Buying a kitchen on ebay!

RX-78

I assume you'll have to dismantle and arrnage transport? Our friend came to take the kitchen out we gave away - he had to hire a van, came with 2 others and took them good part of the day to get it out! It was the previous owner's kitchen (about 15 years old I think) so I dont know what the make was but still seemed in good condition when it came out!

yeah some sellers say already dismantled which is good in 1 way - BUT means you cant really see it and image it for your kitchen

others say dismantling on xx/xx when my new kitchen arrvies

i have a mpv, so if close will avoid cost of van and make a few trips

today I have measured up, been to B+Q for ideas and to steal tips, and phoned 2 kitchen installers 1 of whom will come out next week

If the one 10 miles away is of interest why not ask if you can go and view it. And at that point you could discuss with them about removing it? Perhaps they would let you do it yourself if you are worried about damage to the units?

I have just had a new kitchen fitted. My old kitchen was in great condition to look at and having seen secondhand ones for sale on ebay, had thought Id sell mine. As I was unsure of how well it would come out and upon closer inspection realised shelves had bowed with the weight of crockery etc I decided to give it away on freecycle instead. So unless it is an unused ex display I would be very wary.

Splaskback- got one for 99p on ebay, stainless steel.

Labour- not a problem, we're doing it ourselves.

Not a major refit- moving bits around, keeping the units but buying new doors and worktops. Should be no more than £350 tops.

Most coming from Ebay, cheap but nice kitchens are fairly do-able.

it solde for £410 including over, fridge, sink, units and hobs

its more than I wanted to pay, especially as still not 100% sure re dimensions and moving things etc,

decided best not to rush in, there are lots on there, and I dont see it being installed until post xmas anyway so hey ho!, I will updatye in due course

i was in b&q a couple of days ago browsing the kitchens and some of them had stickers on to be sold,
"ex display" with a cheap price, one was priced at £180,

it might be worth asking at your local b&q if they have any ex display for sale, im not sure but might be better than ebay and you can see before you buy,

Our B&Q had an ex display kitchen too, but no appliances. I think they just reuse them in the next lot of show kitchens.

hi,

i dont think it included anything like the ovens, i think they call it "a typical 8 unit kitchen" or something along those lines,

they were all very nice, 1 door had a scratch thats it really,
