With the websites and apps below, you can easily make money selling used appliances.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s start with Craigslist.<\/p>\n If you ever thought \u201cwho buys used appliances near me<\/em>\u201d or \u201cwhere I can sell old appliances for cash around me<\/em>\u201c, Craigslist is still a good option for selling stuff locally<\/a>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s so easy to put up a listing, and not to mention, it\u2019s entirely free to sell items on there.<\/p>\n The easiest way to sell an item quickly on Craigslist is to include good photos in your listing. Having a great description of the appliance is one thing, but people like to see a photo too \u2013 and those photos should show the item clearly.<\/p>\n Make sure to include clear photos, taken with good lighting \u2013 grainy or blurry photos won\u2019t show the customer what your appliance looks like.<\/p>\n Also, if the item has any damage, like scratches for example, then photograph those too, so that when a potential buyer shows up to view it, they aren\u2019t surprised by the condition of the appliance.<\/p>\n By taking good, accurate photos, people will be able to properly judge if your appliance is for them. Hell, with good pictures, you could even get cash for non working appliances.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t need to have a fancy camera \u2013 the camera on your phone will work just fine.<\/p>\n Next to the photos, your title is probably the most important part of your listing. You want something that\u2019s going to get people\u2019s attention. Your title is what gets people to click on your ad and view your listing.<\/p>\n Our main tip is to be specific.<\/p>\n A listing that\u2019s titled \u201cUsed Refrigerator for Sale,\u201d probably isn\u2019t going to get much attention, since it\u2019s not specific enough, and it doesn\u2019t catch your eye.<\/p>\n So, be specific, and highlight your item\u2019s best features.<\/p>\n Instead of \u201cUsed Refrigerator for Sale,\u201d for example, put \u201crarely used silver Kenmore refrigerator for sale.\u201d<\/p>\n Don\u2019t try to cram too much into your title, but include a few of the item\u2019s best features and specifics about it as well.<\/p>\n When creating your listing, make sure that you\u2019re honest about the condition of the appliance \u2013 people don\u2019t like having their time wasted.<\/p>\n So, if the appliance has scratches, for example, then make sure to state that in the listing. And, be honest about how much use it\u2019s had as well.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re a couple, without kids, then you probably won\u2019t have used the washer as often as a family of four.<\/p>\n People like to know the condition and history of an item before they buy it, so be honest and you\u2019ll be more likely to get that final sale!<\/p>\n And, even if the item is heavily used, you can still spin it into a positive. For example, you could say \u201cit\u2019s held up for 10 years of heavy use, in a household with four kids!\u201d<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve replaced anything on the appliance you\u2019re selling, then make sure to let potential buyers know about that too.<\/p>\n This will help you to sell the item quicker.<\/p>\n And, if the item is old, it helps you to put a better spin on it.<\/p>\n For example, you can say that the item has withstood heavy use and you\u2019ve only had to replace one part.<\/p>\n Generally, people are more likely to buy an old item, if they know you\u2019ve recently replaced parts on it.<\/p>\n So, make sure that you mention any type of upgrade or recent repair in your listing.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget to put the dimensions of the appliance in the listing, as people want to know whether the item will fit in their home.<\/p>\n Also, list the weight of the item.<\/p>\n This information can help potential buyers to decide whether or not to make the drive and buy your appliance.<\/p>\n A lot of people don\u2019t want to drive too far to get appliances, whereas other people are willing to drive further.<\/p>\n Make sure you specify your location so people know whether or not they want to drive to buy your item.<\/p>\n This is something that can really set your listing apart from others.<\/p>\n In your listing, include links to information and reviews online about the appliance you\u2019re selling.<\/p>\n If the appliance has good reviews online, this can encourage buyers to purchase your item.<\/p>\n And, buyers will appreciate you giving them additional information, which again, encourages a sale!<\/p>\n Things like the product\u2019s dimensions and color are great and need to be in your listing.<\/p>\n But, people also like to know about personal experiences, rather than just specs.<\/p>\n So, highlight features that you found beneficial.<\/p>\n Was the dishwasher pretty quiet? If so, then include that in your listing.<\/p>\n Think about what advantages you feel the appliance has that maybe other appliances don\u2019t, and how it helped you \u2013 maybe it saved you time or money<\/a>?<\/p>\n Maybe the washing machine offers a wide range of wash cycles, including mini cycles, making it perfect for those with families, or who are short on time.<\/p>\n \u201cIf this is such a great item, why is he\/she selling it?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n Most of us who buy and sell stuff<\/a> on Craigslist (or elsewhere for that matter) have wondered about that.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s a legitimate concern, which is why it is very important to explain to potential buyers why you\u2019re selling the appliance in your listing.