Pardon my cynicism gang...

Does anyone even know for sure if the person who posted here, claiming to be the seller of the Antique *1953* Westinghouse Clothes Dryer, is the actual seller? I guess I've grown cynical, but I just don't take everything someone says at face value anymore. I do most of the time, until I have reason not to trust someone, but this just seems fishy IMHO. Fabricating stories has become all too common these days. If this is the actual seller, I sure would hate to think they would make up a story about having cancer to elicit sympathy or make people feel bad about sharing their opinions.

Also, even if the cancer scenario is true (and I'm very sorry if that is the case), the seller was not forced to read this thread. She must have gone out of her way to find it, or have already been aware of its existence. And, even though I may not agree with all of the opinions expressed here, the purpose of the forum is to facilitate discussion isn't it? Again, maybe I'm off the mark, but something seems fishy here. (Could it possibly just be someone trying to cause a stir?)

Now, in the seller's defense...

Even though I too think the price is outrageous, I also believe that more power to the seller if they can find a buyer willing to pay the asking price. (We still live in a free market society don't we?) For what it's worth, the way I look at it, nobody's holding a gun to my head to buy it. Another way to look at it is that it's all relative. Yes, to most the price seems ridiculous; however, to someone from a third world country (that's probably not PC, so excuse my ignorance), spending money buying multiple washers and other assorted appliances must also seem excessive and an extremely poor use of money that could be spent buying food and supplies for the less fortunate. Just something to think about...
 
Ebay is a public forum, open for anyone to see what is available regardless of if one even has an account.

If a person is going to take the time to advertise on Ebay, or Craigs, or become a public official, or an actor, one is opening themselves to any number of results, one of which is critizism. No one, after all, yes, no one, is beyond question.

The story doesn't matter and it doesn't work. Nor does signing into a chat room with 100 people to beg for understanding.

Good luck IF they can get what they are asking. Really ! But let's face it most people, and especially the smart members here at AW.org ain't going to be buy'n whesleysgirl's blabber.

Really, we should be flattered.
 
I too noticed some of the seller's recent purchases. As a boy who has not had cancer, I can't imagine with certainty what would be at the top of the shopping list for a girl WITH cancer, however, my feeble mind thinks Bibles and Cancer-related literature would take precedence over provocative clothing. More likely, though, I probably wouldn't be spending time on ebay at all except to SELL junk I had acquired (at realistic prices) to unburden my family of having to do so in the unfortunate event of my expiration. And curiously no mention of the cancer on the ebay description? It has a much broader audience than does this. I've read plenty of auction descriptions on there with chartitable pleas for help vis-a-vis the item being sold. It also occurred to me, buffster, that, before I make good on my promise to buy a ticket, I need to verify that the email address used here AND on ebay are the same.
 
Well, my two cents

i am not a mean person, nor am I am melicious guy, but when I was sick and dying, I was not online buying clothes, and spendy ones at that.I was laying in bed, crying and hoping for a Miracle, which happened i am happy to say. That was over ten years ago, and I am healthy and happy. if she has cancer, I I hope that she gets better, although, from what I can read on her profile for E-bay, I would say that there is no doubt that there is some spin going on, and it is not in the dryer. i did not need a flatening iron, I needed something to stop my hair from falling out,I was a real mess, and I do mean real big mess. From what The evidence points only one way, it does not add up, nor make any sence.

 
Only about 2 1/2 hours left. Will a large contingent of last minute bidders swoop in an snatch (eww, I swore) this puppy up?
The suspense is building.

NA, Na. Donn-t Be metten wit da Judy.

Shes good. I like her.
