Energy employment moves households in and out in waves rather than steadily, and a downturn puts a great deal of good equipment onto the market at once. Outdoor gear follows a sharp seasonal cycle on top of that.

What dishwashers are worth
What lifts the price
- All racks, cutlery baskets and clips present
- Working salt and rinse aid dispensers
What pulls it down
- Blocked spray arms leaving dishes dirty
- Leaks from the door seal or base
Working out what yours is worth
- Run a full cycle with a load and check the results honestly
- Look under the machine for any sign of past leaks

Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
