I have 7 dimplex storage radiators and they need to go, BUT I'm not having much luck.
I have them on ebay for 99p and also in my local freecycle.

I don't want to spend too much to get rid of them, I've tried local free ads.

Anyone know of any other ideas??

thanks

    You would probably get more for them as scrap, so wouldn't bother with Ebay etc if you want to make a few quid.

    Otherwise yes local free ads and hope someone locally will take them off you.

    I'm not really selling them on ebay, just want to list - as free delivery could go for 99p.

    I've enquired about scrap and they aren't interested, but may be the way to go if not taken soon as they are in the way of building work. It would be a shame as they work fine and it's such a waste. Night heating is cheaper too.

    sorry haven't updated for a while.
    I used freecycle and all went locally, in fact within 2 miles from work :)

    sorry topicalcat too far and just gone :(

    We replaced a large ancient broken one in the kitchen. We did unfortunately have to skip the casing, but we saved the 16 slabs inside & used them last year around the edge of our new wildlife pond, instead of having to buy new ones. Because we'd stored them outside, they'd already got moss & algae on them so looked very natural around the pond.

    2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
    Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!
