  • Answer to “Deal Or No Deal ?”#1

    April 5th, 2007 by markdownmom

    Well, the Ekco Egg Beater never made it off the block.  No bids were made.  The major factor affecting its’ marketability is that this is a handheld, non electric kitchen gadget.  Therefore, its’ popularity would be limited to egg beater collectors and possibly 1950’s lovers of kitsch, and is not a true crossover.

    It does have a version of the spade handle of Ekco beaters of that era and a high speed center drive and red is a highly collectible color.  The value of this item is listed between $18-$25

    If a bid had been placed at $5 with shipping at $6.90–remember to include these costs in framing your bid–for a total of $11.90 which if reselling at 2½ times cost would mean to resell this item for a decent profit, you would have to get slightly under $30, which is over the top end of its’ valuation. 

    This copy will be added to the original listing, so be sure to print it out and save for your MDM Estate Liquidator’s Reference Book.  This weekend check for  "Deal or No Deal? #2."
