What would you expect to be asked to pay for second hand kitchen appliances?

If they were in a house that you were buying. Not built-in.

Hotpoint silver fridge-freezer - about 4yrs old (some broken shelves and drawers)
Black electric cooker with brass fittings. Similar age to ff.
Hotpoint washing machine - in good condition but may need new bearings soon

FTB so might want them maybe.

£200 for the lot? Reasonable?

200 sounds reasonable to me, as it would cost a lot more to buy new, and you could opt to take them with you instead, and finding/buying them 2nd hand and getting them delivered, with the faff, would make £200 a decent price.

Or ask for £250 and let them negotiate yo down to £200? Am assuming these are in the house you're leaving soon?

We paid £200 for a cream leather corner sofa and matching footstool, with one small tear, a white fridge freezer in perfect working order, a double bed (wooden frame) and a white electric cooker, in full working order. But that was from a friend.

OK thanks.
Yes in the house we're leaving.
We are also leaving behind a lot of solid timber beds, shelves and cupboards that DH built but they are built in so not an issue.

what if they say they don't want them?
presumably they could have their own kitchen appliances?

CMOTdibbler · 29/06/2010 16:35

That sounds very reasonable - we paid about the same for a tumble dryer that was 10 years old, a chest freezer of a similar vintage, the garden furniture and a bed in our last move. None of it was great, but it was things we wanted for the house and a lot cheaper than buying new all in one go

We got the fridge, freezer and oven for free in the place we moved to all between 5-10 years old although all in immaculate condition, however we paid £50 for the washing machine as it was only 3 years old and still in good condition.

We paid £20 for the fridge in our place.

OrmRenewed · 29/06/2010 17:12

If they don't want them we'll take them and store them in the garage at our new place. They are FTB so may have nothing yet.

We were just FTB but moving from rented so we had all our own stuff anyway but if not I'd have jumped at the chance to move in and be set up without having to buy all from new! £200 seems fine but I'd try to negotiate just because I always do and aim for £50 per appliance.
