Washer and Dryer value help
Posted on 6/13/18 at 11:01 am

We just purchased a new washer and dryer set on Memorial Day from Lowes. They were supposed to be delivered on Saturday but Lowes called Saturday morning and said the units that we picked out were on back order and wouldn't come in until July. We cancelled the purchase from Lowes and bought the exact same units from Best Buy and they are being delivered on Thursday of this week. The problem that I am having is that when we purchased from Lowe's we paid for them to disconnect and haul away the old units. Best Buy will not haul away the old units. Since I disconnected the units myself and moved them to the back porch I may now sell them on Craigslist or similar website.
The problem is that I don't know what is a fair value for these units. They are blue LG front load washer and dryer. They are about 10 years old and both still work well. My wife just wanted a new set. The only problem with them is that the on button on the dryer is broken off and you have to touch just the right spot to turn the dryer on. I am sure putting a new button on the unit would be easy for someone who is so inclined.
Anyway, can someone give me some insight on what is a fair price for 10 year old, blue, front load LG washer and dryers with pedestals. TIA.

Free, if you don't have to help load them up.
ETA: You were going to PAY Lowe's to haul away, remember?

Go search craigslist and try to get a feel for what they're worth.
10 years old, I would say $100-200 probably.
Be prepared for lowballing scrappers to try to pick them up for parts.

I'd say $100 for the pair, pick up only. Put them on Nextdoor.

About $350 for the pair

That was before I had to disconnect them and move them out of the utility room myself. Lowes was going to do that.

Just bought new w/d myself.
Listed the old w/d on Craigslist for $300 and sold for $200. No clue on the age of either. My guess would be 10-15 years.

On stuff like this I'd much rather sacrifice 100 bucks I could have made to avoid anyone giving me shite about how something didn't work correctly or wasn't as represented. People are weird and it's not worth it.
Meaning I'd price them lower than what you could potentially get, or give them away for free.

I don't know the value, but it's funny you mention this. I ordered a washer and dryer from Lowe's last week and got an email the other day saying they were going to be delivered today between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm. I was supposed to get another email yesterday with a 2 hour delivery window. Didn't get it, but I'm working from home so not a huge deal. 10:00 comes so I call them. They transfer me to the local delivery manger and he tells me he had someone call in and they weren't gonna be able to deliver it today. arse holes weren't even gonna bother to let me know.

Damn, seeing all these reports makes me less confident about getting a washer and dryer from Lowe's soon.

I will do you one better. Lowe’s even called us on Friday to make sure we could accept delivery on Saturday. It wasn’t until Saturday morning that they realized they didn’t have the units to deliver. Even then they said they would have them on Monday. It wasn’t until I called on Monday that they said they were on back order until July.

I just purchased a refrigerator from Best Buy after Lowes called to tell me the unit I ordered was damaged and it would take 14 days to get a new one. Best Buy took my old fridge away for 14$ when they delivered my refrigerator 2 days after order was placed.

A working washer and dryer is usually always worth at least$100 unless it's really ugly.
Front load of that vintage aren't worth all that much. I'd sell them for $300-350 for the pair if everything worked and would take$100 less.
