my opinion- if it runs, 100 bucks and you make them haul it away. if it doesn't run, or needs repairs- give it away to anyone that will haul it away.

a more scientific approach

take the original purchase price (example- $1000 for both)

take the estimated life expectancy of the appliance (i think its about 10 years for washers and dryers)

take purchase price divided by life expectancy $1000/10 = $100 depreciation per year

so... a 4 year old W/D may be valued at $600

a 5 year old W/D may be valued at $500

a 6 year old W/D may be valued at $400

etc, etc....

however keep in mind that a machine that is towards the end of it's life expectancy will need more repairs and thus value will be much less

i'd also add $50 if i have to help you move the darn things
