Selling Kitchen Knives

I got given some still-packaged kitchen knives over the weekend, reasonably expensive ones that we can't use (they weren't a birthday present or anything!). But given that they can't be sold on eBay, I'm not really sure what I can do with them. Are there shops that will buy them?

    Sell on a local Facebook group?
  • You can sell knives on Amazon if you are authorised and use a signature on delivery service for delivery.

    Ebay is a no,no, except for cutlery/steak knives.

    Freeads or local supermarket noticeboard?

    I had a warning a few years back for selling vintage fruit knives (the short ones used on a posh dining table to cut peaches etc)..... eBay hate me.

    ebay hates everyone, they are the grumpy schoolteacher that hates their life and hates their job and most of all hates children.

    The buyer is wrong the seller is wrong, just pay your fees and go away and leave us alone.

    Well thats my view of them :)

    I fear you are probably right.
