I have a Minivator 907 stairlift with a 4.3m straight track that I can't give away, so I wondered if anyone here wanted it. Charities won't touch it, because of public liability concerns, and I need it out of a house I am in the process of selling. It has been carefully dismantlled and is free to collect in West Sussex. However, for safety, it needs to be professionally installed. I would not recommend a DIY installation, unless you are hoping to inherit soon from the user.

eBay?

...or unless you want to inherit sooner rather than later perhaps?
Colin, have you tried going back to the manufacturer, to see if they'd take it back off you? I can't say I've heard of Minivator but AFAIK it's possible to buy reconned stairlifts from the major players, which presumably they must have acquired from users?

I know someone who could make very good use of it... the local authority just told her, you need a stair lift, a wet room and a few other things. Only we can't pay for it, so we suggest you get a loan for 43K, oh and you can only use our approved contractors! Needless to say, "supprised" is not the word that adequatly covered her response to this. And the loan they suggest would leave the household budget at -200 per month.
What sort figure were you thinking of asking for it Colin?
That is the next option.

They acquire them by charging to remove them when they are no longer required. It would be a lot cheaper to throw it on the scrap heap, but I would prefer it went to someone who needs it.

This one I've replied to be e-mail.

Perhaps an advert in the local paper ?
"free to collect" seems to suggest he doesn't want very much at all :-)
Seemed only polite to ask ;-)
I really need to get rid of it as quickly as possible. I have a buyer for the house and she is anxious to move in, particularly as she has already sold her previous house and is living in a friend's flat. Fortunately, it looks as though John Rumm may have a use for it.

I'm not sure how recovered my father is ATM or how long until he get's worse. How transportable is it - would it fit into an escort van ?
Sorry, John Rumm got in first and he is taking it away shortly.

I've got a pair of stairlifts to get rid of up in Yorkshire. (Two flights with half landing but I'd say the tracks would easily join into one) Anyone interested can email me direct by removing the AS spamblocker
