Buying Appliance Parts Working or Not From Scrapped Appliances

Buying Appliance Parts Working or Not From Scrapped Appliances.

Make more $$$ from those scrapped appliances with just a few moments of your time!

10/06/2021 This is just our initial post to get the ball rolling. We plan to provide more details in the near future. We will update this posting regularly when needed so check back for updates.

We are currently have the most need for the following:

Dryer Timers	$4 Each
Range/Oven Main Control Boards	$4 Each
Most Washer and Dryer Main Control Boards (more details to come)	$3 Each
Refrigerator Main Control Boards	$3 Each
Dishwasher Main Control Boards	$3 Each
Analog Range Oven Thermostats (complete with copper wire that goes into the oven)	$2.5 Each
Additional Appliance parts (by invite only to consistent suppliers)	Price Varies

All parts must be free of obvious external damage. Parts with obvious damage can still be purchased but at $1 each. Analog Range/Oven Thermostats with obvious damage are not purchased. Seller assumes all shipping and tracking responsibility. Sellers are responsible for damage that may occur in shipping (see below for more details).

This program is ideal for:

• Those who have access to a metal yard that allows you to pull parts.
  
• Those with big box appliance haul away contracts, or know someone who does.
  
• Anyone who is regularly hauling appliances.

About Us
Spokane Appliance Recycling has been in business since 2011 with our main focus on testing, refurbishing and repairing certain types of appliance parts. Our regional suppliers provide us with good parts, but there are some items (listed above) that we can never get enough of. We look forward to establishing many long-term buying relationships with many of you here on the forum.

FAQs
How do I get paid?

• Email us at Info@SpokaneApplianceRecycling.com prior to sending your parts. Once we receive the parts, please allow us up to 5 business days to inspect everything. We can then either mail you a check, or send the payment via Venmo.

Is there a limit to how much you can send?

• Currently we do not have a limit. Everyone always asks this question in the beginning, but we have never had anyone come to overwhelm us yet. There are some parts (not listed above that we will buy in limited quantities, but we will only offer to buy these parts from sellers that prove to be a steady supplier.

Who pays the shipping?

• For now our prices are set for you to cover the cost of shipping. Later on we hope to offer 2 pricing structures (we pay shipping or you pay shipping).

What is the best way to ship?

• It is really up to you how you want to ship. USPS, UPS and FEDex are all the standard ones. A good example of shipping costs is that 26-28 dryer timers can fit into a USPS Priority Large Flat Rate Game box (not the top load box) and will cost (at the time of writting this) $22.65 if paid for at the post office, or $22.05 if you use an online service like Pirateship to purchase the label.

Is there better pricing if we can supply a high volume?

• If you can supply enough volume to ship via a pallet (48”x42”x42”) then we will cover the freight cost (must contact us first in advance to arrange shipping). For perspective you can typically ship 500-600 range/oven and or Washer/Dryer circuit boards or 1800-2200 dryer timers in one pallet. Shipping via pallet will only be offered to sellers that we have built enough of a relationship with over time. Message me for more details.

Do these parts have to be working/tested?

• No, we do not require that these parts be tested and/or working. Regardless of the stated condition, we will do full testing on ever part. With that said, if you run an appliance shop and just send us only dead parts, low value parts, we may ask that you not send us any more in the future. If you are pulling parts off of appliances that you pick up off the street or in a scrap yard then you should never have an issue. We have done this long enough to know the average ratio of good/repairable vs bad/unrepairable is.

What about damage in shipping/how should we pack these parts?

• Simply put, pack the parts as if you were the person on the other end paying for them. While we are not going to try and nickel and dime you for any part that may get damaged in shipping, we will only pay $1 for parts that have obvious external damage that occurred prior to shipping, or for damage that happened during shipping due to an obvious lack of care for proper packing. With that said, Dryer timers and analog range/oven thermostats should not need any additional packaging as long as the box is full. Circuit boards that have a complete plastic covering should be fine as well without additional packaging (again, as long as the box is full). Just make sure that any shafts sticking out of the plastic casing are facing inwards rather than facing towards the outside of the box. Circuit boards with exposed components are best to ship in their own box and the use of either small bubble wrap, packing paper or plastic grocery bags on at least the side of the board with the exposed components will do a great deal in reducing the possibility of any damage during shipping.

I still have a question how do I get a hold of you?

• If it is a general question, please post a comment on this thread, as others are probably wondering the same question. If it is a specific question, you can either PM me or email us me at Info@SpokaneApplianceRecycling.com

We look forward to being a part of the Scrap Metal Community Here. Once you have sent us some parts, we would love to have you post your experience on this thread.
