My bad, it is actually next thursday that it closes.

If you want to buy it I can hold onto it here till you figure out a way to self-teleport the machine to your place from my place - wife, cat and anything metallic not included...

Turns out his dinosaur drawings are fetching pretty good coin in aid of charity. Not bad for a scary washing machine owner...

Checked it out, edited my post, still working on the long powercord.

I've got about a hundred and fifty metres of powercords, and I reckon I could find twenty or so powerboards around the house, do you think it'll reach?

Jetstar are already on it...

I have two 20metre power cords you can borrow and a RCD safety switch here for when you reach the Tasman.

It sold for NZ $5,160 dollars for an old 1980's era washing machine.
806,217 views
Something in excess of 13,000 watchers.

Spin-offs include:
Dinosaur drawings selling for $300 plus toward charity
Dinosaur tee-shirts

Pretty good marketing lesson.

Auction finished but still up on google but this link still works also Scary washing machine. No really, its terrifying! for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand

Oh, I think we have enough agitators over your way as it is
