hello and welcome back for another vlog
i have had such a overwhelming response
of people questioning me about the
refrigerator parts
so i want to do a quick
this isn't going to be quick um i'm
going to walk you through how to do this
we've had um several comments and we've
had
several people to message us and ask us
about
the refrigerator parts okay i'm going to
go from top to bottom
where you need to start to the time to
ship the product
so this may be a long vlog
but it's going to be step by step on how
you can get refrigerator parts
for free and make money
we had two refrigerators that went bad
we sold the shelving and different other
parts off of them
we probably made
probably about what would you say about
nine hundred dollars
we made about nine hundred dollars off
of two refrigerators that both needed
freon
and we ended up buying two brand new
refrigerators on scratch and dent
for a total of five hundred dollars so
we made four hundred dollars profit
when i started part of the refrigerators
out
i started looking at new prices versus
used prices
i could not believe how much
this shelving sells for knew
i told my husband i was like oh my gosh
i was like no we need to get into this
okay so now we sell refrigerator parts
um i advertise on craigslist
for the plastic shelving which is this
here
what we usually do is pay the pay the
person a dollar or two for each of these
but when you go to pick these up well
let me go back you can
you can put put an ad on craigslist put
and
put a post on facebook at least once a
week say hey
do you or anybody you know have an old
refrigerator that's no longer working
that you don't want
the the shelving out of
tell them to give them a dollar or two
for the shelving
they'll take it trust me okay
um if you know anybody that works at a
recycling center
um we have a local company here that
picks the refrigerators up
and we go them a dollar each
to sell on ebay so we're paying someone
for their
time of calling us and telling us hey
you know we've got this many parts
come and get them first thing that you
want to do
is make sure please make sure
you get the model number off the
refrigerator
that goes with these parts my advice is
sticky notes and tape
and when you get a refrigerator
that has been closed up it has a really
bad odor or if it has mold
do not fool with it because that smell
will not come out
when we get ours and get home what i
always do is i clean them with bleach
and then i clean them with vinegar
really really good sometimes
the shelving will get like some of the
shelving is like
got these fronts here that does not move
and they'll get like
where people have spill food down you
can't get that out i always make sure
that i put a close-up shot of that on my
description
on my photos and um
i added in the condition section okay so
i'm going to try to speed up a little
bit
this i want to add this in right quick
this is out of a really old refrigerator
that was probably about 40 years old
[Music]
what i use it for now is for small
pieces and i put it on the shelf
and i have small things in it that i
have of quantity like
door handles old door knobs or something
and this is what i keep in mind on the
shelf and you just pull it out and just
get your parts out and that's
that's what i use this for it's the
refrigerator this came out of is so
old it wouldn't it didn't sell on ebay
so i just
found a creative way of how to use this
and it's it's really handy
okay let's speed this up a little bit
and what happens to these refrigerator
parts the reason why people need them
is a lot of times kids will hang onto
these like they'll open these to get
something out
and they'll pull on the fronts of them
and they'll break
so or they just break from having too
much weight on them so
this shelf here came out of a samsung
refrigerator
my gracious neighbor they their
refrigerator
quit working so they gave it to us and
let us have the
parts out of it if we just hauled it
away for them and that's another great
way to do it
um and you could put an ad if you had an
old refrigerator
you know i'll give you 10 bucks for the
refrigerator
but then you can go and make a couple
hundred dollars off of the parts off of
it
so this is a shelf
the the door refrigerator shelf that
came off and it opens and closes
and i have the part number on it i have
a piece of paper you'll have to overlook
my scribbles
the model the refrigerator is is the
rs2555
okay what i do is
here's the trick to it part numbers
very important always look on the bottom
when you see this number here type it
into the google
just google it and see what comes up
the you'll then get an idea of how much
you sell for new
what i do as i take a new price
and i cut it down
i sell these for anywhere from
25 to 50 percent of what a new one is
keep it cheap because you want to move
them quick because
refrigerator parts no joke they take up
a lot of space we have a 9x12 metal
storage building
and that's going to be in a later vlog
