Once while washing a load of towells it got a bit out of balance and it got so out of control for a minute that I swear I actually saw a porthole to another dimension open above it just for a second, there were dinosaurs on the otherside and they looked scared too, it almost sucked me in but I held onto for my life to the deepfreeze. It sucked my shoes and pants off though and it got the iron as well which pissed me off because it was quite a good one. Luckily it sucked it's own power cord out of the wall and stopped before the whole house went in.
I drew a picture of the dinosaurs i saw incase people didn't believe me, they are partly red because my green felt ran out half way through.

Answer: That was funny you said "Loads" meaning loads of money but also referring to "Loads" of washing, and this is a washing machine bah ha ha ha thats hilarious because it's a play on words. I'm going to write it down in my notebook so I can tell it to my friend who likes play-on-word jokes. He'll love this one. 5:41 pm, Tue 9 Jun

Not all of us... but we did have a very weird acid casualty guy living there for a while. He used to roam the hallways at night being weird, til we kicked him out. This was not the same guy as has the scary washing machine, that guy is cool.

Have you tried letting the washing machine swallow itself into the vortex and then no one would have to deal with it? Although you may need to retreat to a safe distance in order to survive the distruction until it disapears... great auction though! ashton_live (4 ) 12:19 am, Wed 10 Jun


Answer: Its an interesting concept but fundamentally flawed. If the washing machine opens the portal, without it what will close it again? I have to live here long term and I don't think i can sleep at night knowing that a raptor could just wander into the house. take another look at the drawing, would you want that tucking you in at night? Not me no way. How are they supposed to build a tunnel through Waterview if the cement keeps leaking into the Jurrassic period? 12:30 am, Wed 10 Jun

Why are you even doing the washing? Don't you have a wife? moochiecat (109 ) 8:50 am, Tue 9 Jun

Well I DID...I didn't bring that up as I didn't want to put buyers off. I'm afraid it took her too. It's ok though at least she still has the iron.

Seller Comment: Oh and watch close-up tonight. I had the bearded man himself in my house today. I bet they'll edit out the bit where the portal appeared as inter-world portal travel and dinosaurs is more the Discovery channel's cup of tea. Some bats came out this time and it was real dark in the portal. I never knew Mark Sainsbury was a Ninja did you? He actually karate-chopped a bat in half right down the middle, in the air, it was amazing.


and t-shirts!

Interesting... My landlord's son offered me a washing machine for cheap about a month ago. Could this be the demon machine I missed out on?

um not really, as I suspected its been purchased by a marketing company who will no doubt get far more than $5160 worth of advertising out of it.

trademe auction has over 800,000 views.

Yeah. Do these people realise that it's just a washing machine? What made this so big was the crazy shit spun by the guy selling it, not the washing machine itself that these dorks bought.

yeah and biggie is just a site of full of the irrelevant ramblings by the likes of you lot but it still makes money.

you guys + marketing = fail.

But it's not, and a washing machine is still just a fucking washing machine, no matter how creative the story the guy selling it is.
[quote]
If it ends up raising loads of money for charities then that's awesome.

Though it is ridiculous that it sold for that price.. so much for a recession... heh.

5k is absolutely nothing out of an advertising budget like that of 100% Electrics.

People are paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to come with ideas that generate exposure like this.

Just because they get paid lots doesn't mean advertising types aren't fucking morons.

That doesn't mean it's a good idea.
