Integrated fridge & best place to sell it?

MrsEm

We've just moved into our first house - hoorah!

We don't need all of the space in the huge full height integrated fridge so are thinking of removing it, selling it & getting an integrated 50/50 fridge-freezer instead to go into the same unit.

My questions are -
How hard is it to remove an integrated appliance from the cupboard?

Where is the best place to sell a fridge - for the most return (am hoping sale of top-brand fridge will cover most of the cost of buying mid-brand replacement fridge-freezer)?

Thanks for advice

Good luck , but I don't reckon you will be able to juggle those figures.
For a start a buyer would need to move ... huge full height integrated
Second hand kitchen goods don't hold their value well.

Oh dear, but thanks - will try.

And any tips for removing it? Is it really simple to un-integrate?

Without knowing model or seeing some photos , cant say.

But the good thing , they are not that heavy .
Also won't ??? be more than 2 metres high?? back of a large estate ?


To sum up ....... resign yourself to taking to the dump / free cycle
Pray you sell it for a few quid .. local paper
Or Live with it , til it packs up
Sorry cant be more positive

Bought a chest freezer off ebay, £35. People wont pay top money for a fridge or freezer as there is no way
to tell how long its going to last. It may not like being moved and never work again.

Buyers have to factor in the cost of buying another one. Also moving it could be an issue for some, The one
i bought had several people checking the height & would it fit into an estate car.

Top brands are usually built in the same factory and on the same line as cheaper brands, Just down to the badge they
stick on at the end of the line.

Removal is easy, Couple of securing brackets at most. Or it may pull forward and have a chain behind it.

last one i did, was so simple to remove. about 6 or 8 screws around the front edges.
then just slid it out and disconnected the electrics.

changing the unit door over, took more time.

eBay or gumtree
