Oh Greg those are beautiful machines, congratulations!

I hate when people on Ebay attempt to take advantage of people like that. Have there been sets that have sold for more? Yes, but in new or at least better condition than these apparently are, or a rarer survivor.
 
Beautiful machines Greg. Yellow was always a favorite of mine. I had a friend growing up who had a set like those in the laundry area in the garage. Fun to watch until his mom caught us and sent us on our way. The kitchen was all GE in yellow. Looked pretty sharp. Those are well taken care of. Enjoy them and we hope to see some video soon.

I have this set of pink 'Tags with all push-button controls now. I 'made' the washer from a 160 washer panel that I put onto a 700 cabinet. I found the 160 washer at an estate sale, as some who were here in 2005 for our convention, one day before the convention started. The washer was white and in beautiful condition. A while later, I found the pink 700 washer and the 900 dryer shown in pink so I switched the washer panel. I've never liked this very much - the authenticity just was non-existent since the 160 cabinet has a lip on the top of the front panel and the off-balance & lid switch are very different from the 160 to the 700 series. I gave the original white cabinet to Ben which he later returned and I've been intending to rearrange the laundry rooms this summer and return the all-button panel back to it's original cabinet. Blah, blah, blah.... then this yellow set shows up now so it throws two more machines in to the mix and I'm going to have to not only do some rearranging, but find new homes for a couple of 'Tags in the process. (You may also remember that 700 washer in white I brought home this summer from a house here in Omaha - very nice machine, churning away in the garage right now but we're awash in Maytags now so it may not make the cut!) Speaking of yellow, I know of a 142 washer and matching dryer here in Omaha - also in yellow - that will be needing a new home as well so the yellow may turn out to be not quite as rare as we think!

Long story - short (too late!) thanks for all the great comments, I hadn't intended to hijack the thread for these but I will post some more pics this weekend of the yellow set.

Update.....

As I mentioned I sent a message to the seller in FL that wants $2K for the set... and I received the following reply:

"Thanks for your opinion. I paid $2000 including shipping and thats what would make me part with them because I LIKE them."
 
I wouldn't give anything more than $200 at the most.

Here is my Turquois set and I only paid $250 for them and they are fully functional
