From Arcade to Money Made!

I love to haul away vintage arcade machines.  They’re popular among collectors as long as they work.

More than that, I love to make money for our clients when we sell their good stuff and give them money back.  That’s popular among everybody, as long as they work.

The Popeye Arcade Machine Job

A nice lady in Great Falls, Virginia contacted us to haul away some of her stuff.  Among that stuff was a vintage Popeye Nintendo arcade machine.  She paid us $250 to haul away two pickup truck loads of stuff, using our Speedpass link on our website.  The normal price for this amount of hauling is $350…

So on the first visit we hauled away some junk, including some carpet, a chair, and some miscellaneous stuff.  We left the arcade machine to haul away on the next visit but we did take some photos of it so we could put it up for sale.

Thank You Facebook Marketplace!

I checked online and found this same machine selling for about $400.  One guy was asking $2,450, but no one went after it.  So I listed her machine on Facebook Marketplace for $795 after plugging the machine in and verifying that it worked.  Within 48 hours I had sold it for my asking price.

Cash Back for the Customer on the Arcade Machine

Women with cash back from arcade sale

She got $280 back within 48 hours after only spending $250 on her junk removal job!

Whenever we sell something that we’re hauling away for a customer, they get 35 percent of the sales price as long as we sell it for more than $20.  Our client’s share on this one sale was $280!  She was thrilled to get the money plus we still have other items to sell!

Welcome to the next generation of junk removal–cash back when we sell your good stuff!  (We must be eating our spinach…)

 

SCRAP METAL RECYCLE

Recycling is important to us at 1-800-Junk-Refund, particularly when it comes to scrap metal.  We love to use the boys at Montgomery Scrap on Southlawn Lane in Rockville to recycle our stuff.

Recycle These Scrap Metal Items:

  1. First of all, appliances like refrigerators, freezers, washers, dryers, dishwashers and microwave ovens.

    Montgomery Scrap handles all our metal recycle needs.

    We love the folks at Montgomery Scrap. Here they unload a metal milling machine to be recycled. That’s just one example of how we recycle! Wire such as extension cords, stereo wires, television wires, computer wires and the like.

  2. Then metals like copper, aluminum, brass, and stainless steel.
  3. Also batteries from cars and other vehicles.
  4. Even old bicycles, exercise equipment, weight sets, lamps, gutters, nuts and bolts.
  5. Metal from cars, like brake shoes, rotors, radiators, wheel rims, and motors.
  6. Even cars themselves are recycled!
  7. Of course, regular metal items like garbage cans, barbecues, grates, weight sets, tools, electric tools, and finally light fixtures.
  8. Also, air conditioners, water heaters, humidifiers, and portable heaters get recycled.
  9. Most of all, call us with any questions you might have.  We give free estimates!

Those of you who live on a farm and may have old farming equipment should call us.  We use heavy equipment to haul off large hay balers, fence sections, tractors, plows, levelers, lawn mowers, and the like.

Call us if you have old cars (particularly the ones that someone thinks they are going to restore but never seem to get around to it) that are just taking up room in your driveway or backyard.  When in doubt, just call us to find out!

Please call us when you have any questions.  Our minimum charge to pick up is $95 with a pick-up truck full running $229 and the equivalent of four pick-up trucks running $595.  Just mention this post and get 10% off!
