He should have tested it but I also get the feeling the defendant knew it was defective to begin with. Just a gut feeling.

He could have gotten a brand new washing machine from Lowe's for $400

She knew that washer was crap when she sold it to him that's messed up

One tip I picked up over the years, as an occasional seller at least, is if someone's coming to pick something up usually they have to come into your house so rather than asking them if they want to inspect it working, just turn whatever it is on as they're coming in. That way it negates people saying they don't want to test something for whatever reason, there's also a small psychological reason in that sometimes people assume inspecting something running will take time or just can't be bothered but if it's already on as they get there or as they're coming in it means they're more likely to actually stay to inspect it properly.

She knew it didn’t work well and I say that because she listed a whole slew of things that could be done wrong like she has been there before with that washer! Also lying about being gifted that washer and then got gifted a washer set out of no where girl bye

Funny that JM is saying that talking on the phone is better, but that provides no evidence like a text message does, which is always what she wants to see. :)

I went to buy a used washer...when I got there the woman explained it had been "acting up" and the repair man said it was a hose, but wasn't positive. She ended up giving it to me for free and my bf didn't have any problems setting it up!! There are SOME honest people out there...then there's people like this woman 🤦🏼‍♀️

The defendant knows full well it had issues, shes sitting there making idiotic smirks and laughing.

She's probably saying yes we sucker him. We got rid of that peace of crap.

400 for a used washing machine ? Go buy a new one

If he's a longtime watcher and fan he should have known how this case was gonna end!

This man just described my exact issue with my last washer. I had buckets of sopping wet clothes all over...almost lost my mind. Pretttly sure the basin was out of balance. Ended up treating myself to a new one I was so frustrated 😠

Three years ago we purchased a brand new washer for a rental property from Home Depot for $421. Simple machine but works very well. They delivered, removed old machine and set up new machine for a small fee.

He got screwed. Just buy new or get a warranty.

I could never, in good conscience, keep the money after selling someone an item that isn't working. It's just indicative of bad character. The plaintiff was taken advantage of. Shameful.

Yes try before you buy, but there is also a level of integrity, there’s a reason y’all sold it lol

Does everyone see the passive aggressive KAREN. Listen to her tone so meek and mild and low tone to show that she is trustworthy. We all know that the machine was giving her issues and that’s why she offload it. LIAR!! Even if it worked when she and her husband hooked it up they knew how to make sure it works . Scammers!!

she was patronising him with the do this and do that, knowing she sold him a jacked up washer

All these comments demonizing the defendant are ridiculous. When buying USED items, the onus is on the buyer to do their due diligence. Used appliances are very iffy and people take their chances with them. Sometimes it works out, other times not. The defendant did nothing wrong here. People need to buy NEW items (with warranties) if they expect things to work perfectly for a long time.

I bet she was having problems out the washer and it was working intermittently; but I digress. I had the same problem with a whirlpool that was brand new from the day I moved. It had all these new sensors and was replaced atleast twice so I feel his pain....glad the machine is in my lease so I asked the landlord for a cheap basic model instead of the middle of the line it has worked fine ever since

He’s such a nice guy the plaintiff

The fact that she's reading off the computer her response shows her need to rehearse her lie

I love how they entertain these cases knowing it’s an as is yet they have to sit and ask all these questions lol so easy

She knew all along… you can tell by the continuous smirk on her face even before the case began. Just awful $400 bucks is a lot of money.

I wish the judge had asked why she was gifted with a new washer if the washer she was selling worked well.

Love ❤️ the connection between the Judge and her husband. 😊

She knew that washer didn’t work and she knew he would had to file a small claims case. She knew by law all sell are finale.

Misty, you sold him a twice-used, mostly-broken washer and advertised it as working well. Shame on you for screwing over a fellow human being.

A washer that's had 3 owners is no good and is bound to have problems.

Ah yes… You Spin Me Round by Dead or Alive. A Timeless classic🤣🤣🤣🤣

She literally gave him every opportunity to make sure it was to his liking and it was installed properly. His actions said “nah I’ll take it as is” then got mad it wasn’t working properly… sir are you slow?!

She definitely scammed him. People on Marketplace are super sketchy…

I believe this guy…that’s why she offered numerous times to hook it up to prove “it turned on n filled “ but knew Dam well it wasn’t going to work properly.. She wanted to get it off her hands and make some money.. rotten

She over charged him. Shouldve at least been 100 so he can use the other money to get it serviced 🤷🏾‍♀️

That defendant was obnoxious. She knew that thing was defective.

