I have just bought a new house. As my mother was helping me with some of the (numerous) DIY jobs, I mentioned that if I had unlimited money available I would replace my perfectly serviceable fridge/freezer with a bigger American-style one. My mother replies with the observation that my aunt, who recently had her kitchen re-done, was planning on selling her old fridge/freezer - perhaps I should ask to buy it from her.
So I ask, and am told I can have it for free if I can arrange transport. Transport should be easy; my dad's going up to sort her garden out and will see if he can fit it in/on his car. If not then I'll rent a van and collect it - she lives about an hour away, so it's not likely to break the bank if I do need to go the van route.
I should totally pay for this fridge, right? She was going to sell it, and so it would be all kinds of cheeky if I just took it without some sort of payment.
So the question is this; what is the going price for a used fridge? It's 4 years old, cost £600 new, and as far as I am aware it's in good condition. I have no idea what to give her, money wise. I don't know the exact make or model, so can't work it out on that front. Any ideas?
