How much is a used dryer worth?
A used dryer in good condition keeps about 44% of its original price at 3 years on this calculator's curve. If yours cost $900 new, that works out to roughly $290–$500 as a realistic asking range, with fair market around $400. Use the calculator above to adjust for your exact age, condition, and brand tier.
Does gas vs electric change my dryer's resale value?
It changes your buyer pool more than the price. A buyer's laundry hookup decides which type they can use, full stop — so state yours in the title and you'll only hear from people who can actually take it. Electric buyers will also ask whether the 240 V cord is included; say so upfront.
What do buyers check on a used dryer?
That it heats, that the drum spins smoothly and quietly, and that the lint path is clean. Run it for a minute at pickup — warm air ends the inspection. A squealing drum or a burning smell means pricing in the 'worn' tier and saying why.
Should I sell my dryer before a long-distance move?
Full-service long-distance movers effectively charge about $0.50–$0.80 per pound. At roughly 125 lb, moving a dryer adds about $65–$100 to the bill — if that is more than its resale value, sell it before moving day and rebuy at your destination.
How long does a dryer last?
About 13 years of typical service, per InterNACHI's standard life-expectancy chart (based on the NAHB study of home components). Buyers price used appliances on the years remaining, so a dryer past that age should be priced to move fast or listed free.
