I just sold an old Speed Queen dryer (20 years old!) for like $200, and the guy who bought it told me that he resells them and it's worth way more than that. I get why it will never break down; it's just a metal box with two resistive coils, a drum, a fan, and a single dial. But while it will run forever, it also consumes 5,000 watts and pumps conditioned air out of my house the entire time it's running (when my vent isn't clogged, which is never). I replaced it with a heat pump dryer and love it. Yes, it's 1000 times more complicated, and yes, it may (will?) require repair at some point, but it plugs in to a 120-volt outlet, and requires no venting at all. Maybe I won't love it in a decade, but life is short. :D
