    Craigslist apliances ads.

    So something that has worked for me in the past is going through the appliance ads and replying to ones that are selling washers stoves microwaves dishwasher, etc and send them this message.




    Hi,

    If you do not find a buyer and want the (insert item for sale) hauled away, please contact me @ xxx-xxx-xxxx.

    Thanks
    James


    Yes sometimes you get people who are pissed, but just ignore those emails and delete them, Sometimes they are worth a laugh, but I have had more susses with this than it hasnt. Also keep an eye on the appliance ads for free appliances. Here is an example of what you can miss.

    Refrigerator/Freezer - Whirlpool

    Now to see if I get it!

    I also have done this. Only difference is on cars $500 n less. Usually offering $100-$200. You're right. Sometimes it works.
