Nice pump. My favorite the 60. Not the right time to be selling a expensive item with all the Christmas expenses. It does look like a candy though. Good Luck.

I agree with your observation about timing on trying to sell an expensive pump at Christmas time. The color scheme looked good to me at the time, but now realize that less white would have been better. In hindsight, I would have painted the side rails white and maybe the optional globe holder and the rest would have been red. Another expensive lesson learned. If I had the equipment to spray paint, I would re-paint it, but I don't. I appreciate your candid comments.

I've seen them asking 2k for Wayne 60 wide body pumps in the rough.

I think it’s gorgeous bump for a nice piece. If I had the 3 G there would be a shipping company at your door.

I have never understood why it is so tough to sell nice restored pumps like the Wayne 60's and other older desirable models. If you try to find a decent 60 to restore you will have a very hard time finding one for much less than $2500 and then a lot of them have rust, missing parts, broken bases, and the like. Even if I didn't like the color on this pump, I could repaint it in a third of the time it would take to get a starter pump even ready to paint for just the cost of paint. The same goes for most of the later common electrics nowadays. The recent craze for "patina pumps" is a lot of the problem. A lot of people would prefer a crusty original pump to a nice museum piece. At least that is what they say, I'm not sure if that's because they don't have or don't want to spend the money to restore them or they just truly love junk. Either way, it's a shame when you seen a nice pump that reflects hours of hard work sell for barely above what a junk one does. Good luck with your sale.....GB

I paid $2800 because it was in good condition. No rust through and only small dents and some shallow pitting ai the bottom of the doors. As someone said to me, Christmas is not a good time to sell an expensive pump.