of where we keep our stuff stored at
but the refrig the part numbers are very
important
sometimes part numbers will be on the
inside of these lips
sometimes they'll be up under here they
can even be inside of here
you want to look them over really really
good to see where the part number is
and this is a dairy tray
a door dairy tray and when i list it on
ebay i listed
samsung refrigerator
model number and i put the model number
to the refrigerator which is the rs
number
and then i put door
dairy shelf p
and then the hashtag or pay on sign and
then i put this
and then if there's any other numbers or
anything with this
like some of these parts that we have
have other numbers with them
i will go in the description and add
those numbers in the description because
sometimes when you're searching on ebay
those numbers will pick up also even
though they're not in the title
so
some parts do not have part numbers on
them
here's another one the legs
that levels the refrigerator does not
have a part number on it
what you want to do is you type in
i'm not promoting this website or
anything but this is the best website i
have found that has the schematics and
the part numbers on it
it's appliancepartspros.com
let's see if i can get that camera a
little bit closer so y'all can see it
okay they have the best
resources for the schematics
on here i'm not promoting this site but
they do have a lot of every refrigerator
that we have parted out
they have had all of the part numbers
the schematics and everything
and when you scroll down through here it
even shows you the price of the stuff
um like the capacitor
it's 22.85 new okay
i'll just randomly look some of this
stuff up on ebay and they're
less than half price used
um like the main control board
even though it's brand new it's 110.53
if your refrigerator went app went out
only because it needed to
free on there's nothing wrong with the
control board then
my advice i would sell it on ebay but
put
that the refrigerator need it free on
that's if you
if you have someone that you know that
wouldn't charge you a penny to come look
at your refrigerator which we're lucky
we do
then i was selling on ebay and say
as a part it's you don't want to put it
as
new or used you want to put it for
repair or parts
and then just list on there that their
your refrigerator went out
it needed free on this is the board
um this hair doesn't have
this or this i was just using this as an
example but this is what you want to
look for though
and what i do is i just put in the
refrigerator
model number this came out the samsung
and then i put part numbers and
just i just scroll through there and see
what comes up but this
appliancepartspros.com
has got the best schematics that i have
found and we've actually bought a couple
refrigerator parts over there off of it
that we actually needed ourselves
so it kind of works out for the good but
these feet
i sell these for 3.99 cheap
they're 29.99 brand new
so quick money and basically i got these
for free
so by the time i pay my ebay paypal fees
which i figure is 26
or 25 across the board i'll probably
make about
two or three bucks that pays my ebay and
paypal fees
so then
that's how you want to list it on ebay
when you go to pack these
what i do is if it has a door
i always take a piece of
bubble wrap
and put it like this all down through
here i'm not
doing this one i've got to list this one
put a piece all around here actually
sometimes you want to take chances these
will come off
i think this one will come off yep
this will come off so what i'll do is
i'll wrap this
with bubble wrap then i'll wrap this
and what i'll do is i'll just nest it
like this
and then i'll bubble wrap all of this
together
and then i'll box it i make all of my
boxes i make
custom because we do not sell the same
size
of anything we never sell
well very few items do we have a
quantity of
so i have to make all of my boxes
and then make a box and then around
that box you just made take two more
layers of bubble wrap around that box
and then make make another box around
all that so they do not get crushed in
shipping because
we've handled a few of these before and
just the slightest bend and they crack
so you gotta figure they're gonna be
dropped they're gonna the box is gonna
be dropped it's gonna be thrown it's
gonna be kicked it's gonna be pushed
it's gonna have other things set on it
you wanna make sure that you've got it
double wrapped and double boxed
to prevent any breakage and always use
the priority mail not the flat rate
boxes
not the any boxes you can make your own
box you can still print it as
priority mail in your drop down menu and
you can select
package or large package
and then you're good to go sometimes it
is
cheaper to mail these by ups
um i shipped one item one time by fedex
and got burnt when i went in to do the
fedex rate
i wanted a inclusive rate those in the
trucking industry know exactly what i'm
talking about
they failed to give me a inclusive rate
we got a
separate bill for 33
