    Question Fridges, Deep Freezers

    Okay so i picked up this commercial freezer from a client (obviously doesn't work. The compressor died) It's not worth trying to fix because the parts are more then what i could sell it for and i'm curious to either split it into parts and sell individually or as a whole, and what i should get per pound if i sell whole.

    If you sell it whole you will get sheet iron price for it. Cut the cord and misc wires underneath it and pull the fan motor, and alum rails from the doors if they have any. The yard I use will recover the refridgerant from it

    we thought about doing a designated day of Monday thinking people bought appliances on the weekends, but usually that's our busiest day of the week with cars, no reason other than the cars mean more to me than the appliances

    I have fridge envy the more I see that thing.

    Stop the insanity! Tho..on the brightside..I'd need a trailer to turn that into a traveling cooler.

    I don't know what type of freezer you have, but I usually save the handles, casters, shelves, and anything else like that parts-wise to sell on ebay. There are also switches, thermometers, motors, etc to save too. Commercial appliances are so expensive that used parts sell pretty easily. It all depends on what you have though.
