that stupid.
I have seen so many older washing machines that people are trying to sell and the seller says they are only five years old. They really do have no idea, most of them cant even tell you want brand it is even though the brand name is there staring at them everytime they use the machine.
Just my 2 cents.

Seller is essentially clueless.

I'm so glad we are here to help
A lot of people can go through life without ever knowing what their appliances are brandwise, agewise, etc. I know one guy who didn't know he had an electric stove, actually thought it was gas. Stuff like this only perpetuates the myth of the ignorant male species. People not knowing these things gives me the willies

Ignorant male
Its not just Males, its Females too!
Things like how you could not know the brand name of your fridge, when you open the door on it 20 times a day!
David I bet your friend with the Electric stoves was pretty adamant that it was gas! They are so sure they know everything they are talking about and make you look/feel stupid.

Hey Arrrooohhh
Those kind of guys area dime a dozen. If you correct them on something and stand pat, first thing out of their mouth is "I really don't care anyway" which is the only way they can say "you win" without admitting defeat. I can only look at them like "you friggin idiot" and keep my mouth shut!
As for females, I've had less trouble with them not knowing things about their appliances. Sure their are some in that category. But females don't tend to be the BSers males are. I guess it is natural with chromosome XY.

Several years ago, upon getting acquainted with a new friend, I asked him what kind of washer and dryer he has. He (correctly) answered "Maytag Neptune." GW isn't quite at the 'duhhh' level of the typical person off the street. 
I think the truth comes down to is that there is some kind of unspoken bond males are just supposed to know. I was never taught this knd of "male thing" where an interest of appliances was concerned.
It's funny though it is usually a man who comes to the home to fix a "woman's appliance."
Other than what stereotypes i guess dictate,i personally find no shame in the areas of laundry, cooking, or dishwashing.
After all it just comes down to "someone has to do it"

gender bias
When I was a cute-little tyke, I was so into gender-roles (as I was taught) so that I could not understand male chefs, taylors etc.
Mom said (AND DONT SHOOT THE MESSENGER) "The best taylors and chefs are men."
Even MORE confusng, How did they get to be better if society does not like them to practice these things? THEN it hit me.. If you do it to raise kids you are in the XX role and if you do it to make $ you are XY role. Since those are traditional gender roles, the world rests at peace.
Telephone operators were first generally male, then became female.
Supermarket checkouts were generally female now seem to be male.
I still get a charge out of female construction workers and male nurses. But of course, HO, HUM its done more and more.
When I fell into a cleaning business the ladies gobbled it up. My sister was bed-ridden after giving birth and was a lovely shade of green. Constant parade of well-wishers. Then one day someone realized her hubby was working constatantly and wife sick in bed "How-get-clean-the-house?"
mother? NO
Mother-in-law? GET REAL
LIL OLE ME!. (I was between jobs)
How fast did I get hired. I made a fortune.
See, I cleaned behind the stove, W&D, and ref
and did the big heavy jobs. [Achance to paly with them and run them!!!!} Ran a self-clean cycle in the oven and did laundry simultaneously. In my 3 to 4 hour stints I was a whirlwind..and charged a premium too.
Psychlogically a woman hiring a woman was maybe hard for them. (I'm better than her and I can do this myelf")I was told (Again don't shoot the messenger) "Women don't clean like you" Apparently I was a temporary surrogate hsuband who did the big stuff. And I told them flat out YOU can easily vacuum the middle, that bores me. Let me do the hidden stuff.
I shot myself in the foot by being flexible and letting them cancel and reschedule up-the-kazoo. Gave it all up eventually.

too complicated
Maybe now, since cars are too complicated and computerized, the male instinct to tinker and conquer things mechanical had to be, and is now, re-channelled into major appliances.
Funny too is that I had to train my mom that starting a washer or dishwasher cycle [mechanical timers then] at poitions other than "start" was OK. She had a big "Oh" when she found out that she could dial up a second rinse or a pre-wash.
Or that on her center dial 'tag dryer from 1965 that the PP cycle (lol.. that's permanent press folks, HA HA) had a 10 minute coll down rather a than a 5 minute cool down on "normal". On that BOL model she had, the temp was the same. So I convinced her to use to to avoid some wrinkles.
We won't even get into using a 10 to 15 minute "air-fluff" [no heat] to de-wrinke before unloading.
If the clothes sat in the dryer overnight I recommended a wet piece of cloth and 5 minutes with heat and 10 without. Worked like a charm. She just shook her head in amazement.
I always liked science and this is all just appled (to real life) science! LOL