<\/p>\n You could say something like, \u201conly selling, as we\u2019re downsizing and the refrigerator won\u2019t fit in our new space,<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOr, need to sell because we\u2019ve expanded our family and need a bigger dishwasher.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n Think about why you\u2019re selling and let the buyer know.<\/p>\n If you list a washer from a brand for $500, when other people are selling a similar appliance for $300, then yours isn\u2019t likely to sell. And, you don\u2019t want to short-change yourself by pricing the items too low either.<\/p>\n That\u2019s why it\u2019s a good idea to check on Craigslist to see how much similar items are selling for.<\/p>\n Once you\u2019ve chosen the price you want to sell the item for, think about whether you\u2019d be willing to negotiate.<\/p>\n You might just be flexible with the price, as you want to get the item out of your home, or your item might not be in that high demand, so it doesn\u2019t sell as quickly as you want it to, and you might have to lower the price.<\/p>\n So, consider what you\u2019d be willing to drop the price to before you put up the listing.<\/p>\n It\u2019s always best to put your highest price (of course, in keeping with what other similar items are selling for), and then if the buyer tries to haggle, then you have room to negotiate.<\/p>\n You can even put phrases, like \u201cor best offer,\u201d next to your sale price if you\u2019re flexible with your prices. If not, then just list your sale price. People like getting a good deal, and they don\u2019t want to pay a price that\u2019s too close to the amount that they could buy it new.<\/p>\n When a person contacts you about your listing, make sure that you get back to them quickly.<\/p>\n Buyers don\u2019t like waiting around, so are more likely to purchase from sellers who get back to them quickly.<\/p>\n So, on your listing, make sure you include a method of contact that you check often. It\u2019s no good using an email address that you rarely check. Make sure when you\u2019re selling to check for potential messages, as if you\u2019re quick with your responses, you\u2019re more likely to make that sale.<\/p>\n Okay, so now you know how to sell used appliances on Craigslist, but that\u2019s not your only option when it comes to selling.<\/p>\n There are plenty of other websites and apps to sell stuff<\/a> locally.<\/p>\n Whether you live in St Louis (like me), Oklahoma City, San Antonio, New York, Los Angeles, Colorado Springs, or any other city, these apps make it easy to get rid of your old appliances locally and get cash quickly.<\/p>\n So, if you\u2019ve been wondering, \u201cwhere can I sell appliances for cash near me?\u201d<\/em> then check out the places below!<\/p>\n This app allows you to buy and sell stuff locally.

With the app, you can sell your unwanted dryer, washing machine or any other appliance.<\/p>\n Make money selling your stuff locally with Tradyo. It\u2019s a classifieds site like Craigslist<\/a>\u00a0that you can list your used appliances for sale. Listing an item on the app is free to do.

You can set a specific sale price for your item, or put it up for auction and allow people to bid on it.<\/p>\n Above, we\u2019ve listed websites and apps where you can sell stuff locally, but, there are actually a few other things that you can do to get money for your old appliances.<\/p>\n Sometimes, you can actually get a rebate for your old appliances. Many places will give you this rebate, just for recycling unwanted appliances.<\/p>\n There are lots of places that offer these recycling rebates, but rather than searching through multiple sites to find them, check out ENERGY STAR<\/a>.<\/p>\n This website features a rebate finder tool. Using this tool, you can find rebates in your local area, with a quick search. It really makes the whole process a lot simpler.<\/p>\n There are tons of offers available. For example, you could get a $35 rebate from AEP Ohio<\/a>.<\/p>\n While the internet opens up your item to thousands of potential buyers, don\u2019t discount garage sales.<\/p>\n There\u2019s a huge market of potential buyers there too. Many people enjoy going to local yard sales at the weekend, and they get to see your appliance first hand.<\/p>\n So consider selling unwanted appliances at garage sales instead.<\/p>\n Another place to consider selling is to local appliance stores.<\/p>\n Some appliance stores sell used items, so might be interested in buying your used appliances. So, research local appliance stores and outlets, call them and find out if they would be interested in purchasing your used appliances from you.<\/p>\n If your item is damaged, or broken, then you might want to consider selling to a scrap metal recycler<\/a> instead. Call recycling businesses in your area and ask if they take scrap metal.<\/p>\n Most scrap metal recyclers pay by the pound, so how much you\u2019ll get will vary. This means that it\u2019s always worth calling a few different scrap metal recycling yards to get some quotes.<\/p>\n If you decide that your item just isn\u2019t in good enough condition to sell, then you might want to give Best Buy a call.<\/p>\n You won\u2019t earn money but the store will come and pick up your unwanted appliances for $19.99.<\/p>\n Learn more about the store\u2019s recycling program here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Maybe you have an old dryer you want to replace, or a refrigerator you no longer want?<\/p>\n Whatever used or unwanted appliances you have, from big items like washers and dryers to kitchen appliances like dishwasher, fridge and stove,\u00a0consider selling your used appliances for cash to someone near you through one of the places above. You can make money and declutter in the process!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n3. Be honest about the condition of the appliance<\/h3>\n