[Music]
right at 34 game over fedex
not gonna happen again so i either use
the post office or ups
whichever is cheapest is usually what i
will
ship with okay
another thing and i'm gonna give y'all
some little goodies that
so good these are
the little
i know it's got these on them somewhere
these are the little things that hold
the door
frames
and you can't see it
it is the part number is actually
inside of here and what you have to do
is get actually get a flashlight and
look down in there
but it's down in the very bottom of this
right here down in the very bottom
and then get your sticky note with tape
and tape it on here
then that way you'll know put your
refrigerator model number
and put this part number and then put
the name of the part then that way when
it sells
i do i do all my refrigerator parts i'm
bite now
i do not do bite now or best offer
unless i've had it for six months
after that buy now our best offer and
get rid of it
because technically once you take out
the parts of a refrigerator
and sell them individually you're going
to make a lot of money at least
two three maybe even more
but that's what we have come to as parts
are selling better
than anything right now these are the
little hinges that
the frame of the inside of the
refrigerator door these are the little
things that hold the trim on the whole
light
the liquids and the stuff in the door
here's another one
again this is the first the first thing
i look for is the part number and it's
got a part number on it
the camera will zoom in on it
and i wrote the part number on down here
then that way
when i keep all of mine in totes
i i get large totes when they're on
clearance
um or wherever
auctions we buy totes when we combine
cheap
and we have our i keep our totes
numbered as to what's in them so
i automatically know in my mind that
tote number 21 has these samsung parts
and i just have a memory i can go to
those totes
just like that and get them out it's
memory for me
and this is also a shelf that goes in
the door
it is this is a little discolored
you can't tell in here again i'm moving
my ebay
little white and a little yellow take a
picture of this
put it in the condition so the buyers
can
potential buyers can see it but when you
put something in
the description that's a negative like
this like the color
you want to add has a slight
discoloration on the
top on the front i'm sorry
like a yellow like a yellowish blemish
these parts came from my neighbor so
they do not smoke
and they're not nasty people so and
that's why we have these
it i believe it was just where it had
set out
and the front so long against the other
shelf but just put it has a slight
yellowish discoloration on it
on the front but it does not
there's nothing else wrong with it it
works as designed and intended
that's very important i've found with
these refrigerator parts
always pick out the flaw first
but then in the condition but then put
but this does work as designed and
intended
i have a couple that has
a crack on them i put that in
description
has a crack on the front front of like
all right let's look at this one here we
go prime example this one has a small
crack i don't know if you can see it or
not right here
okay on the inside
you can see it of course it needs to be
clean
but that small crack does not
keep that from working as designed and
intended
this is a tray that goes down in the
bottom these sell
really really good right too these the
the drawers that goes in the very bottom
refrigerators these are the best-selling
things right here
the best-selling things i'm trying to
keep my computer on
and just clean it good there is
scratches on the front of it
and what i do in the item description is
put i hold it at an angle like that with
a light
but make sure there's no glare and i
say has scrat slight scratches and
blemishes
from use and a crack on the front
and then in parentheses i put but does
not
keep it from working as designed and
intended other than that
works great slides great nothing else
wrong with it
again where's our part number at
okay here's a good one for y'all
sometimes they put them in the most
peculiar places
okay sisters does not have a part number
on it
it has letters on the bottom okay
this is where looking up
the refrigerator model with the
schematics and the part numbers
we know this is the vegetable and fruit
drawer is what this is so
what you'll do is you'll go in here and
you'll look for the
vegetable and fruit drawer
see if i can i'm gonna try to look it up
and now y'all are saying gosh she takes
too much time
but i've i've had so many okay these
here
these here
these right here is this
and then what you do is like to have
number 20 like
22 on this here i believe that's the one
it is right here
what you do is you scroll down here to
the bottom
and it just says door shelf and that's
what you do
these are 2105. i'll sell these for
6.99 plus shipping
profit four dollars profit
if you take four dollars profit
times 10 of these you got 40 bucks
