Vintage Pink Washer and Dryer Set

turquoisedude

Saw your link in your profile with your neat GE vintage 'turquoise' appliances. I've never seen a configuration like that before. And the remodeling you all did is just so impressive. I had to tell you that.

I keep hoping Chris will get the little pink set.

well still no word hum..

 

[retromania]

Still no word about what Chris?

 

[christfr]

well i told the seller i would pass this info on to all memebers.. she said she did her research and she wants 1400.00 for the set but will work with the buyer a bit.. so im out of this race..

 

[rp2813]

im out of this race..

And I suspect everybody else here is too.

 

I hope she enjoys dusting.

she said she did her research and wants 1400.00 for the set

 

 

Hmmm... I wonder exactly what "research" she did to make her think she can get that price for them.  

 

Good luck with that Jen!

 

[retromania]

That's excessive!

 

[retromania]

Gosh. I wonder how much I'm going to have to fork over for a vintage 40" range when I finally find one!?!

Mon Dieu!

She certainly didn't do her research here.

Something tells me the pretty restored appliances at AntiqueAppliances.com were the yardstick.

Not many people outside this hobby understand the difference between their basement or garage or estate find and the expensively restored units there.

Oh, well. I wish her success.

$1400!

I'll sell my mint green deluxe set for $700. 

 

Seriously, put down the crack pipe.

 

[hydralique]

$1400?

It's that damned Pink Tax again!

 

[westingman123]

Oh, Lord.

No wonder she took her time to respond. I do hope she takes care of them, as I don't think they're going anywhere soon.

There's acutally some truth to that though. I've seen pink toilets for asking prices of $600 or more when the same exact make and model in white usually goes for $25 or free.

 

Anything over $500 for a rare set like this that has not been meticulously restored and in perfect working condition is just ludicrous.

 

[christfr]

well maybe one day she will find a buyer maybe her maybe not just hope they dont hit the trash..

 

[westingman123]

Well, I would think that if no one responded to the--ahem--rather high price she's started at, she'd rethink her position.

After all, some money is better than just throwing them away, right? Those are too pretty for color TV. Damn pink tax.

Hello everone,

I am willing to come down on the price. I want these to go to someone who will aprreciate them and not to the dumpster. I asked earlier for fair prices and no one was willing to throw one out there. So if anyone is interested name a price. By the way, i don't appreciate the "crack pipe" remark either.
