Low prices...No problem

Funny you mention dog crates. I was just given a "broken" one as scrap. Found out it wasn't really broken, cleaned it up and out the door the next day sold for $25.00. Funny how that is. Keep it crafty!!

After parting out over 200 microwaves in my first year of doing appliance parts I found that several of these microwaves were pretty nice stainless steel range ones. I began repairing the nice ones and am finding that they sell pretty well. I typically get $30-$40 for each microwave I sell. It's not a huge amount, but for less than 5 minutes of work to fix a microwave it's a pretty good margin.

How are you guys selling these things? eBay? Because there is time necessary to write a listing, package and ship something, go to the post office, etc. So unless I had something small, fairly expensive and easy to sell, it is hard to understand how it would be worth the time and effort.

The post office will pick up at your house and, with a little practice, item descriptions get quick and easy. But there's also Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, offerup, letgo, flea markets, swap meets, garage sales and more. Lots of ways to sell your wares.

Have branched off into repairing electronics instead of just ewaste. Can get a decent scrap price for a 5th gen i3 laptop but it's still sooooo much less than figuring out that all that was wrong with it was the wlan card needed reseating. Upgdaded the RAM and hard drive and VOILA! Sold it on offerup for a quick $200. And thanks for the reminder!
