Selling Reclining Chair - Best Option?

Twisted_Cherry

I am NOT advertising here, but we need to offload an electric reclining chair that is less than two years old. It was specially made for the right size / measurements, but the owner has decided it's not suitable - mainly he can't move the thing to clean under it, as it weighs a ton!

Where is the best place to sell such an item? I love eBay, but the fees on it might be too high, the original retail value for £1700!

I will have a look at that! We don't expect anything like we paid, to be honest he just would like enough in order to buy a new high back chair!

My gran has one of these, if he likes the chair we got lockable wheels added (her cleaner couldn't move) for £32 last year, so it wheels for cleaning.

Now that is a good idea! Can I ask where did you buy them from?

Our local paper is a little crap to be honest! But the supermarket sounds like a plan, I didn't think of that one!

I didn't buy them per se. I rang a local upholstering company and they fitted them, they also left a chair whilst doing the work. I think they are around £10 to buy if you can fit them yourself, I preferred them to do this.

Thank you, I do know of a place that makes chairs we have used in the past and it is local, so will pop in and see what they can do, would be much better in the long run to have some wheels fitted on it!
