There is a crappy 20 something year old washing machine for sale on Trademe (ebay equivalent).
This guy has a sharp sense of humour and has been on the evening news,radio stations, and all over facebook.
Makes a good read if you've got some time
Bidding currently about 3 times the cost of a new one