I'd never buy anything from anyone named "Misty," "Precious" or "Autumn." Just a personal prejudice of mine.

I completely don't agree with the judges at the end answering the question about shooting someone who breaks into your home and steals. Its not immoral to defend your property...what is immortal is theft and b&e. God the justice system is so messed up. 😪

He should have tested BUT she knew it was having that problem that’s why she was selling a lie.! Karma is not a good gift sweetheart 🤷🏿‍♂️

The seller knew that the machine was broken. It may work a little but there's a part that needs to be replaced on that washing machine.

I knew this was a " buyer beware" case BUT when the defendant was asked about the time of purchase...she got a little tongue tied lol ...either way she was going to win but I think she had issues which led to her selling her washer and dryer that she only had 1 year 🤔

Defendant was a scammer….she knew the trick with the reset button so even if he tested it she knew it would “work” that’s why they were getting rid of it after a year

The question at the end was bullshit and the judges saying it's immoral for a burglar to be shot by a trap, then win money later from the person they were stealing from and kept stealing from until the trap shot them....WTF!

What do you think she got rid of it because it didn’t work if you check the model number you’ll find out it’s probably 10 years old instead of three

17:34 JM; “ I know a good apiarist!” a line from “Dwight” from “The Office” a favorite show of both of these amazing Judges and people who clearly live, laugh and love life to its fullest! Good one JM! Thanks for the laugh! I loved that episode! 😂❤😂

It’s sooo important to look at the prices of things you are buying used to store prices.

I feel like the defendant got ripped off. It sounds like the motor was already burned out on the spin cycle and they passed it off to him.

I just brought a washing machine. It was $700 plus $135 for expanded maintenance, plus tax plus removal $35 of old one. Around $1k, you get what you pay for. A used washing machine from a private has no warranty. And he’s the third person who brought it!

400 $ he could have bought a new washing machine . ? Why didn’t he buy a new one ! No second hand for me .

Go to Lowe's or Home Depot. Save yourself the hassle.

I would have asked the defendant why was she selling a 1- ? year old washing machine. Hmmm… she has lovely hair extensions btw

I agree with the judge. You need to test items before buying.

Her face shows that she's a scam artist. But unfortunately he bought as is.

As someone that had one of those small Agitator energy efficient washing machines it's probably working as designed but putting more than 2 towels and it is just too much because those things are absolute trash which is why The defendant probably got rid of it. Another green idea that ended up using double the electricity an time to do half the load of laundry an barley got the clothes clean.

He should have just bought a new one for that price. This is crazy

Defendant knew the washer had issues, “Had it one year and was gifted one from a friend.” .. I would have told my friend thank you but I have one already give it to someone that needs one. But yet she keeps the free washer and sells hers that she’s only had for one year, she’s lying or greedy or both.

Don't buy those crap computer controlled machines. Stick with the good ol mechanical timer models.

Horrible woman. She knew there was an issue. I doubt if anyone gifted her a new machine. Doug was a little one sided on this one.

One vicious cycle 😂😂

I love the title..... especially when there's always a "skipping record" response from Adrian (as usual.....and thank you, Mr Prince, for satisfying my codependent nature - I wish I could just block him, but then I would have to find another alcoholic to get my daily fix)

Seems like a lot of pricey washers with all the bells and whistles have issues that affect performance within a few years. My basic top loading washer from '03 is still going strong.

Will he completely trust a stranger again is the question

“tHe TiMinG is jUsT unForTunATe” girl bye 😂

She knew it wasn't working or about to give out. When buying used always get it checked out.

plaintiff is ghetto smart and street wise , he bought a used washer and filed a lawsuit claiming it did not work to be paid 500 from peoples court in order to get a free washer with money left over . pretty smart ghetto man .

I HATE those type of washers with the nipple agitators they are so sensitive to everything. If you don't load it properly (you have to load it like a donut and not cover that nipple part) it won't work. Worst of all Is the amount of water it does the load with. 4 items or 9 items uses the same amount of water, not very much. I still have the washer cause I paid 500.00 for it years ago and iam gonna get my money using it before I die.😄

Ooh those earrings!!!

Based on his description I bet it’s a Samsung. They are notorious for problems with the washer. Defendant is right there are a bunch of things that need to be right for it to work. His description sounds like it wasn’t balanced so when there’s a big load it will just stop. He needed to balance it, then reset the spin cycle.

talking may be great for nuances, but then the Judge says "you have no proof" and chucks out your case. You lose.

Ok, just got "Dead Or Alive" vibes from the title of this lol.

