Selling my current kitchen

[richatnort]

So i've moved into a house with a small kitchen set. We're just about to get a builder in to knock through and make it nice and open plan but I was wondering other than eBay & Gumtree are there any specific sites out there for this kind of thing otherwise it'll just go in the skip.

To be honest, once you've taken it apart, will it be good enough to be re-used? Also I've always had kitchens "made to measure" i.e. You have an outline of the kitchen and where all the appliances are going in, where the extractor is going in, where the windows are, and then design your kitchen to fit the plan. I'm not sure how easily you could take a second hand kitchen and fit it into another house (unless the size/layout were EXACTLY the same.

I removed mine and put it on Ebay

Wasn't my cup of tea and looked tired TBH, but someone came from 40 miles away and paid me £200 to take it away.

And to think, my original plan was to pay for a skip to put it in.....

That's promising. As you can see it's not much so i've put it on for £85 on an auction so see what happens!

Actually that looks quite nice

Good luck!

I usually stick mine on Gumtree for very little money, but it saves me the time to remove it and space in a skip. They always get snapped up in a day or two.

That's promising then! Did yours include the appliances to. If by the end of the advert it doesn't sell i'll stick it on eBay too.

Already got 4 people watching it too which is good.

Bit off topic but long story short i'm getting a brand new Valliant ecoTEC exclusive with Green iQ for £500 which was hard to say no to.

I've got a got Viessmann 100 at the minute that only maybe 10 years old. Anyone think it'll be worth much if i were to put it on eBay.

A quick search shows not many boilers on eBay for sale 2nd hand so not sure.

Exactly this for me as well. £200 for an 8 year old budget "new build" kitchen, she was over the moon with it and took everything. I just was just relieved as it saved me a second skip!

Builder didn't bat an eye line over removing and not smashing it up, think he even suggested selling it.

[Sheepshanks]

When ours was changed everything just went in a skip, it never crossed my mind to sell, but my son-in-law bought a kitchen and bathroom off eBay for a house he was refurbing - owner was changing them both as they were 2yrs old so "needed replacing"! He removed them too.

This was down South though - maybe that's the norm there?

Those two kitchens looks like they have plenty of life left in them.

Imagine the £200 purchase was maybe someone had gutted the house and needed a temporary kitchen for months or however long until funds allow or they decide on final spec.

Don't take the carcass apart - if buyer wants to then let them as that's when you might have breakage issues.

Ha, when did you sell that? I bought a second hand one just like it in 2005 from Birmingham area.

Paid £400 if I remember, oven is still going strong. Saved a couple of grand easily on new, and that style fitted the property well.

[Oakey]

To be fair OP's kitchen looks like a Howdens special so probably cost about £80 new all in

3 years ago, sold it with all the appliances which helped the price, as although old were like new

I literally have no idea how they lived like it tbh. There's only two of us but what you can't see is the other side of that wall is a cheap garden table with stuff we use most the time and two boxes below the table with tupper wear and pots in. We moved into the house and June and first thing we did was get a builders quote to knock through.

As for the washing machine...... Don't even get my started its a joke. The worse thing the stop tap is behind it and it's so tight when the spinner goes on its shakes the cupboard next to it and makes a right racked.

This lot?

does tend to be fairly high end. I enquired after a couple when we were looking but didn't find them very helpful but I forget why exactly as its been a while.
