parted out and listed a washing machine to test the waters

Kitchen Aid Whirlpool Washer Dryer Timer Knob Dial Indicator 3349243 3349233 items in E8AYEXPERT'S STORE store on eBay!

Gonna see how this plays out. I decided to list the most valuable parts and stuff that has the best chance to sell. Cut it down to 6 items to minimize risk and overhead carrying costs.

Im thinking about listing all my appliance parts on Ebay as well. How much did it cost you to ship that transmission? Good Luck on selling all your other washer parts. Also, do you test your appliance parts, or sell as is untested? Thanks.....

Will be around $20 for shipping and $10 on fees so i will still net over $60 on it. The machine has electrical issues, possibly timer module, was having to manually run machine thru the cycles for it to work. I havnt listed the pump yet but i think i can clear over $60 on it.

JG, if you talk to some local appliance repair shops, you can score the shipping boxes for transmissions, motors etc.

i hardly ever ship parts that big, all that stuff goes on craigslist to locals, but thanks for the tip

Are you doing this on particular brands?

I have found parting on ebay to be worth it every time. If it fits in a USPS flat rate box i will sell it. I can typically make about $50 in parts from working microwaves and lads more from treadmill parts. You will do just fine!! Just remember to look for comparable prices from other sellers first.

PEACE!

well i am down to 2 $10 dial knobs, the rest of the parts i listed sold, netted around $200 after fees and shipping on the washing machine parts, it was just a basic white top loader so these results should be easily repeated, had about 40 pounds of scrap metal remaining after it was processed and a couple pounds of insulated wire so about another $7 to add to the pie.
