The most profitable ways to get rid of the washer
Thinking about where to take your old washing machine, you will never guess that it can be returned to the store without any problems!
Return to store
The version sounds incredible, because the machine has already worked out its own, and is unlikely to be useful to the store, but in fact everything is simpler. Of course, at the price at which you took a new washer, they will not accept it from you, and in general it is unlikely that you will be paid for it. What is the salt? And the fact is that in many stores there are promotions, according to which, when you return your old equipment, you will receive a good discount on the purchase of a new one.
Important! Such discounts may apply to both working and non-working equipment. But in order not to go to the store in vain, call in advance and check with the manager all the conditions of the promotion.
The only downside is that this method often requires self-delivery of the machine to the store. Therefore, the method is not easy, especially if the machine is heavy and there is nothing to carry it with. But if you are 100% given a good discount in the store, do not hesitate, act!
Sell for scrap
Selling a non-working washing machine to a scrap metal collection point is also a good solution that will bring you at least some money. Of course, a lot of factors affect the price: the model and brand, the condition and weight of your SMA. Nevertheless, before you go to the iron collection point, call there in advance.
Necessarily! Check if there is a service for the removal of non-working equipment at the point. So you save even more.
give away
Companies offering free removal of household appliances are a real storehouse for those who are simply interested in the elimination of washing machines. To find such an office, it is enough to “google”. If you drive into the search engine “reception of used washing machines” and indicate your city, then for sure the system will give you a lot of sites with such a service.
Attention! This is not the most profitable way, as it does not bring material profit. But, if you yourself cannot physically take out the machine, and it bothers you a lot, then this is what you need.
If you are worried about why old equipment is taken away for free, and what is the scam, then we assure you that these are not scams. It’s just that the companies involved in the export of cars know where to sell both the metal and the “stuffing”, that is, parts and electronics. Therefore, having done a good deed for you, the recycling company will also make good money.
Sale by ad
This is a favorite way for SM owners if you need to turn in a washing machine for money, especially if it is in good condition. In principle, it is also possible to sell a washing machine for spare parts through a newspaper or an online bulletin board. If you have chosen Avito as a place of sale, then proceed as follows:
- Take a picture of your car . Better from multiple angles. If there are documents, a guarantee, instructions, all this is also captured in the photo. It is advisable to take pictures not on a phone camera.
- Create an ad for the sale of the machine. Do not hide the reasons for the sale – describe why and why you are getting rid of the equipment. There will still be questions later, so stop it right away by being honest about your typewriter. If you know what kind of damage happened to the machine, indicate it. Perhaps the machine will be bought for parts or be able to repair.
- When creating an ad, you can use “keywords” that will help customers find your product faster. For example, if you are selling for spare parts, you can write “sell washer for spare parts”, and also indicate the brand, preferably in Russian letters. Write down the model and year of manufacture.
- Functions, modes, status “Everyone needs to be honest about this as well.
- Specify price An ad with a price is always more interesting to buyers.
- Post an ad.
Approximately according to the same principle, place ads for the sale of washing machines on other boards. You can also go to sites that offer the purchase of faulty washing machines and send them a request.
Important! If the machine is in good working order and you want to sell it quickly, don’t ask too much for it – people for a modest price will be happy to buy such a SM for rented housing or for giving. To buy even faster, offer delivery. And if this is not possible, immediately tell about self-delivery so that you are not disturbed by calls once again.
Engage your connections
Do you live in an apartment building? So you know the informational power of “grandmothers on the bench.” Let them know in a casual conversation that you have a good, working and cheap machine, and soon even in neighboring porches and houses they will know about it. Cheap and effective advertising.
Sell for spare parts
To rent a washing machine for spare parts, you can choose any of the above methods by submitting ads or finding a special company. If you are not interested in cheap acceptance of SM for spare parts, you can do the trick: disassemble the washing machine, determine the serviceability of the parts, photograph those that are of value, and post ads.
This is the longest way to sell a car – you can wait a year for your buyer – but the most profitable. In some cases, by selling the washer “in parts”, you can recapture almost all of its cost.
Landfill is also an option.
It’s better to sell the washing machine for spare parts for a penny, then at least they will take it out. It is so unprofitable to throw away something bulky now!
If you just want to throw away the equipment, then you may need the services of movers and carriers. You also need to find a landfill that has special containers, but, of course, such landfills are not everywhere.
Get creative
Those who cannot imagine their life without creativity will not have to explain what to do with the old washer.
Creative individuals will never agree to sell a broken washing machine and will definitely make something like this out of it:
- brazier or hearth,
- furniture – ottoman, chair, table,
- flower bed,
- lamp and more.
Basically, the drum and the hatch from the washing machine are used – these are the most interesting parts of the SM that can be used as you like. It all depends on your imagination.
Now you know that the main thing is to find a place where they accept old household appliances for money: a company, a store or a private craftsman. But the most profitable way is the sale of spare parts. Well, either do something creative, or maybe just throw out the “old lady”. Choose your own way to get rid of the old typewriter and stay in the black.
