Wow, might be on too something. I see fridgie compressors ging for a 100 bucks....WOW.....hmmm
I sell fridge compressors locally to used appliance stores and have been doing so for 15 years. I have never tried selling them on Ebay though. I sort them by manufacturer and BTU rating. As far as testing them, I make sure they fire up right and check the running amps first. Then I make sure they do a good frost pattern on the evaporater. It's also important to make sure they don't have broken motor mounts (clunking when they cycle off).
Ok now what if they are off the aplliance already...how do you wire them up?
Once you have them out of the system it is very hard to get an accurate idea if they are any good.
