Rayburn Cooker - What to do with it?

Hi everyone (again),
Afraid it's another post - may be a few in the coming months!
I have searched the forums and cannot find an answer to this, and I am sorry if I have put this in the wrong place (please move if I have).
Our house has a Rayburn stove in it, cooking only (like an AGA), and while I love it I do want to go back to a more conventional cooker now the novelty has worn off. However, I cannot find out what you do with one when you want rid?! I know most people would want to keep it, and certainly I've considered just getting a second hob top and single oven to accompany it, but with the floor needing to come up for kitchen renovations to take place, now is the time to get rid of it.
What do you do with them?! It is only 10 years old, in perfect working order (hardly used by previous house owner who installed it) and so I am reluctant to just chuck it in a skip. Ideally, i would like to sell it to someone who can continue to get the benefit from it. We live in Scotland and cannot find any restorers up here that we could approach, and a certain auction site doesn't seem to get much for them. Based on the websites from down south, it is worth around £1800 having had parts recently replaced so in perfect working order.
Help! What do I do with this beast?!
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, but as I said, they achieve terrible prices on such sites - possibly because they are collection only?
Any other suggestions most welcome
