ok, I'm combining two related topics into one superpost:
Our basement flooded last year, ruining our washer and dryer. We've had them looked at and it's going to be more expensive to get them fixed than to just buy a new set (they were really nice 4 years ago and are middle of the road now. frontloading washer)
1) It seems really wasteful to throw out this washer dryer set, but I don't feel like paying $1000 to get them fixed when I could have the same set brand new for less. Is this wrong? Could I donate them or something?
2) People on Craigslist are crazy. $200 will get you a one year old w/d set or a set from 1987.
