    Used junk appliances

    Today I was at Menards and I noticed in there outside lumber yard they have used appliances for sale. Different sections, different prices. I noticed a section for 9$ a piece and there were 2 refrigerators. Do you think that they would be worth buying for scrap if I broke them down?

    You might make 10 to 15 depending on shred prices and you would half strip the copper out of the compressors, I would nt touch that, working for free after transport it

    $5 is the most I go but that was just to generate biz when I was slow.
