    I flogged a conservatory on ebay 5 years ago. Got £750 for it. Probably cost £15k but was a monstrosity.

    Remember to state very clearly, buyer to dismantle and remove. The bloke who bought mine turned up with 5 guys who took it down in 2 hours just leaving a foot high base wall that took me an hour to knock over.

      yeah they are a monstrosity, existing one is wood effect PVC

      good point about buyer to disassemble & remove, as soon as i touch a screw driver items become devalued

        You might be able to sell the Aga to a scrap metal merchant. We looked at replacing our Rayburn a few years ago and they offered to buy it off us, melt it down and use it to build a new one.
        ...but once you get used to having one on winter, you'll not want to be without it (apart from the running costs, etc)

            Find a local Facebook selling group. Some are called Facebay but not all. No fees is one bonus.

              That's my point.

              Everyone I know who has inherited one when they moved initially hated it then got use to it.

                I've had one for 10 years or so. Must have cost me a fortune in oil over the years!

                Does everything - cooking, heating, hot water.

                When oil was at its peak I was paying £345 for 500L.

                And that lasts 2 months in winter time.

                Try some of the many outfits that refurbish Rayburns & Agas.

                Phil Green in Hereford was the one I used - may be worth an enquiry.

                  Gas seems absurdly cheap though. Just bought two 47 Kg Propane cylinders for my kitchen cooker (I'm not on the gas mains), and they were only £65 each

                    Ouch!

                    The one attached to the house was old pvc and needed refixing. I would have been happy for someone to dismantle and remove for nothing.
