This is pretty amazing..........

Pardon Our Interruption...

 

[goatfarmer]

Quite a collection!

 

[Unimatic1140]

This auction was on here a couple of weeks ago, the opening bid was $250,000. No bidders so I guess they are trying again.

 

[Timonator]

Jimmy get your checkbook ready!

You Need this stuff! all you need now is a big building to put it in LOL

 

[gansky1]

The price is headed in the right direction at least.

$250k was insane but still, $7000 and no washers!

 

[filterflo]

$7,000 really would be a fair bid on this collection, but lord only knows what the reserve would be......It would cost more than that just in moving and storage fees! But it sure is a nice collection,,,,,,,I admire how clean and neat everything is.......unlike a lot of "collectors" that just throw everything in a warehouse or stack and call it a collection...... That aqua GE range from 1955 is fabulous, and so are some of the appliance ephemera that are on display...........
HEY RICH!!! Lets go to the auction, its not that far from us.....we could come home with all the washers they didnt show!

 

[launderess]

Not to rain on the seller's parade, but think this auction violates eBay's TOS. If one understands correctly, the huge opening bid is nothing more than to keep anyone from buying the lot for that amount. Entire listing is nothing more than "free" advertising for an auction taking place next weekend.

They have no shame some people. It would be interesting if someone called the man's bluff and bid up to and at the reserve, just to see what he does. If nothing else he would be on the hook to eBay for fees and their cut.

From the condition of the surface units, that GE stove is going to need some work. There are some real treasures here.

It would be wonderful if some folks from this group who are in/near PA could save some of these things...it really is an extraordinary collection, what a shame if the majority went to the crusher.

A Member????

Who is this???

 

[goatfarmer]

I don't think any of those are crusher bound anytime soon.....

auction

I think it would be fun to go to see everything in person (even if you don't buy anything). I wonder if there will be a large crowd ?

 

[trainguy]

Jimmy,

I think we're all out of room! But it would be exciting to see everything in person.

[gewa1054wguy]

Cool to see, even if a violation has occurred

Jimmy,

Thanks for the link. What a treasure trove! I think I even saw a P7 GE range/oven. If you go, I hope you get some cool stuff.

Aside from the negative comments about the auction......

It would be great to go just to see the appliance toys, banners, and other advertising items shown in the listing.......and also to find out how such a large collection came to be........surely its someone who truly loved appliances.......

This is the kind of auction collectors and resellers go for inventory. That red Chambers range probably will be snapped up by one of the vintage range shops. There is also lots of Hall stuff which does well in some markets.

By the way, did anyone see the vintage telephones up for grabs as well?

 

[gansky1]

Thanks L. I was perusing the auctioneer's pictures the other day when the link was posted again. No mention of any vintage washers, or dishwashers for that matter...
