model name / number: VSM500
I purchased this beast of a mixer about 10 years ago and have literally used it ONCE. Aside from that one-time use, it has been stored covered in my smoke-free, pet-free home. The twist-tie has never been removed from the power cord, and when I looked at the model number on the underside there were still a few small pieces of foam from the original box - that's how little use this mixer has seen. It is in pristine condition, and it truly is professional grade: extremely powerful, built like a tank, and weighs about as much as my car.

I am selling this beast only because I don't use it enough to justify keeping it (once in ten years is definitely too infrequent). It needs a good home and an owner who will appreciate its abilities; it is practically begging to be a workhorse in someone's kitchen.

Heavily used models of this exact mixer are currently listed online for around $500, and refurbished models go for $1500. Wolf has a stand mixer on its website for $800, but it is a 500-watt version, not 800-watts like this Viking.

With that in mind, I'm asking $300 for this mixer. Included are everything that came in the original box: the mixer and bowl, the "V" beater, whip, and dough hook attachments, and the instruction manual.

If you are looking for a cheap or inexpensive mixer, this isn't the one for you. But if you are looking to acquire a professional-grade mixer in nearly new condition at a steal of a price, this is a fantastic opportunity.

Here is a description of the mixer from a website that sells it refurbished:

With 800 watts of power, the new Viking Professional Stand Mixers provide enough brawn to knead any dough into submission. However, they have a range of settings delicate enough for even the most sensitive meringues, too. This stand mixer has many special features which make using it a breeze, like a locking pop up head, which make clean up a snap, and a special stirring speed that helps prevent flour puff and liquid splatter during the initial mixing stage. This mixer, like all Viking products, will impress you with it’s power, craftsmanship and unsurpassed professional quality. It includes a “V” beater, whip, and dough hook, and the bowl is made of die cast stainless steel. Additionally, the easy-glide rear wheels provide easy and convenient mobility.

15″ L x 8-1/2″ W, 5 quart capacity
Gray with cast stainless steel bowl
Powerful 800 watt motor with metal gear transmission
Viking exclusive, patented pending Easy-Glide rear wheels for easy maneuverability around the counter top
Primary, low, and high speed settings
