When did we get so stupid?

[Chris142]

Our washing machine blew up so we bought a new stacked set. So now I have our old dryer we don't need. I have it for sale on FB marketplace.

In my add I said that it uses PROPANE. I keep getting people asking if it uses natural gas or electric. People can't read anymore?

I've never heard of a propane dryer.

I believe my parents used butane.

Can it be run on natural gas with a different burner?

Ask someone selling an old 1980s Mercedes whether they get asked if it's a diesel.

How much do you want for your coal dryer?

Our old house, we had listed that it had propane gas and dryer. New buyer planned to bring his newly bought... electric ones. Good luck with that, what with 60A service. Somehow both he and his realtor missed that detail.

If time is money, is this why some people just write it off and toss things out? How much of your time is selling something allowed to take up of your time, before you decide, it's not worth it...

Although I do wonder, if trolls live on the internet, might they also live in FB too? Costs them nothing to ask stupid questions and waste your time. How they get their kicks from that, I dunno.

Propane dryers are converted natural gas dryers. Orifice swap and regulator adjustment.

Usually not cost-effective to convert a second hand one unless you get it cheap.

I tease my kids often by saying, “It sure is gassy outside.” The necessities of life being we buy dryers when there is still cheap moving earth gas outside, until someone charges you for it or builds a wall around you.

I can't comment on the mentality of the general public; I'll get in trouble with the moderators again.

Really? Odd. Natural gas is relatively new around here. My area is still propane delivery only

 

[SupremePossum]

I grew up in the UK, even Natural Gas dryers don't really exist there. I was blown away when I moved here to the USA

Wouldn't it be cheaper to use electric in your case?

Not at our electric prices. We don't have ac,sit in the dark etc and our bill is still $600 a month.

Maybe there just confused when they read Propane . I never knew they made one either .

Our heat,stove and dryer all run propane. Natural gas is not available in my area.

A propane dryer can probably be run on natural gas though

Yes it can with a jet change
