How do I prove a used washer works?
Film one full cycle before you disconnect it — fill, wash, spin, drain — and put the video in the listing. Once a washer is unhooked in a garage, 'it worked last month' is just words, and the price drops with the doubt. Sell it connected if you possibly can.
Should I sell the washer and dryer as a set?
If you have both, yes — matched sets sell faster, and a combined pickup suits buyers, who usually need both anyway. Price the set slightly below the two individual fair values and you'll typically save weeks of coordination for a few dollars.
Should I sell my washing machine before a long-distance move?
Full-service long-distance movers effectively charge about $0.50–$0.80 per pound. At roughly 200 lb, moving a washing machine adds about $100–$160 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 washing machine last?
About 11 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 washing machine past that age should be priced to move fast or listed free.
