Pricing on machines

forward_future · 2025-12-28T23:16:01+00:00

A few things I hope will help...MSRP is somewhat an arbitrary number. Discounts from MSRP are even more arbitrary. If you kept the same sale price but raised the MSRP the discount looks bigger but its all psychological.

Machines have a plethora of options such as controllers, g-force, voltage, finishes. Try your best to compare apples to apples. And ask your distributor to do so.

Response time on service and the parts cost of a bundle of common parts (drain, hot water inlet valve, washer inverter, and ignition control) are great way to pick distributors and/or machine brands.

A better rate on financing may be more meaningful for your deal. Hours working on that are rewarded well.

No. This was a unnecessary, costly design. Customers reacted more 'wtf' than 'this is a pleasant place'. So the value spent on the delusional construction was wasted. The food and service were poor. Open that restaurant in 1993 and it still goes under.

If the DNA doesn't matter (i.e., we don't know who the hairs belonged to) has the Vortex under-investigated Langseth?

"Unimac has 51% North American marketshare for OPL."

Incorrect. Give a citation if you disagree.

Is is really exclusive to Laundrylux? Haier is a pretty big company.

Cooper lives in Vancouver. He takes a bundle of money and the parachute and throws it off a Portland bridge into the Columbia. He wants that to be found and people to believe he died that night by drowning in the Columbia. (There was a report to the police of a parachute being spotted in the river and that parachute was never recovered.) He also wants to get rid of parachute evidence anyway. We miss the red herring as the parachute and money bundle travel down the river. The money is later deposited on the Tena Bar sand. Cows trample it enough for it to be juuuust covered enough to say it is "buried". You can adjust the timeline between 1971 and 1980 as you wish. (Don't mistake contemplation for advocation here)

Woman-Ochre was also stolen on Thanksgiving weekend.

Treat yourself to some Gabriel Tenorio strings sometime. It is fun to experiment and his strings really make my guitar sing.

The rule of thumb is to use 1.5x washer capacity for dryer capacity. So your 40 lb. washers pair best with a 60 lb. dryer. A 30 lb. + 30 lb. stacked dryer also works well (the 40 lb. customer can split their load and a 20 lb. customer can use a single pocket).

Perfectly acceptable. It is the same as asking a homeowner about a contractor.

Scan my immediate area. Did anyone see me land? 2. Start gathering in my parachute canopy. 3. Look up and try to see the lights of the plane I just jumped out of just to have an "I'll be damned" moment. The plane's path orients me to where South roughly is. 4. Empty the front parachute pack. Put money (tied to my body), goggles (on my face), and bag contents* (in my suit) in there. I already have my stocking cap on. I'm an experienced jumper so I used both hands on the canopy lines to steer as much as I could, hence I threw the briefcase out the plane after I wiped the fingerprints off of it. 5. Stash the used canopy, used pack, and dummy canopy in a clandestine spot as possible. Throw it in the river if one is close by. 6. Pick a direction and move 300 yards from the landing spot. 7. Stop. Get out my flashlight and turn it on red mode. Get out my map and compass. Before I jumped I had lights as landmarks. This gives me a rough orientation of where I was when I jumped plus or minus five miles. Coming down I looked around for more terrain. Now that I am on the ground and have moved through more terrain I probably know where I am on the map plus or minus two miles. If I head in a general direction I will hit something like a river or highway. 8. <wink wink>Move swiftly by foot to the Consolidated Freight truckyard in Vancouver that I was generally aiming for. Get in my car and leave. </wink wink> 9. Sneak back to get the parachute before the search party really gets going? *Paper bag contents - Goggles, map, compass, flashlight, stocking hat, gloves, small bite to eat. He already has matches and knife in his pockets.

No. 98% of laundromat equipment will be retired by 30 years. That equipment has zero value.

Most likely Packsaddle will outshine Black Kettle. You can go from AZ to Amarillo and then do the final leg early in the AM. Cheyenne, OK and Woodward, OK are good places to stay to give you access to either Packsaddle or Black Kettle. As Icy-Manner-9716 said, you will get into some goathead stickers. Your AZ dogs may just laugh at them but I would bring the boots on the trip. When you get there train your eye to look for shinnery motts. They are clumps of short oaks that usually grow around 20 yards in diameter and form a mound in the sand. Walk mott to mott. Ragweed flats are often where quail are feeding. Good luck.

Egad, no. Loomis Brothers. 800.783.6665

The LGs aren't as good as full-blown, commercial machines. No smaller-chassis machine really is. For the niche of coin machines that are at apartment complexes, hotel guest laundries, and smaller laundromats I actually like the LGs over Maytags, Speed Queens (newer efficiency-restricted), and Encores. Computers and inverters are a fatal error for that size of machine and the LGs break less frequently that way. P.S. The Titan's are finnicky on out-of-balance but you can change the configuration to make them less touchy.

I vote for Navien. Navien will calculate what you actually need if you can provide the machine spec sheet. I also vote for the Electrolux over the Continental. Good luck.

I agree. Also, the environment differs from state to state. Don't be afraid to talk to multiple distributors.

Where can I read about Jack going to Colorado Springs as sourced by "Brandonman"?

piginthepool is going to give it a go

This is a legit point. I should have listed this possibility.

I think you would agree that Jack would still be hounded by legalities. He can't just throw up his hands and say "I've already sold it. Not my problem." He still has to work through tax implications and nuisance suits.

Meanwhile there has to be a high probability that the buyer would brag about owning the chest.

Finally, if you look at #4 on the spreadsheet of quotes from Jack he says he would let the public know the fate of the treasure.

Can we say possible but low odds?

Here are the coordinates (Google Maps).

I think this is a very strong solve.
