Ask yourself this: Why should you pay top-dollar prices for brand new "in the box" appliances when you can have them out of the box with the same warranty for a significant amount less? When you begin to think about buying scratch and dent appliances in Seabrook Island, it begins to make all the sense in the world.
Don't let the term "scratch and dent" scare you - all of our appliances are high-quality, name-brand products that are in great condition. You won't ever have to worry about an inoperable oven or a faulty dryer when you shop at Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair. Our appliances are all unused and shipped to use straight off the assembly line. That's right - you're paying bottom-of-the-barrel prices for brand new products that your family and friends will love.
You might be asking yourself, "What's the catch?" It might sound too good to be true, but there isn't any catch. Our scratch and dent appliances are sold at deep discounts because a minor cosmetic issue developed somewhere along the line. A few common reasons why appliances are labeled as scratch and dent include:
- The product's external packaging was slightly damaged
- The product has a small scratch that is barely visible
- The product has a slight dent that is hard to see
- The product has a tiny "ding" from being moved around in the warehouse
Unlike some of our competitors, our skilled technicians perform rigorous multi-point examinations on all our appliances. That way, you can rest easy knowing that your out-of-the-box appliance is ready for regular use as soon as it arrives at your home. With a one-year warranty on most scratch and dent items, our customers leave our showroom with a smile on their face knowing their purchase is protected.
And that, in a nutshell, is the Preferred Appliance Sales and Repairs difference: quality appliances, helpful customer service, and real warranties that you can feel good about.
Scratch and Dent Appliances Are They Right for You?
Here's the truth: Nobody wants an old, beat-up appliance with huge dents and scratches. Fortunately, we're not talking about a banged-up dishwasher that barely works. Scratch and dent appliances are just like brand new, except they have a small nick that's barely noticeable. The question is, are you OK with a small dent if it means you could save 25% off your purchase? What about 50% off? If you were to do a Google search on a name-brand appliance and compare its price to the same item in our showroom, you would see just how cost-effective scratch and dent shopping can be.
The majority of our customers are savvy shoppers who don't mind tiny imperfections if it means that they will get a great deal. In many cases, these imperfections are paint-based, which are easily fixed with a little elbow grease. If you're in the market for a fully functional, nearly-new appliance and don't mind a small blemish, buying scratch and dent appliances is a great choice that won't break your bank.

How to Get the Most Out of Your Scratch and Dent Appliances
Appliances can be a big investment, even if you're buying them at significant discounts. Of course, you want to keep your appl ances in good shape, so they continue working properly for years. Once you buy one of our scratch and dent appliances, keep in mind these tips to keep your new merchandise in great working order:
Clean Inside and Out
All appliances need to be cleaned, even washing machines. As an example, cleaning the coils of your new scratch and dent refrigerator will keep it running efficiently.
Only Use Appliances as They Were Intended
If your kids love to play near your appliances, be sure they aren't standing or sitting on them. If you're using a scratch and dent dishwasher or clothes dryer, don't overload them. If your appliance requires specific products, like a high-efficiency laundry detergent, only use the recommended products.
Change filters
You probably know that clothes drying machines have filters that must be changed. However, other appliances like dishwashers and ice makers can also have filters. Read your appliance's manual to see if your product has a filter, and if so, how often it needs to be changed.
Overstock Appliances in Seabrook Island
Much like our scratch and dent merchandise, overstock appliances have become incredibly popular in recent times. While many savvy shoppers already know about the deals associated with overstock items, others hear "overstock appliances" and immediately think something is wrong. Nothing could be further from the truth!
There's a simple explanation for overstock appliances in South Carolina, and it's right in the name. Overstock items are products that manufacturers have made too many of or have a surplus of stock that needs to be sold. This is great news for shoppers who can get new, brand-name appliances at a fraction of their original cost.
There are many reasons why a manufacturer might need to sell their merchandise as overstock:
- A retail store closes its doors, and its appliances and other stock must be liquidated
- A retail store has an item that doesn't sell as well as they had hoped
- The manufacturer or their partners overestimated the amount of stock that they needed
While overstock items are perfectly normal, some customers think they aren't worth purchasing because of a perceived "expiration date." The fact is, overstock and surplus appliances are common in every industry because inventory management isn't an easy job. Sometimes people make errors, but those mistakes can turn into amazing opportunities for high-quality appliances at great prices.
Overstock Appliances Explained
Retailers have to deal with surplus merchandise all the time because older stock must be removed to make room for newer appliances. When a retailer has a surplus of a particular appliance, they will typically reach out to the manufacturer to see if they can return their overstocked appliances. Because these manufacturers charge retailers to restock these surplus items, many retailers choose instead to off-load their stock at a discounted price, and that's where Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair steps in.
The bottom line? Overstock appliances in Seabrook Island are common, brand new, and waiting for you to check out at our showroom. We carry all the major appliance brand names, like Whirlpool, LG, Bosch, Maytag, Kenmore, and even Samsung. Unlike our scratch and dent products, you aren't going to find any minor dings or scratches on our overstock appliances. It sounds too good to be true, but it isn't - when manufacturers make too much, you're in luck.
At Preferred Appliance Sales and Repair, we have a vast selection of overstock appliances for you to choose from, including:
- Microwaves
- Washers
- Dryers
- Refrigerators
- Stoves
- TVs
- Dishwashers
- Much More!

