What to do with items no wanted

lookstraightahead

I've got the following items that I don't want taking to our new house:

Electric piano - two keys not working

Washing machine and dishwasher - both only two years old and in working order

old Leaf dining table with stains (not ready serviceable)

very very heavy wardrobe.

With the electrical stuff I don't want to be responsible if anything goes wrong with the electrics.

any ideas?

Facebook market place

Mark as collection only

Depending of you want money or not, Freecycle, nextdoor, Facebook, dismantle wardrobe and advertise for collection. I got rid of a very nice large wardrobe that way. 
also try british heart foundation if you are happy to donate. 
have you got a garage you can store them in?

Ask buyers if they want any of your stuff.

If they don't, chuck it on gumtree in the freebies section and you'll get rid of them easy.

List for free (or very cheap) on gumtree, FB marketplace, olio etc

Or could contact local furniture charity shop who may be able to come and collect.

Piano - tip.
Washy and dishy - Sell via FB marketplace or local group.
Table - Upcyclable? Is there a local things-for-free FB group? If no interest, tip.
Wardrobe - How old? Again, sell/give/tip. Break it up if needed.

Fleabay 99p buy it now .  Next door .. free collection only 

purplebutterfly

local Buy Nothing Project group - often on FB - and give stuff away for collection only.

With the old leaf table it won't matter about stains etc as people are upcycling everything.  Honestly, there's nothing people won't take on FB if you give it away.

Wouldn’t agree with tip for the piano - at least, not until you’ve tried free on Facebook/gumtree etc. You might find someone incredibly grateful for a free electric piano, even with two broken keys!

... or somebody who's up for seeing if they can fix it themselves. 

Google shows up lots of sites and vids about repairing electric pianos - including vids specifically about fixing dead keys on digital pianos, electronic keyboards, etc.

Facebook Marketplace is great for selling unwanted items, but you'll have more success if you find and join local selling groups and list the item in those at the same time - you can tick the boxes when you list the item. We've sold a few things this week that way ready for moving tomorrow, with mostly success - you always get the odd timewaster, or person wanting you to deliver a £5 item 200 miles away lol.
