Sell/salvage washers/dryer?What would you do?
I have two top load washers and a dryer.None are mates and all of them work (but need repair) and over 20 years old.Both washers need tub seals.No bid cost out lay but a big ole pain in the rear.The dryer needs to be cleaned out,new drum felt seals,a belt,and an over temp switch/sensor.Not really much cash out lay but it would be an almost break even deal,if I don't count labor,and sell the dryer.If I repaired all three,I'd probably have a cash outlay of $100 to $125 and I could possibly sell them for between $200 and $300.
So here it is.
Would you repair and sell,or salvage parts for building tools or modifying current tools? :headscratch:
