Not exactly a double-glazing salesman

I have just removed a double glazed window that is in excellent condition and had a good home for it to go to - but the intended recipients have decided to move instead of completing their house upgrade. That means that I have the white frames and double glazed glass units hanging around. The large glass unit is 1.61m x 1.23m and the two small units 1.135m x



0.385m (from opening frames). All have a 20mm gap.

With the bulk and weight of the items I presume that it's only likely to be of interest to someone local to south Manchester but how/where would anyone advertise their availability? I don't want to give the items away considering their obvious value but for the same reason (+ matter of principle) I certainly don't want to dump them. Is there a trade in such things? Where?

Wouldn't it be betterto give it away than to dump it?

You'll have a job giving them away - try a gardener - who might want them for cold frames

If you don't mind giving them away but want to ensure they go to a good home then try freecycle

I recently managed to rehome some excess counter top through them.

Probably. But I've given stuff away in the past and in general such gifts are not appreciated except by friends/family. Eg I've given computers to schools after checking them over and sorting out the software only to find them dumped in favour of inferior products - because the ones I provided were of no value (ie free). The price I'd charge would still make them a bargain; I've since had another look at them and founfd the date they were ordered - 26th Feb

It was to avoid such comment that I included the size of the glass units! ;-(

They are worthless to anybody who does not have need for windows of this size, which is likley to be a very small number of people. Cone to that, they are not very expensive new, if you shop in the right places.
