Sell Your Fridge Freezer in the US

Used fridge freezers in the US typically sell for $120 to $470. Large fridge freezers are heavy, awkward and cheap to buy new at the budget end, so condition and access do most of the pricing.

Selling a fridge freezer in the US

Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.

USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.

Working out what yours is worth

Run it for a day and check both compartments reach temperature
Count the shelves, drawers and door bins against the manual

Getting it ready

Measure the height, width and depth, and note the fridge and freezer capacities separately.
Clean it thoroughly inside, including the door seals, and check the seals still grip a sheet of paper.

Configuration, capacity and features: “Samsung 70/30 Frost Free Fridge Freezer, 300L, A+”. The fridge to freezer split is a genuine search term. Frost free is worth stating because it saves the buyer real effort and commands a premium.

Steady all year, with a lift in summer and around moving season. Working appliances are often distress purchases and sell quickly.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $471 a buyer pays is the $471 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Where in the US

Common questions

Where can I sell a fridge freezer in the US?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.

Does it get properly cold?

Run it for a day with a thermometer and report actual temperatures. Vague reassurance is worth nothing on a refrigeration appliance.

How do I test the door seal?

Close the door on a sheet of paper and pull. If it slides out easily the seal has perished, which lets warm air in and drives up running costs.

Who moves a fridge freezer?

The buyer, almost always. Say in the listing whether it is upstairs and whether it has been transported upright.
