Bought a pair of GE washer and dryer, but…

§ October 16th, 2008 § Filed under slice of life

We bought a pair of GE washer and dryer off a co-worker of the big boy. The co-worker just recently moved in with the boyfriend, so they were trying to get rid of the extra pair of washer and dryer quick and cheap. The pair were at least $900 when they were bought new from the store 9 months ago, we got them for $200, it’s a good deal, isn’t it?

The washer worked just fine, but T only found out we have electric hook up at the laundry room in the basement, and the dryer needs a gas hook up! Alas, we have to sell the dryer and get an electric one. We listed the gas dryer on craiglist.com yesterday, to sell it for $150.

We had a couple of people called or emailed to inquire immediately, one guy suggested we trade with his 3 years old electric dryer (he just moved into a house that has no electric hook up, only gas hook up), another guy is going to come by this Saturday to look at it and may take it right away!

If we manage to sell the dryer for the asking price of $150, that means we only pay $50 for the washer! It’s quite a crazy experience, isn’t it?

*We ended up selling the dryer to a Mexican couple who hardly speak any English for $100 !
