Just a suggestion, I use what looks like the same stock stickers on my parts. If you put a piece of blue painters tape on the part first, the customer will be able to remove it much easier without leaving any residue.
Thoroughly interesting! What kind of system do you use to catalogue your inventory, if any? The problem I see for you in the future, being an avid eBay seller, is that as you ramp up this part of your business, you will have many parts, from many units taking up much space. It will become increasingly confusing and difficult to locate specific parts especially if you are parting identical units. When I started, it was easy to remember where I put each individual item, as I scaled my store it became increasingly disorganized and I feared shipping out the wrong item or having to cancel a sale due to being unable to locate it in my inventory. The consequences, or pains, of negative transactions on eBay are not pleasant! I ended up with a system whereby I label each individual shelf on my racks and place items willy nilly throughout noting the shelf name of each item in the eBay listing itself. This makes it easy to find each item and makes my packing time more efficient. Also, the sales floor was looking plentiful, can't wait to see some videos about that!
Good question! With appliance parts, I have most items separated into categories and sub categories. For example, I have all Whirlpool topload washer control boards in one tote. All mechanical timers in another. One drawer has pressure switches, and another oven relays and so on.... So all the major components have an area. I am working on more shelving to be able to parse out what I have, inventory wise, better. I know a lot of people do exactly what you are talking about - inventory #'s for a given shelf. I've considered that, but also really like having all of one type of component on one shelf or area, so if I need to inventory a given type of item, I can pull everything and deal with it at once rather than pull from multiple shelves for one item that tends to sell well. But I'll definitely take it into consideration!
@@bensappliancesandjunk Hey Ben I just started tearing down and parting out Oven and Dishwasher parts on ebay but having some trouble. I've sold a few here and there but not much. There are so many different part numbers and Brands for the same exact part that you are sell lol. What's the secret to listing? Iv been looking up all the part numbers for the one specific item and including it in the title and description with everything else but it's not working to well. Any tips?
Subscribed! Try to sell the smaller parts internationally. Just paid US$75 for a TMD1EM03 and knob in Canada. Couldn't find a used one anywhere. And it's a dryer timer, we could live without it for another week during the summer for shipping. I've been Ebaying on/off for 20 years now. I hate quick sales! It means I priced my items too low. I'd gladly wait a month for a sale to get an extra 10%+. Best investment ever. Set the price high, then lower it over time if it doesn't move. Lots of reasons why someone will buy yours vs. a cheaper one, e.g. they're near you and need the part *yesterday*.
Mary personal favorite is to take the drum off the older Whirlpool washers. I'll have somebody come by either Scrappers so pick up the scraps and I'll sell the drama loan for $30 locally. People use these washer drums preferably more porcelain than the metal as fire pits.
They do sell for quite a bit if the board/interface are still good. But if you can get a cheap repair in and flip for $300/400 or so.. May want to go that route.
I have a used RF268ABRS by Samsung that was a total PITA. Eventually I lost all the Freon charge from leaking tube(s) near the compressor. That puppy cost me over $2000!!! Now I hate to throw it out knowing the prices for drawers, rails, doors, and the circuit boards. Odds are the compressor is not really bad, just needing a vacuum pulled for a a day. There are also the coils, 2 icemakers, and fans, glass and racks. I just never sold on ebay and I have a few odds and ends that may be worth selling like a PT Cruiser Tail light lens that I mistakenly bought the wrong side. Anybody got pointers of other places to resale used stuff?
Facebook Marketplace is great for *certain* things. You aren't going to sell lights or rails easily, but larger complete pieces of anything are gonna do really well.
@@bensappliancesandjunk What has worked best for you on boxing and shipping the deli drawers such as the ones in your video. I am having to make Frankenstein boxes when it comes to these drawers. Which boxes have worked good for you?

As a long time Parts seller on ebay. This is a really great video. Thanks

Never thought about selling the parts! Great video!

Thanks for the breakdown.
Thanks for watching!
Hey Ben do you have updated videos on this?

I need to start listing mine. I had someone come in that wanted a few for fire pits, but never came/paid for them after I stocked a few.
How do you ship a big item like a washer on eBay.
lovely video
Thanks!
Awesome video! Just started following of ur brother's channel. Keep up the awesome videos!
Welcome aboard!
I have a bunch of drain pumps , control boards, and other parts, I don’t know what to do with em
If i were you I would sell the doors off the front refridgerator and freezer for more money if they are still in good condition?
Ben, then at the end of stripping appliances down do then sell the scrap?
Yes. Or I'll trade someone them stripping all the usable parts for them getting the scrap
I have a 2017 Samsung aqua jet just came in my shop , you think I should tear it down or fix it , do these parts go for decent money on eBay ?
They do sell for quite a bit if the board/interface are still good. But if you can get a cheap repair in and flip for $300/400 or so.. May want to go that route.
Great info and video, wondering how I can sell brand new Whirlpool dishwasher pump/motor (Whirlpool sent two of them to me for free).
Ebay it
I have two brand new whirlpool front load washer outer tubs any ideas where I can sell them.
Ebay
Thank you
whats the cost of getting rid of fridge after selling all parts? how do you get rid of it? thanks
Sell it to a recycling center
Great video! Thank you!
What is the cheapest way to get rid of large parts that won't sell?
Scrap yard? I guess it depends on what you consider a large part, and why it won't sell
Is there a website that buys used parts to fix ?
CoreCentric USED to, but they no longer do. Only real way now is Ebay.
How do you make your labels
Dymo Turbo 450
What is your Ebay ID or your store name?
I have a used RF268ABRS by Samsung that was a total PITA. Eventually I lost all the Freon charge from leaking tube(s) near the compressor.
That puppy cost me over $2000!!!

Shipping is really expensive with all these big parts.
It is, but many sell quickly. So being prepared yields good profits.
@@bensappliancesandjunk What has worked best for you on boxing and shipping the deli drawers such as the ones in your video. I am having to make Frankenstein boxes when it comes to these drawers. Which boxes have worked good for you?
@@suzyrojo9801 18x14x12, then 20x16x12. The most lucrative are the Frigidaire Kenmore ones in my opinion and they all fit in the 18s.
Thanks!!
Wear gloves AT ALL TIMES when dismantling!!!!!!! Just made that mistake :(
Why ship parts for free? A customer who needs a part will understand it’s gonna cost money to have it shipped.
Incentive to buy from me versus competitors.
What about your time?
The amount of time to pull shelves and gaskets from this refrigerator was maybe 5min of work.
need some grates for a FRIGIDAIRE FCRG3052ASC
