On the curb in New Jersey, scrappers surely will get to it but perhaps worth a shot.

I sent a message to Yogitunes.... he's trying to contact the "seller" now!
Sadly Seller Has Only The CL Advert
System (meaning email) for contact information.
That part of the New Jersey shore isn't exactly Times Square on Christmas Eve, but scrappers or anyone else on the prowl might just come upon it.

This is interesting
Someone in Ocean City was *GIVING* away a very nice Maytag wringer. Thing was gorgeous and even included the original plastic cover that it was stored under.
Of course by the time one saw the CL listing it was gone. Well it was four days later but guess someone jumped on it ASAP. In particular there is someone with *Wanted Maytag Wringer* ads for CL in NY, NJ, and PA.
Am guessing since the person in my OP just put the thing out for whomever to collect they didn't want to be bothered with calls/emails and or other forms of contact.

So often that is the case with craigslist 'curb alert' ads... The person who wants to get rid of the item simply doesn't want the potential hassles of "Oh, I can't get there now, but can you hold it until next November?".
It's bad enough trying to sell stuff these days with the 'no shows' that I really do understand why a curb alert ad poster would not want to include contact data.
On a happier note, there are no known sex offenders in the vicinity of where the washer was sighted...

Sorry if this turns into a CraigsList rant....
Unlike the "majority" of Craigs List posters, I do put contact info so I know when (if) someone is coming to pick it up and can delete the ad as soon as it's been picked up.
It really does piss me off when someone calls or texts, asking for my address, then never shows up! I tried repeatedly to GIVE away a coin-op GE filter flo I picked up for free, then stripped a couple parts off it. 3 people contacted me saying "Oh yeah I'll be there in 2 hours" or "At 3 pm"... but then don't show.
I even tried a "curb alert" listing the address and saying "come get it".. but nothing. Even had it on the curb for trash day and normally that's a for sure thing, but nope. It's been sitting here over a month now.

Well, that's decent of them at least... Let's hope Martin got there before the scrappers!

I do respect them for deleting the posting in a timely manner, I can't stand getting excited for something that was gone two weeks ago just because the poster is lazy, It borders on needless taunting. Let's just hope this ended up at a good home and didn't find a way to the recycle bin.
well, first thanks to everyone for their insights to finding this....
thanks to Kevin for chatting with me on the phone for the ride home, its a long dark ride in the middle of nowhere....
the guy came out and helped me load it......about the most he knew was it hadn't been used in 50 years....
the pulleys all turn at this point, looks like some oil has spilled out....will know more as I get time to plug it in, and see what happens.....

and a few tags attached to the back.....
for the experts, what does this little button on top of the control panel do?
probably either an overload switch or a water-saver.

Yes! Had a feeling you'd be zooming down the GSP! *LOL*
Good thing it is during the week and before Memorial Day starts the season.

Great find!
Congrats on a great find! Yes, riding on dark lonely roads can be nerve racking, but it's oh so worth it on the drive home! I love the streamlined styling of this model...very cool! Enjoy your "new" Norge!
