To ask how much you would sell a 3 year old washing machine for?

[ritaBx]

It's a Samsung, cost about £600 new.

Moving in a couple of weeks and new place has an integrated washing machine so need to sell ours.

Like I say, Samsung, 3 years old, washer dryer - 9kg. Works fine.

I've sold it for a certain amount and dh is not happy as apparently I've sold it for way too cheap...

So how much would you sell for/buy it for?

To be honest, I probably wouldn’t buy a second hand washing machine

I’d say around £200ish?

If I was moving to rented accommodation, I wouldn't sell it at all. You may need to fork out another £600 in a year or so time to buy a new one.
If I was moving to a bought house, I'd keep it as a spare.

If I really wanted to sell it then I'd check on gumtree etc what the going rate was. I wouldn't expect to get more than £100 at most.

I wouldn’t buy one, and would probably only expect to get 100-150 for it max.

I was going to say about £100.

My washing machine is second hand, and we purchased it for £40. It’s an Indesit 7kg, and was very nearly new.

150. Maybe 200.

If you're not moving for a couple of weeks have you not been a bit hasty selling it? How will you wash your clothes in the meantime?

100?

The problem is it’s probably just out of guarantee and it make break down. If this happens within a short timeframe it will be back on your doorstep with the buyer wanting a refund. So sell as working, state reason why selling, and say no refunds.

£600 new and three years old?
I'd pay up to £150 but only if it looked well looked after and you seemed genuine.

About £50.

I've sold it to the new tenant moving in so it won't be taken out etc. She's just split with her husband and is leaving with her dcs so I thought it would help her out. She didn't have one.

I've sold it for slightly less than £100 so seems maybe it was too cheap.

Maybe dh was right on this occasion....it's a rare occurrence

I use ebay - completed listings to gauge how much things are worth to sell, seems a 9kg samsung machine goes for £80-240. A lot depends where you are and how long you advertise for. I sold a sofa recently, had only 1 person interested in a month but they travelled 2hrs and paid the asking price.

No not too cheap. I know it's not quite the same, but I bought a 4 year old Hotpoint dishwasher off ebay for £25. They are about £250 new so only worth 10% of new value after 4 years.

For 2nd hand white goods when people can buy a brand new washer/dryer for about £350,
they aren't going to pay the same for a used one even if it is a better model. I would have said up to £150 max for yours. And the convenience factor of just being able to leave it in situ would probably be worth £50 for me!

Like another poster said, it's also about not having a guarantee. Many appliances bought nowadays don't last much longer than 4 or 5 years, so anyone buying one that's getting close to that age is taking a decent risk as it is. It's simply not worth paying much for.

If I were moving into a new house with an integrated washing machine I would have left the old one for the people buying my house if they wanted it. Or given it away.

I'd advertise for £100, accept £80 if haggled.

I don't think it's too cheap either, in fact you likely did well.

She's just split with her husband and is leaving with her dcs so I thought it would help her out.

Was going to say £100 but read your update and can't argue with your decision, that was really kind of you ritaBx

Sounds like you did well actually OP.

I'd have bought it for £50 so you've got a good price for it.
