Where to buy a cheap chest freezer?

Any pointers on where I can buy a chest freezer at a budget price? It is to go in an outbuilding so does not have to look pleasing. Been meaning to get one for ages but with all the extra shopping for Christmas it is now urgent.

Thanks
Duhelu

    why not try https://www.freecycle.org

    they are a site for people both giving things away and people seeking things.

    Work out how much it might cost to run, compared with an A-rated new one, and you might not be saving so much after all.

    i bought my second hand for £20. it is fantastic. try looking in your local paper.i don't know what rating mine is , but i haven't noticed any difference in our elec bill. but i got told if it is nearly empty then it will use more elec. so at times when it not got much in it. stick a cardboard box filled with scrunched up newspaper in it. this will help the freezer to run well when it low on food
