Selling my rockery

When I bought my house, the front garden came with a fairly large rockery which my sister persuaded me to keep rather than asking the previous owner to take away, as she might have wanted it or because its worth a lot of money.

I now want to get rid of it because I need to do work to the house. Any ideas how much something like this will sell for, they are very heavy to lift as well.

    What exactly are you selling ? sandstone rocks ?
    I've seen people giving them away on Freecycle, i imagine someone may buy them 'cos they buy them from garden centres.
    I think you should go to the likes of B&Q and see what it would cost new, then price yours from that.

    I can't see anything!

    But if its just effectively a pile of rocks it will be worth a big fat zero!

    Why would someone selling their house be expected to take the rockery with them. If this was given a minimal amount of attention, cleaned out and planted properly it would look very nice.
