You would be right with the appliance service, but you can only service like 5-8 appliances a day, and I can sell 20+ appliances in the same time frame.

Typical profit margin on a used washer is $100 net. So its pretty close either way.
Interesting about the furniture. Do you have a lot of repeat customers for the furniture? I for one, purchased my furniture 20 years ago and do not foresee replacing it again in my lifetime. Maybe that's just me because I'm frugal.

I tried my hand at fixing washers and driers but they are too bulky for me to move around. Also, I would be selling them out of my garage and people will want to see them run first. I would need a 220v outlet and a plumbing run to the garage.

My profit margin on push mowers run between $50 to $150 each. About $200 on the ridings. And about $40 for the generators, saws, stringers, etc.