She knew it was a bad washing machine. She should be ashamed. 400 dollar hunk of junk

Mizzmist - E, that's hilarious. Anyway, our house was 20 years old when we bought it, the washer and dryer are as old as the house, here it is 6 years later and they still work great. Some people just have bad luck with appliances. If you have to buy used, then buy from a used appliance shop that will give you at least some kind of guarantee like maybe 3 months or whatever, when you buy from a Mizzmist - E, you're taking your chances.

The washer looks like the same Whirlpool brand that I purchased from Lowe's a little over a year ago. The defendant probably had the same issues I am having. She knew it was a piece of junk when she sold it to him.

HD sells old school white washers for $400-500...😒

Officer arrest her. My washer doesn't work

This is exactly what happens when folks decide to purchase used items as oppose to new. I say it all the time that if you're going to buy used items, homes, cars etc..that you do so at your own risks and have no body to blame if or when things go wrong but yourselves.

Never ever move a washer or dryer without bracing the drum!

I feel sorry for ppl who doesn’t knw what “as is sale” means.

It was broken.......she telling him uh add diff soap small loads....count to 10 ....stand on ur head say a prayer lol .....she scammed him

Heifer . She knew that washer was broken

The defendant knew that the washer is faulty- why is someone going to replace a 3 yo washer, or someone give them one if it was fine? That being said , she sold a defective machine purposely to the plaintiff. The plaintiff should emphasize the wording in her ad, and the verbal comments she made , to show that she misrepresented the item - which I believe is the case. If the judge has some leeway and choice in the case, she should side with defendant. Return the washer and give the money back less $50 for delivering - that way both litigants would be back in the same state they were in the beginning and no harm is done .

Now why he make this case.🤣 Even I know when buying something like this I have to do a test or something before I paid. I know sometimes my old on it would work twice or three times. Then it would work and not spin. Then it will act like it's done again. Then shows it's not

Wow his voice is not what I expected lol

Too much money for the washer

Why do people think used items come with a warrantee?! AS IS

She knew that washer was Junk

WOOOOW THEY BOTH SEEMED LIKE NICE FOLKS SEE BUYING STUFF USE NOW ADAYS IS JUST LIKE BUYING NEW PRICE WISE I FEEL FOR THE PLAINTIFF OUT OF $400 HE COULD'VE BOUGHT A NEW WASHER PERHAPS NOT AS FANCY BUT @ LEAST IT WOULD'VE WK W/ A WARRANTY

Awh heck they knew it was garbage. That's why they were selling it

I wonder if he ever tried arranging everything in a donut (leaving the middle empty)? We had a similar machine without an agitator and someone suggested we try it. I’ve not had an unbalanced load (stopping the spin cycle) since.

A used washing machine, I don't know why people like other people's problems 😊, I'll put a washer and dryer on layaway if I have to to avoid that headache😂😂😂😂SHhh

Guarantee, he put too many towels in it at same time! My washer does this & its a brand new, huge front-loader! Any machine won’t spin right if you overload it!!!! (400 for a 3-yr. old washer is pretty good deal actually considering brand new ones - depending on brand, are easily upwards of 1,000 these days).

And can be something stuck in the washing machine. I have a stackable and one day the machine filled with water and stopped working. The repairman took the from panel off and fished inside and found a sock that stopped the machine. So never just throw two to three things and expect the machine to work right.

I love how well spoken he is!!! I hope she didn't scam him!!! I understand how frustrating these things can be!

It's a washer. Not a magic machine. It should be simple to use. Anything else is extra and nonsense. User error. WTH

Some of these washers have to be level for them to run correctly especially the spin cycle usually won't come on unless it's level.

That lady knew

When you transport machines sometimes you trip a reset switch .

The ad said that the washer worked like new, then gave a list of things to “try” to get it to work correctly. Sounds like false advertisement to me

My stupid washer was getting stuck on the spin cycle. I just stopped using it. They wouldn't have sold it if it was working properly.

He’s claimed to be a long time viewer of the show and he thought because she didn’t wright as it is in the ad that that was a problem. JM has said that so many times that it’s an as is sale if it’s used. 😂

Sadly this is an AS IS sale (whether mentioned in the advert or not), and whether she knew or not that it was dodgy (her smug smile tells me she knew it was dodgy), but he bought it and that is that! Even if he had seen it 'working' he wouldn't have waited for the whole cycle, to see if it spun correctly, so would have bought it anyway. It's better to buy from a second-hand shop that guarantees that it is in working order or else buy new, buying off Craig's list is just like playing Russian Roulette, but with only one empty bullet chamber...
