Why is there no marketplace for swaps and secondhand goods on this site? Or is there something similar elsewhere?
For instance, I am soon to liberate a Boulter balanced flue that would give many more years of active service. New, they cost around £150. What a dreadful waste if it ends up in the council skip.
Last year I scrapped a pair of massive 6ins flue pipes and elbows. They're now in a landfill site, but I bet someone somewhere would be glad of them.
On Ebay there's a brand new Danfoss 2-port valve going "surplus to requirements", latest bid £6.99. I just paid over £50 for one and would have been delighted to treble that bid. The vendor, advertising it on a plumber's site, could have got much more for it if the ad was allowed to stay longer than Ebay's, giving time for buyer to match seller as needs arise.
While we're at it, 1,200 litre oil tank, mint green, art deco features, only a few holes...
