    How to obtain inventory?

    Best part it's FREE!

    Good recyclable appliances can be found in your neighborhood. Many appliances with a single problem can be found at the curbside. They will be set out for trash pickup. Repairs can be done quickly on washing machines, clothes dryers, and refrigerators. Salvage good parts to cut part costs, enabling the appliance to be sold without much cost. For example, a clothes dryer may need a drum belt replaced. Most washing machines, stoves, and refrigerators, may need simple and inexpensive repair. Go by big box stores to tell them that you will pick up their customer's discarded appliances for free for recyling, at no charge to the store or the customer.

    Reselling recyclable, repairable appliances, renting them, or doing service repair work, will not require much start-up capital. Use your garage for a work shop, start at home or rent a small shop.

    Placing classified ads in the newspaper may work too for picking up discarded appliance for resale.

    Start with washing machines and clothes dryers at first and stick with only one manufactor. AU suggests Whirlpool because they market under many brand names. This will enable you to keep a small inventory to keep cost down by spreading the cost over many brands.

    Whirlpool Clothes washers uses direct drive systems in which the motor attaches to the transmission with a rubber and plastic coupling. After a few years, this coupling will wear and break. The repair is cheap and only takes a few minutes. See video tutorial Whirlpool Direct Drive Washer
