Whilst I am on the subject, does anyone have a decent slant- front Laundromat around this vintage they would like to sell me to match my dryer (preferably closer to the 99 cents I paid for MY dryer, not the $150,000 they want) or even a matching pair in the midwest/northeast area?
Oh my and I am only 124 miles away too! I don't think i will jump on this bid any time soon. Talking about drugs, wasn't this the type of Westinghouse in the 1967 or '68 movie "Wait Until Dark?" A doll full of drugs was put in the washer or dryer during the movie? Just wondering? Gary

Gary It was a Laundramat
In "Wait Until Dark" ; iirc, it was about three years olde
than the dryer for sale.

What is mint condition these days? I think I see a rust spot on the left side. And the baffles are far from mint. Silly that they are too lazy to w(h)ipe the thing down for that money. Must be a real disappointment when they don't sell it. LOL

Wow!
It is a little frightening to think that some of these people vote. "It could be worth more than I am selling it for." Well, with that kind of logic, I guess anything is possible.Maybe we should all go and morgage the house and buy it..........Just testing you
..i have things in my life, some for over twenty years, that when I bought them, they were throwing them out, now they are hot,hot, hot. Just because I am courious, how do you get a rust spot on a mint condition dryer and still ask a mint for it?
PS: Maybe he failed to mention all of the money that is in the dryer after many years of use, as well as the bars of gold that he will throw in as a premeum.Just a thought
Robert, Oh wise one, what is this thing really worth? Unrestored the way it is? I would say 200-300 would be my guess..........please enlighten us!!

OMG
It's really kind of funny that they think it's worth that much money...I wonder what other "get rich quick" schemes they've come up with! Is there any end to people’s delusions?

and for that price, they could have/ should have staged it.
I mean look at it. There is all kinds of marks all over the front. and that tacky tension belt wrapped around it. It's like they were getting ready to take it to the local transfer stage to put in the metal bin and someone who has drank to many beers said "Let take a picture and try and sell this! (ah-doyh)"

FYI
Just so you all know! I am the one selling the dryer, and the reason the price is so high is because I have recently found out I have cancer! I am 26 years old and All I want is to be able to pay my medical bills and go see my fucking family in california before It's too late, but thank you all so much for your attention to me. GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear about your situation. <br
But it would seem to me that if you're needing money, you would put a REASONABLE price on it, so it would be assured of selling. At that price, you're going to have it a long time, and just be paying EBay fees. My opinions are given freely, value accordingly <br

I'm sorry about your cancer, that's awful. But it doesn't say so in your ad so you can't hold that against us. You might have to look for other funds, this dryer is not going to bring you that kind of money <br

Well first off all let me say whesleysgirl I am very sorry to hear about you recently diagnosed medical condition. <br
But let’s put some logic to all of this, so you found our website and our Discuss-o-Mat, but did you notice on our home page is a button for our Wanted/Reward Page? If not here is a link to it: Wanted/Reward Page. Please make no mistake we have been buying and selling these machines for years and this website is the one and only place in 2007 that you will find experts on vintage automatic washers, dryers and dishwashers. We know them inside and out and we also know exactly what they are worth <br
Now it clearly states in the first paragraph of the Rewards page “Rewards may be offered for early dishwashers and a few very rare dryers too“. Unfortunately vintage automatic dryers are just not as rare as vintage automatic washers. Now if you look at the listing for Westinghouse Laundromat Washers, which now you see are more valuable than the dryers, they are listed as a reward value of $200. So then listing a vintage dryer on eBay for $5,000 that is worth at best between $75 and $150 would make any person here call in to question the sellers sanity or at least the knowledge of what they really have. While I am sorry that you had to read some of the ridicule that we all participated in the above posting, you really can't blame any of us here. I don't know who has giving you the advice that this machine is worth so much money, but they are clearly mistaken. So the only advice we can offer you is if you really want to sell the dryer you are going to have to lower your price to something more in the range of the dryer’s true value.

An open letter to Whesley's girl also sent via email:
You can ask whatever you want for anything and we can make fun of it. I think your profanity-laced cancer sob story is a fabrication (and a very sick ruse if it is). But I would WELCOME the chance to help you if I am wrong (because I am a nice guy, not out of guilt nor because I think your dryer is worth $500 let alone $5000). Simply email me privately with your real name and phone number and the name and phone number of your oncologist. Give them permission, in advance, to verify that you have terminal (you did say 'too late'?) cancer to me. After I corroborate their legitmacy as physicians in the state of Illinois, I will speak with them. If your story holds water, I will personally purchase you a coach round trip ticket (with the requisite 21 day advance notice) from Chicago or St Louis to any major California city of your choice for the duration of your choice. I BEG you to prove me wrong and take me up on it! Step up to the plate! I will keep the bboard members apprised (omitting your personal info, of course).
