Making easy $$$ on sight-unseen appliance purchases

"GES quirk is that they sometimes sound really bad when you spend the drum this one actually sounds pretty good there's a little bit of spinning action even after I let go which means that it's not really bound up"

"this is an older front panel to a GE dryer and if you look on the front of this you can see that the hub is totally worn and more or less destroyed it starts sounding like you are throwing cats into a washing machine or drying machine and seeing which one wins in the Thunderdome it sounds really really bad with metal on metal contact now what you were looking for is there are glides here or were glides here as well as this plastic bracket and bracing here eventually over time these tend to wear out on GES which caused them to start squealing and will end up totally destroying the dryer from the inside out"

"high-efficiency newer dryers tend to be less hot than old ones if you get like an old 1980s or 1990s Kenmore whirlpool those things get extremely hot coming out the back enough to the point that's on some of them if you don't put the right thermal fuse on them or hyland it cut off they can pop because they're mismatched being so hot inside the cabinet but newer GES whirlpools not quite as hot"

"come to find out he thought it maybe three to five years old and it is only a year and a half old it was made in 2017 which is a really good thing for me I was able to look the model number up on AJ Madison which I just used to see what roughly the price is and it turns out the payers about a dollar set for the washer and dryer"

"it's running a little bit loud which may concern a customer but generally what ends up happening is that's just the sound of agitation some people don't like their washing machine making noise I always tell people that it sounds like it's actually doing its job this ge does have an agitator to it"

"it's a 4.1 cubic foot capacity washer which for a washing machine that has an agitator that is really really really good a lot of customers ask what what's the capacity on it and usually I don't know what to tell them because I'm not measuring it or it's an order designing to where it doesn't have a cubic foot capacity on it only in the past few years have manufacturers decided to put capacity labels on the machines so at four point one cubic foot it tends to be one of the larger or largest top load that I know of which is a really good selling point"

"the real concern is what happens in drain and spin when you go to from agitation to drain and spend multiple multiple things can fail on a unit like this even a new high-efficiency unit even one that's only a year and a half old and what can happen is one your drain pump really has to start working at that point getting water out of the drum wall it spins to it has to spin and it has to do without blasting the sides of the unit"

"we've worked on a lot of units maybe not GE necessarily but a lot of units that are top loaders that everything seems fine and then all of a sudden the machine reminds me of something from mr. mom from the 1980s where the machines just started to walk across the floor not because it's not level but because the suspension rods have gone out we get a lot of new or aichi top loads that have bad suspension rods these machines tend to drain and spend much faster much better than old machines do but it comes at the cost of the fact that the balancing rods suspension rods or struts tend to go a lot back a lot worse a lot quicker"

"but in our line of work in my line of work it means more money because struts tend to be kind of cheap thirty to fifty dollars to fix a unit and if that's all we're dealing with it's not too bad of a deal"

"it's a safety feature on newer washing machines to make sure you can't just throw your hand in the Machine and get it torn off probably a good safety feature to have although you see and use the 'pliance as a lot of people love to bypass that switch because it's a common point of failure on pretty much any washing machine doesn't have the brand"

"GE has revised these suspension rods and they are essentially the same once whirlpool uses on their vertical modular washers that's a good thing in the fact that they are extremely cheap to replace if that was the issue at about $10 per rod maybe even less if you buy a 4-pack but then it also brings up the issue of whether or not they are reliable in the fact that I'm not the hugest fan of how whirlpool does or suspension rods because they go bad all the time"

"pricing wise this is kind of a tough one for me I want to be greedy and put a lot of money on it since it's at like a thousand to $1200 set that's only a year and a half old but then I also want to sell it as fast as possible usually when I have sets I charge 300 and up but this is like I said a much newer set I'm probably going to put about 450 to 500 dollars on it expecting to get a counteroffer of maybe $25 less on it I'm hoping to clear no less than $400 on the set"

"there's a customer that just came in and purchased the GE washer dryer set had 475 on it negotiated with them a little bit ended up taking 400 cash for it a little bit less than what I was hoping for but I also expected that there would probably be some negotiation"

"I did end up doing pretty decent on this flip well really I did awesome on the flip because I only had $100 in the set I didn't have to fix anything and it was essentially cleaning the unit and then giving it a good testing just to make sure that there wasn't anything gone with it so in the end my profit on the unit is a total of you know about $300 give or take down on my wallet right here"
