For appliance flippers

Heavy to move. Expensive to get wrong.

Kommandr OS is software for appliance flippers: it alerts you to underpriced washers, dryers, fridges and ranges near you the moment they post, keeps repair parts and hours against each individual machine, and shows the real profit after fees, fuel and the repair.

One flat plan — $397/mo at public launch. Founding members keep $197/mo for life.

Why this trade is harder than it looks

“The buy decision happens in a driveway, in about ninety seconds.”

A listing goes up, six people message within the hour, and you are deciding whether a fifteen-year-old front-loader is worth a forty-minute drive on the strength of three dark photos and a seller who says it "was working when we took it out". Get that wrong and it is not a small loss — it is a truck, a helper, a dolly and a machine you now have to store or scrap.

“The repair is where the money goes, and nobody writes it down.”

A pump here, a control board there, an hour with a multimeter and two trips to the parts place. Each one feels minor. At the end of the month the bank balance disagrees with the sale prices, and there is no record that explains the gap because the parts receipts are in a glovebox and the hours were never counted at all.

“Every buyer asks the same question and I answer it forty times a week.”

Does it work, do you deliver, will you install it, what is the warranty, can you do it Saturday. The same six questions on every unit, typed out again by hand, usually while you are under a machine with dirty hands and a phone that keeps buzzing.

What Kommandr OS does about it

The one that matters most
Know what a unit is worth before you drive

Set what you flip — washers, dryers, fridges, ranges, stackables, a brand you know well — and Kommandr watches the local marketplaces and eBay for you, alerting you the moment something matching posts near you. Each catch arrives with the ask price, the source and the distance, so the first decision you make is whether it is worth the fuel, not whether you noticed it in time.

Parts and hours live on the machine

Log the pump, the board, the belt and the time against the specific unit rather than in a general pile. When it sells, the profit figure is the sale price minus what you actually paid, what you actually spent fixing it, and the fuel it took to collect and deliver — not a number that quietly ignores three hours and a $90 part.

One upload, listed everywhere, taken down when it goes

Photograph the finished machine once. Kommandr writes the title, the description and the spec line, and posts it to your own accounts across the local marketplaces and eBay plus your own storefront. When it sells, the item is marked sold and pulled from your storefront so nobody is enquiring about a machine that left on Tuesday.

The six questions, answered without you

Delivery area, install, warranty terms, payment, collection times and whether it runs — written once as your standard answers and drafted into replies automatically, so a buyer at nine at night gets a straight answer while you are asleep and you approve it in the morning.

Why the sale price tells you almost nothing

A dryer bought at $60 and sold at $250 looks like $190. Then you remember the heating element was $48, the drum rollers were $22, you spent two hours on it, and the round trip to collect it and the round trip to deliver it were fifty miles between them. The real number is a long way from $190, and the gap is invisible unless something recorded it at the time.

That gap is also where the useful decisions live. Two machines can sell for the same money and be completely different businesses — one a clean resale, the other a rebuild that ate a Sunday. Once parts and hours sit against the specific unit rather than in a monthly lump, patterns become obvious: which brands are worth buying broken, which faults are never worth chasing, and which distance stops being worth the fuel.

Kommandr keeps the cost basis, the parts, the fuel and the marketplace fees against each item, and puts a tax set-aside on every sale so the money you owe later is not money you have already spent. It is the same arithmetic a good operator does in their head, written down, so it still works on the months when there is no time to do it in your head.

Where this does not fit

Kommandr OS does not diagnose appliances. It will not read an error code, tell you whether a compressor is going, or price a repair — that is your trade and no software is going to do it from a photograph. It is also not a field-service platform: there is no technician dispatch, no work-order queue and no parts inventory with reorder points. If you run a repair business that happens to resell, the fit is partial. If you run a resale business that happens to repair, it fits properly.

The repair is the margin. Count it.

Underpriced units the moment they post, parts and hours against the machine they went into, and a profit figure that has already subtracted the drive.

Appliance flipping software FAQ

What software do appliance flippers use?

Most use nothing built for it: a notes app for what a unit cost, a spreadsheet for the month, the marketplace apps for listing, and their memory for what parts went into which machine. Kommandr OS is the operating system around the whole job — sourcing alerts, per-unit costs including parts and labour, one-upload listing to your own accounts, and true profit after fees and fuel.

Can it tell me whether an appliance is worth buying?

It tells you what is available near you, at what price, from what source and how far away, the moment it posts. It does not inspect the machine for you and it will not tell you whether the bearings are going — that judgement is yours and it is the part of the job you are actually being paid for. What the software removes is the part where you miss a good unit because you were not refreshing an app at the right minute.

Does it track repair parts and labour?

Yes, against the individual unit rather than as general expenses. That is the distinction that matters in this trade: two identical dryers can be a good month and a bad one depending on what went into them, and a profit figure that treats parts as a lump sum at the end of the month cannot show you which is which.

Can I list to more than one marketplace at once?

Yes. You photograph a unit once and it posts to your own connected accounts across the local marketplaces and eBay, plus your own storefront on your own domain. The listings go out from your accounts, not from a shared storefront sitting between you and the buyer.

Do you handle delivery scheduling?

Pickups and deliveries go on a calendar with times, addresses and reminders, which is the part appliance work needs most — the difference between a good week and a bad one is usually whether the Saturday runs were planned or improvised.

What does it cost?

One flat plan with every feature included: $397 a month at public launch, and founding members who join the waitlist before early access keep $197 a month for as long as they stay subscribed. There are no per-listing fees and no tiers.
