I'm going to look into the screws on ebay. I never would've thought of that angle. As far as the door do you just mean the glass piece inside? I thought that might have some resale value. It's relaxing to take it apart, so I'm going to take apart a little here and there. When it get it better broken down I may zap pictures of other parts for suggestions. Thanks for your advice!

And taught belts should be carefully removed and recorded. You can ebay them for $5-$10 or more on the low end. And as I said matched screw sets will get you a few dollars. (Eg 4 screws from (brand) washer door/base/feet/motor) etc.
I was shocked to find $10-20 sets of screws WITH BIDS when we went looking for parts for ours!
Then again mr repair man on ebay is going to resell them to the service customer for $50 so you see how it makes sense.
That glass door is worth a fair bit too! Just make sure you take it loose to a ups store of Fedex office and pay the fee to let them pack it. Which puts them on the hook for damages not you.
Not sure selling the drum itself is worth it because getting it from a to b in one piece without dents and damage may be difficult.
Also if the coupling for the wires is still there.... it's a gang of short wires strapped together each with connectors on both ends. A full coupling harness can get $50+ or a dollar as scrap harness.
I can't tell for sure but given the light reflection I'm guessing the drum is an L or LR type stainless, which adds a lot of nickel and chrome in the alloy for rust resistance. Looks bluish under incandescent light.
Do not let them tell you it's scrap shred or lt iron. Just because it sticks
L and LR steels are worth triple the base alloy rate.
I.e. 316LR is $1.60 per lb not 60 cents. 304LR should fetch over $2 per lb
