What is your washer worth

[fltcoils]

1955 till 2008
consumer price index = 828%

so a washer costing $300 in 1955 is equivalent to $2484 now.

A witness to the real value to consumers back then.

Try this-

My Maytag, new in 1997 at around 600, would be priced at 785.00 in 2007, if (if!) an equivalent was available.

Since there is no equivalent....

I have added a link to The Inflation Calculator.

Between $5-$10.00 each, at the scrapyard, depending on how much other steel I throw in the tub! 8^)

Our Whirlpool Electronic would go for $1752.82 in today's dollars.