and i'm minusing ebay and paypal fees
and the price that we you know we pay a
dollar each for these just
for the people saving their time it's
profit
you can't go wrong with something like
this and this stuff is hot sellers
um i know a lot of people like doing
clothes and i'm not trying to knock
anybody for doing clothes
but this here is just
such a good seller and such a good way
to make money and a good way to recycle
because these daggone things are
expensive i mean look at the price of
this 2105
and this down here it also has a part
number here
and what the part number here is
different than the part number here
so what i do is i'll go in and type it
in
ebay exactly the way it is here because
this could
be this business's own part number
their shelf so i won't put that on my
listing i only put what is on here
i only put what's on here that's what
people are going to look for
so the national fruit drawer back at the
ranch let's go look for it
and also these door handles get this
these door handles
the day i had took some of the parts out
of the refrigerator
it was hot that day it was like 100
degrees outside and i was out
out in the sun parting this thing out
and trying to write down the parts as i
went
and when i opened the refrigerator the
door just went
slam and it broke the handle
and i got to look in the whole entire
handle assembly
you got the handle itself and then you
got the two little
i don't know the name i don't want to
take the time to scroll down but anyway
the handle assembly
the two ends were that screws it on and
then the handle itself
60 dollars i was like i should go hit my
head on the
tree or something right now couldn't
believe i'd done that but
no big thing but just to tell you just
this stuff here and
and the little screws and stuff like the
little
hinge things that holds the handles and
stuff on my gosh
they're 10 15 so like i say there's
money to be
made in this stuff and and i always
started
either charging anywhere between 25 and
50 percent of what
as opposed to new is okay
i know you're saying shut your mouth
keep
looking okay so
now see here it has the refrigerator
shelves
and you can see your parts here um this
also has an option where you can enlarge
it with your
thing so
this looks like it's going to be number
i'm going to pretend that this is number
six because that's what it looks like
and they are out of stock
so that's good for you if you have this
for sale
and somebody's looking for this and
they've got this out of stock guess what
cha-ching you're going to sell they're
5708 new
and it'll tell you so i do anywhere
between 25 and 50
this will go ups because
i can i shipped one of these where was
it utah
wyoming wasn't it um
and shipping was what ups was
was only like twelve dollars and
something wasn't it
i think it was the cheapest i'm trying
to talk to my husband he's in the living
room
he he helps me remember this stuff too
because
we've had some some really weird
shipping rates and they they kind of
make you laugh sometimes
and that's a that's a whole nother
different vlog that's
that's got funny stuff too so
this will go ups again you're gonna wrap
it
on the corners what i do
is i if i don't have any
i'm not going to look for it but if you
have any styrofoam
take your styrofoam
and put piece piece and piece and then
tape it really good and then tape
and then bubble wrap because these
corners can get dinged up
um
it'd been a lot easier if i would have
listed one and that way it wouldn't take
a song
but i'm trying to be thorough for y'all
because we've had so many people to ask
us
and and i just want to try to be as
thorough as possible
this will go ups because it's so large
and this and you you tire wyoming is
where we sold one of these two
the shipping was like 12 12 or something
12.99 or something like that wasn't very
much
um and how much did we sell this for
night we sell these for 19.99 right
we saw them for like 19.99 so we tried
to keep our prices
cheap and reasonable and affordable
because like i say if you're paying
someone
one dollar
that's my husband talking
he said our our business is is to turn
things
fast really fast
fast fast is what we want but you got
people that are wanting this stuff fast
so you know and and to the kind of the
way we look at it is we have fell on
hard times ourselves and couldn't afford
new things so that's another reason why
we try to keep our prices low
um i want to jump off the subject right
quick i see people
constantly asking how much for this how
much for this is it worth it is it worth
it
i don't know you don't know the bet what
i do
is when we go
sourcing and that's gonna be a vlog for
next week
probably an hour long vlog to show and
tell y'all where we get where we get our
stuff
at um as i'm standing there looking at
the item
i'm looking it up on ebay to see what if
it has sold
and two for how much and
if i can make money the way that i look
at it
is for example i'm going to set an
example if i sell
you
