It could be your location also, if California still has high water rates many might have switched to HE models to cut utility costs, therefore lower resale values. |

As Glen mentioned appliances have very poor resale value, people always talk about what percentage you lose if you trade a 1 YO car in, well I figure that you would be lucky to 1/2 of what you paid back on almost any used appliance in less than one year.
To suggest or prove that SQs have lower resale value you would have to average at least a few hundred resales to get close to a real number.
We find at our dealership we can easily get an extra $50-300 for used SQs over any other brand of used laundry appliance we sell.

$200 for a 10 year old washer seems like pretty good money. |

the thread from this one is a set for 100.00.....SQ washer and a Maytag dryer....for 50.00 each, you can't go wrong with either one....
you could re-sell the dryer for 100.00 and not cost you a dime... comes down to two things, snooze you loose, and money talks! I guess it depends on areas, but used Speed Queen washers don't come around all that often for sale.....luck is maybe once or twice a year..... CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK |

Thanks What is "HD Commercial?" Any idea on the age of those washer/dryers? Is there a way to tell whether the dryer is gas or electric, based upon the photos? |

Just off the top of one's head:
newjersey.craigslist.org/app/d/s... hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/app/... boston.craigslist.org/search/ppa... longisland.craigslist.org/app/d/... westernmass.craigslist.org/app/d... vermont.craigslist.org/app/d/spe... chambersburg.craigslist.org/app/... You can see, well you can see we are awash in SQ washers and dryers here in north east. As for prices there is quite a range. |

Seems like they put the higher price on the dryer and keep washer's low. A $100 difference between W and D!... I an sure a washer costs way more to manufacture... |

Used washers and dryers are just that, used washers and dryers. Regardless of the brand there is no real resale value for them. It isn't like a house or car. |

Newer "cheap" TTs---AVIOD-AVIOD these like the plague!!!!!!They can DAMAGE your records.Buy an older TT and fix it up-This would be MUCH better.New record users will get disappointed with a "new" TT over an older one. |
