Hmm...

"I tried to find it last night and couldn't, but I have a picture somewhere of a woman illustrated in front of the machine, fluffing her hair."

A 50-amp dryer used to dry hair! So- I'm guessing this was not an Energy Star-rated appliance, huh? ;-)
 
Is 50amp service even allowed by code for residential wiring anymore? That is allot of power!

As for the auction, it isn't over until it is over. Much of the eBay action these days takes place the last hour and few minutes/seconds of an auction.

Not withstanding the above statement, it may also simply be another case of thems that want being too far from the unit.

Stoves. Sometimes a 40a circuit sometimes a 50a circuit.

Can this dryer be dumbed-down to work on a 30 electrical line? Pehaps by disconnecing (and this is pure conjecture) one of two heating elements?
 
Yes you can wire the dryer to run on 30 amps only, but running this 50amp dryer at full power on a 40amp circuit should be fine as well. It maximun amperage draw is while it is running is just slightly above 30 amps. It's only for a few seconds that it peaks over 40 amps when the heater is energized.

No takers?? I think the seller got greedy by listing the room heater seperatly and that turned off a lot of people.
