Perhaps you are in possession of a stairlift that you no longer need. Many owners who want to get rid of their used stairlifts often turn to the manufacturers for buy-backs. Sadly, many manufacturers do not take back products that they have already sold.
Before you proceed to find out how best to remove used stairlifts, it is best that you realise that second-hand stairlifts have very little resale value. This is primarily because stairlifts and especially curved stairlifts are often offered as bespoke services to fit the unique needs of a particular home. Consequently, the chances of you finding a new home for the apparatus are very low.
Before you lose heart, there is a silver lining to this cloud.
Although the potential of your stairlift finding a new place is limited, it isn’t a completely lost cause. What’s more, if you play your cards right, you may even end up making some money along the way.
Let us discuss some of the ways you can get rid of your stairlift in a smart way.
Part exchange
If you are looking to replace the old stairlift with a new one, there’s good news for you. You can get in touch with the original manufacturer and ask them to sell you a new one and deduct a part of the cost in exchange for the old one. If you decide to go through with this, ensure that the reduction in the price is factored into the final cost and communicated to you in writing before the final sale.
Selling the stairlift
There are 2 ways to sell a stairlift. In many parts of the UK such as Eastbourne, the original manufacturers will help you to sell the second-hand item for a service fee. They will create an advertisement for you and even help you to determine the sale price.
The other option is to sell it yourself at an online marketplace. Dismantling a stairlift is not an easy task so make sure that your advertisement makes it clear that it is the buyer’s responsibility.
