Dishwasher cost question

[IndyGunworks]

I have no idea if the thing is worth ANYTHING... Its a budget brand (roper maybe?) dishwasher with a white front. Probably new in 96. I just replaced it at the realtors advice with a new stainless steel one to match the rest of the kitchen. He said it would really help the house sell better. Is this worth anything at all on the market? It still worked just find when I took it out, but did have some lime/calcium build up. Should I go through the hassle of trying to sell it? If so for how much? Or is it better off donated for a tax deduction?

Save yourself some time and throw it away. We throw dishwashers like that away on a weekly basis. If you could get $10, I'd be surprised.

Put it out front with a sign that says "WORKS" and "FREE" it will be gone within the day.

This. You can get a brand new unit for under $250. I doubt a 19 year used dishwasher would be worth anything.

If you're a handy guy, maybe a single mom from work or church has a broken one and you could go install it to be a nice guy?

Otherwise I'd say junk it.

Not many moms where I work.

Someone will haul it away for the scrap value if you leave it out. That's what I would do.

Thanks guys... I was pretty sure it wouldn't be worth the hassle of trying to make a couple of bucks, but I wasn't entirely sure. Will goodwill take it? A tax write off it better than nothing, and there is one 5 minutes from my house.

If you're thinking about Goodwill, do give them a call first. Over the last few years they've pared down a few items from their list of what they'll take. Do yourself a favour and check with them. If dishwashers are on their list of items not to take anymore, you'll save yourself a trip and some back strain.

anybody on ingo want a free one?

Target for the next shoot and meet?

It could become cannon fodder!

List it on craigslist for $20. You never know. Put a pic with it. I gave an intersection close to me for location. If no bites, put on freecycle. Someone will have a use for it.

Most are made of plastic and have little scrap value. I don't even think Goodwill will take it.

Best is toss it out front with a free sign. Make sure you write works... It may make it move faster.

You could do a craigslist for a couple bucks, but it may not be worth the hassle.

You would be surprised how many people could probably use it, $250 might as well be $25,000 to some people.

There is another place in Indy that recycles building materials.......cant remember the name of it.

We have Restore around here... I don't think they take appliances though...

I contacted habitat for humanity. I need this thing gone asap, as we will probably be listing the house within the next week. Hopefully they contact me tomorrow and come and get it, otherwise its going to go to the curb for the scrappers.

Have it out day before trash day. Almost guarantee it will be gone by trash day.

 

[IndyGunworks]

we take trash out tomorrow night... that's why I am hoping they come and get it tomorrow.

Figured I would follow up on my own thread. The restore guys didn't want it because it was a dishwasher more than 2 or 3 years old. so it went out with the trash today.

On a side topic, they have a greenfield location, and when I drove by it yesterday it was boarded up and had caution tape around the front, are they already closing that quickly after they bought that place?

I'm surprised they wouldn't take it. I've seen some OLD appliances at the restore in Bloomington.
