I been around. Just been trying to keep quite. Seems to me that lately if a person speaks their mind on here too much they get shutdown for however long. No matter how much they can help others. Bunch of elementary school b.s. IMO.

Off the top of your head, any idea on a estimated weight on individual stoves, washers, dryers and fridges? Just curious. Whenever I get them, I always throw them on with a truck or car I'm hauling in, the yards pays $25 a ton less for light iron then cars.
Dryers 100#, stoves 125#, washers 150 #, refrigerators 175#. That's averaged across about 1000 pieces.

Those numbers seem about right just by using my back scale. Older stuff is on the heavier side since it was built better with thicker skins. Yesterday I brought in a washer, dryer, stove and double wall oven and it ended up being 590#...easy $50 after costs. Dbl oven was a nice compact beast that I'm thinking went about 200#. I pull wires, motors and heating elements on stuff before taking in.

The Appliance Posting netted a AMC 360 out of a Jeep that had rolled today. Guy had pulled it out and it was on a cherry picker but a sudden move left him with no where to put it. He said the engine was junk and the tranny might have life left but I'm not about selling something that takes a bit of effort to swap out and then might not work out. I did pull the Edelbrock manifold and DUI performance distributor tho, and they will be an easy sell.

Funny - Dryers weigh the least but I'll bet a lot of people here would prefer to get them.
If you haven't done so, you might want to consider doing a little troubleshooting on those appliances. I always ask what is wrong with the machine and get as much symptom information as possible. I then search the Internet for a fix. If I can fix it for less than $25- 50 (depending on what type of appliance) I'll do it and then sell it. I once had washing machine that the person said was leaking turn out to be only a matter of re-clamping the hose. I then sold it for $150.00. Sometimes people are just looking for an excuse to buy new stuff. Service tech tells them that it will cost such and such to come out and look at it and the owner balks.

Great Job KZ! Really like your Ad. I have been doing the appliance pick - up for about 2yrs. Now. I started off not knowing what to do with them except scrapping them. Then I started learning different ways to make better money with them. I have agreements with several appliances buyers in my area. Each buyer wants different makes and models. I haven't had to offer paying for them yet, and recently started charging for dishwasher & Tv removal. Funny thing is, my business increased after I started charging? There are lots of ways to work the appliance removal? Talk to Apts., Motel - Hotels etc. I have one friend that swears he is making on average $750.00 a day doing appliance delivery services. He charges about $50 - $80.00 for delivery. Then charges $15.00 disposal fee per each old,broken appliance they are replacing. Then he goes and sells the broken appliance to repair shop for $30.00 to $50.00 dollars. Thats about $110.00 - $$130.00 per job. He charges $250.00 for delivery of new commercial freezers to restuarants. Any how, yall get the picture! LOTS of potential in the appliance removal services. GOOD Luck and best wishes KZ.
