Appliances: what they're worth used

Used appliances sell mainly on age, brand, and whether they work. Big appliances are hard to move, so they sell locally, and most buyers want them working, clean, and reasonably new.

What decides the price

Age and working condition come first; then brand, capacity, and features. Energy efficiency matters to buyers who'll pay the power bill. Small kitchen appliances from well-known premium brands keep a resale market; budget ones rarely do.

Selling tips

Clean it, show it running, and list the model number so buyers can look up its specs. Offering help with removal or delivery widens the pool of buyers for large appliances.

Frequently asked questions

Is it worth selling an old appliance?

If it works and isn't very old, often yes, locally. Non-working appliances are usually worth little beyond scrap or parts.
