    Begs the question - why? - but it's your business.

    You could try talking to the fitter who will fit your new kitchen. They may be interested in buying it for a future installation. Why not keep the appliances and fit them into your new kitchen, or are they not compatible for some reason?

    Fashions change and the appliances were in when I purchased the new house.


    I want my own products now

    Ebay, taking lovely photos of the kitchen as it is now.

    If it's a designer kitchen then there's also The Used Kitchen Company who seem to act as a reselling agent. Google them.

    Oh dear. That's got me looking at kitchens again now. I love that website.

    You might find one to buy too!

  • Ebay works - I bought my kitchen from a private seller there. It was a current range so I was able to get some extra units to make it work in my space.

    Expect to sell at a massive discount to the new price, I paid £1500 for pristine units and appliances that cost £11,000 new.

  • eBay works very well. We sold our old and tired kitchen no problem. To be honest I just wanted someone to take away what I considered to be scrap so I listed it for a penny. As it turned out I got £100 for it so I was very happy in the end. I'm sure you'd have no problems selling a nicer kitchen.

    Same here we bought a used one from ebay for £900 for one of our rental houses, the lady paid £10,000 for it just a few years ago

    its quite shocking to see the amount of money people waste on things that only provide one function, but i think the kitchen companies have done a great job in convincing people that they need to spend a ridiculous amount of cash just to store pots and pans,

    "after all the kitchen is the heart of the house"

    this is why people dont get out of the rat race
    People are caught up in an egotistic artificial rat race to display a false image to society. We want the biggest house, fanciest car, and we don't mind paying the sky high mortgage to put up that show. We sacrifice our biggest assets our health and time, We feel happy when we see people look up to us and see how successful we are”

    But to do it that way you do have to be very patient. It took me six months of checking at least twice a week to find something that I liked and was suitable and fortunately it was only 50 miles away. Then I had to go and collect it, two journeys in a transit sized van, and let me tell you that a 7 foot high over housing in 18mm board plus oak fronts is not light for one person to move when unloading ;)

    I agree one has to be very patient but it pays off in the end, most of us spend more time at work than we do at home with our loved ones so we can earn money but when it comes to making our money go far we can be very silly and get ripped off

    When buying our latest bungalow,we had to buy all the furniture and fittings basically to get a family member to move out.Easiest option. We stripped the place and put all the items,complete kitchen,white goods/suite/carpets/curtains/crockery/wardrobes etc.etc. in the drive with a large'Free,take away' sign. Luckily it was sunny weather,a big drive-in area and on a busy road. It all went within a day. Saved us numerous trips to our Council Tip with all the hassle that involves and hopefully did a few families a favour.
