    Buying broke down appliances

    Hello,



    Over the weekend I wanted to test the waters on craiglist. So I posted in two sections, Appliances and Wanted.
    I posted that I would pick and pay cash for non working/wanted appliances.
    Here is what I scored.
    2 broke fridges and a stove for $25. Spent about $10 in gas picking up.
    1 lady responded to my post and offered me a free washer machine. Spent about $6 in gas picking it up.
    For $15 I scored a broken washer dryer set which I spent about $5 to $6 on gas to pick up.
    So I'm about $60 in the hole but I figure I should easily double up. Price I'll get paid at the yard should be $230 ton unless the price has gone down this week.
    Not gong to mess with the copper in the fridges as I have no way to recover the gas. I'll let the yard deal with that chit. Did take the motors and insulated copper off the dryer and washers.
