[@philliphall5198]

Seems the young people just don’t care much about doing any physical work and could careless about learning anything except begging from parents This is a great idea and honest living Plus the harder you work the more you can make 😊😊😊 Happy for you guys

[@WasherDryerMoney]

This is a fun interview. so much can be learned from just listening to repair guys talking business.

[@philiprollins2278]

U guys touch base on everything I go through. But I love fighting the ge washers lol. Keep up the good work

[@philliphall5198]

Very big deman for cheap appliances and lawn equipment also and that’s what I do Fix and sale, plus repair work It’s just fun and buys medicine for my disability wife

[@davidmartin5810]

The best information 🎉

[@thewannabetradesman]

Love your channel and your content, but it's just fitting that there's a beer ad under the video lol. You don't focus on all this being flashy and pretty you share your info and knowledge and dont care about all that camera stuff. I can appreciate that, it's rare now.

Ben, How do you avoid scams on EBay?

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Take pictures of everything. Be weary of returns. Document it all.

[@iand2692]

What’s a good price range to sell box dryers and digital Samsungs. I fix them easy but it takes forever to sell.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

I do $125 to 140 on box dryers and 165 plus on Sammy's. I have an ad on Facebook for dryers only. Just pics of a few and general prices. I'm selling out that way.

[@elmbaker1683]

Great knowledge thanks.

[@philliphall5198]

Seems your wife can ship and handle used parts to me, kids can stay at store or let bus drop them off at store after school It’s a family thing and has to be that way in business ❤

[@ACoustaDC]

Please answer this... why don't either one of you guys mention, talk about, or seem to repair speed queen?

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

I've gotten a total of 2 Speed Queen washers that were repairable in 5 years at my store. They are either totally hosed and ancient or I just don't get them. There are few dealers where I live, so they are rare otherwise. Remember, I make videos based on what's available and what breaks, not what I can't get my hands on and deal with frequently. I have dealt with a few at my brothers' laundromat and have a video or two about that, but that's been about it so far. If I was going to do a video on what you'd want to buy as a consumer, I'd mention Speed Queen frequently, but I've never touched that topic yet.

[@floydlooney6837]

That was interesting.

How to rent a shop ?

[@ksfernand]

You charge way to little. I sell stacked washer/dryers for minimum $550. We sell most washers and dryers for $250+. I’m in Gary Indiana it’s impoverished but we still make really good $.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

I'm slowly raising my prices. My issue is that I'm trying to stay at the level of my competitors, maybe $5-10 less so that's where I'm at. But I am raising them as I go.

[@dacoldest3896]

Bens appliances and junk. So starting this business is best in low income areas? Or it doesnt matter

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Doesn't matter. People need cheap appliances when new ones are $1500 a set. I get sales from low to mid income. If its a newer used set, you can get middle to upper income types too
