Example used washer listing

Whirlpool Top-Load Washer — 4.5 Cu. Ft.

Whirlpool top-load washer with 4.5 cu. ft. capacity. I checked fill, wash, drain, and spin cycles. Light scratches on the lid are shown. Hot and cold hoses included; buyer should bring an appliance dolly and loading help.

Replace every detail with facts you verified. Never reuse a model, measurement, test result, or condition claim that does not apply to your item.

Plan a safe, clear handoff

Confirm doorway dimensions, stairs, hookups, and whether the buyer must bring an appliance dolly and loading help.

Meet in an appropriate location, keep payment terms clear, and do not make unsupported safety or working-condition claims.

Used Washer selling questions

How much should I ask for used washer?

Start with comparable local listings for the same or closest model, then adjust for age, capacity, brand, and efficiency features, confirmed wash, drain, and spin operation, included hoses or pedestal and comparable local listings. ListNestly's Price Advisor can help organize those confirmed factors without claiming a live market average.

What photos should I take of used washer?

Include full front, sides, top, and control panel, drum, agitator or door seal, and detergent drawer, model plate with unnecessary serial details obscured. Add clear close-ups of every defect rather than relying on a vague condition label.

What problems should I disclose?

Disclose anything known or observed, especially leaks around hoses, pump, or door seal and failure to drain or reach spin speed. Say exactly what you checked and identify anything you did not test.

What information belongs in the listing?

Include dimensions and loading style, cycles and functions personally checked, hose and power requirements, plus honest pickup or delivery expectations.

Should I offer delivery?

Offer delivery only if you can do it safely and describe the fee, distance, unloading help, and timing clearly. Confirm doorway dimensions, stairs, hookups, and whether the buyer must bring an appliance dolly and loading help.
