A For Parts listing is priced for what can be recovered from it rather than for use, so kitchen and appliance items at this grade are worth roughly 25% of top price — $3 to $118 (about £2 to £88). Not heating, not turning, or leaking. Bought for the motor, the element, the jug, the seals or a matching donor unit.
Where the line falls
Kitchen equipment is beaten by heat, water and detergent: non-stick coatings lift, motor brushes wear down, and seals go hard and stop sealing.
For comparison, one grade up is Fair Kitchen and Appliance Items.

Do the accessories still come with it?
Dead or leaking beyond repair for its owner, but with the accessories, the glassware and the motor assembly still worth having.
