Garage Sale Appliances Prices: What to Charge
Large appliances can be the biggest single sale of the day. Buyers need proof that they work, so have power nearby or show a short phone video of the appliance running. Measure doorways and the space where the appliance will go so it fits. Say whether the buyer must bring a truck and helpers, and be clear about gas hookups. Clean the inside and have fridges cold on sale day if you can. AC units and heaters sell best in season, so time them for late spring or summer and fall or winter.
