$100 for a broken washing machine... Id haggle for half that. Maybe a solid deal to a repair person! Used washing machines cost $300. And there is a market for machines that don't sing songs or connect to your apple watch.

Of course, the major unknown on a washing machine is if the motor & tub works correctly or not. And if it doesn't, the machine is good for parts.

Of course, I'm not a repair person - but I've fixed a bunch of hardware. And sometimes the main reason for broken hardware is a few loose wires on the circuit board. I don't think it's that easy for a washing machine.

God, I’m so thankful that I live in Appalachia. Most of us are dirt poor so we know we ain’t gonna get big money for big shit.

I buy a used dryer when mine fucks up for 20-50 bucks.

I still have the same washer my mom had when I was a teenager. It’s about to take a shit. No worries. I’ll get one for 60 bucks from the local trade magazine from one of the local rich folks who know good and well their fellow richers won’t buy it used so they let us have it for next to nothing. All we gotta do is borrow bubba’s truck for a suboxone and go get it.

Same with furniture. My leather sofa was three months old when I bought it. It has phone chargers, and everything. $200 bucks.

Heyuhl yeeah muhfucker! Go Mountaineers!
