re: Inexpensive dishwashers-worth the repair?

Had a customer today pricing a new electric range because his heating element went out. He appreciated that I told him that its an easy fix and cheap. Cost me a sale, but guaranteed me a future customer when something does need to be replaced I think.

I buy old units from people, I just bought a nice LG front load washer for $100 with the pedestal. They said it didn't drain. I took the filter out and there was a sock in it. So now I have me a three year old top of the line LG washer, I think I'm keeping it for myself and finally going to go to front loaders.

I get dryers all the time. (I give my card out to scrappers and have a guy at the yard who sells me dryers and washers for $20 a pop)Most dryers are thrown out because of the $2 thermal fuse.

I send out an email every week to my landlord customers with the items I have for sale, and give a one year warranty on them. I do pretty good doing that as a side job.

Pays for my love of eating out and vacationing.
