Two practical things shape a UK sale. Bank holidays and the run-up to Christmas slow collections right down, so build a few extra days in.

What washing machines are worth
What lifts the price
- Higher spin speeds and larger drum capacities
- Original hoses and any remaining warranty
What pulls it down
- Error codes on any cycle
- Ground-floor-only access, which limits who can collect
Working out what yours is worth
- Run a full spin cycle and listen for rumbling or grinding
- Check the door seal and drum for mould and limescale
Getting it ready
- Clean the detergent drawer, door seal and filter. A mouldy seal is the single thing that makes a buyer walk away.
- Find the model number on the door frame or rear, and locate the transit bolts if you still have them.

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.