Seabrook Island developing marsh front protection plan to fight erosion

SEABROOK ISLAND, S.C. (WCSC) - Seabrook Island is working with a local coastal consulting firm to develop a plan to monitor, protect and restore its marsh to fight erosion.
The Seabrook Island Environment and Wildlife Committee is in the final stages of reviewing plan drafts that balance property protection and marsh preservation since most of Seabrook Island’s marsh front lies on private property.
“What we’re seeing out in the marshes and in the tidal ditches over the last three years, actually is a lot of erosion that has been my main concern,” Dean Moor, a Seabrook Island Environment and Wildlife Committee member, says.
Nicole Elko, of Elko Coastal Consulting, is developing the marsh front management plan. She says Seabrook does have one water level monitor that reports higher waters and more king tides in recent years.
“The impetus for the plan was some erosion that the community has been experiencing along the marsh front, and the need to just monitor and document what is going on the marsh side. So, in South Carolina, we do a great job of monitoring our beaches. We measure and collect a lot of data. Very little information is collected on the along our marsh front,” Elko says.
Her firm is working with the town to change that. The management plan suggests partnering with Kiawah Conservancy to fully map the ‘critical line’ or official edge of the marsh. Then, the town can collect data like water movement and erosion to implement restoration precisely where it’s needed.
“A state permit is required to do any construction or altering below the critical line and then down in the marsh. So the town has an immediate opportunity to make changes, implement ordinances, construct projects upland of that critical line,” Elko says.
Her management plan suggests some regulatory changes for the town like transitioning the Agricultural Zoning to a more appropriate district along the marsh front to reduce development pressure and protect sensitive ecosystems. It also instructs the town to reduce impermeable surfaces in the community to minimize runoff into the marsh. But the Seabrook marsh front is unique compared to its neighbor islands.
“Most of the Seabrook marsh front is actually privately held, so that presents a new challenge as the town decides how to manage those lands, and a lot of the decisions and land management on Seabrook involves several entities,” Elko says.
One of the major players on the private island is the Seabrook Island Property Owners Association.
“My hope is that once we’ve got the clear Marsh plan, we can get with SIPOA, which is, I guess, the administrative part of the island, and make sure that they’re on the same page, and we adopt both the town and SIPOA adopt the recommendations for how to protect and restore some of the marshes,” Moor says.
Moor says as a property owner, he appreciates that the plan puts town-led efforts into place for private owners to follow so as to protect their property along the marsh front.
Due to the private ownership of much of the marsh front on homeowner property, the plan involves a lot of community engagement, like incentivizing homeowners to meet certain standards. For example, the plan suggests showcasing living shoreline projects on public lands such as oyster bed restoration and marsh front vegetative buffers.
Based on future data and grant application abilities, the plan says to work towards offering mini grants to marsh front property owners to support the installation of green infrastructure and living shorelines.
“We are seeing evidence of additional mud flats, decreased habitat and ecosystem health and also marsh erosion,” Elko says. “And the erosion piece is really because of development right the marsh normally could migrate. The oxbows of the marsh channels can move around, but when there’s private property involved, now that becomes a problem. So in order to address those elements, the plan is devised to do that.”
Elko Coastal Consulting and the Town of Seabrook Island have been collaborating on the marsh management plan for a few months. The Environment and Wildlife Committee is expected to review a final draft of the plan at its next meeting and will pass the plan along to the town council once it approves a draft.
“Part of it is if we do nothing, and we start destroying, or the climate and sea level rise starts destroying property, we’re going to have a little bit of an issue here,” Moor says. “It’s a real joy to sit in areas where we can look out over the marsh at different times during the day, see the marsh, see the watering of the high tide and marsh that sunset, see the marsh turn gold. It’s a real treat.”
