So my field shelter my father in law and husband built for me last autumn is surplus to requirements, so I need to sell it. Where is the best place to advertise it?

I was thinking ebay for a wider audience, and a lot of the adverts say "buyer to dismantle and collect"

Has anyone ever done this and did the sellers help you dismantle it or would you prefer to be left to your own devises?

Would it be more appealing if the shelter was already dismantled?
 
I bought one last month. We dismantled ourselves, only took a couple of hours. Once the roof came off, the sides came down in complete bits.

Seller lent me a ladder but didn't require anymore help.

If you do dismantle, make sure you take lots of pictures beforehand. I wouldn't bother though.

I found mine in a local gum tree advert.

Thanks, that's really helpful! I didn't think about GumTree. Mine would come down very easily as it was built in sections. So it seems to be the done thing for the buyers to see it, buy it, dismantle it and take it away - all with little effort from myself! Excellent!
 
I'm looking for a small stable block which nobody wants, that I could buy and dismantle myself. Ive searched Gumtree but nothing... not sure where else to look TBH. I may have been interested in your field shelter too if I were closer!
 
Ebay or local paper. I have brought from both.

I don't dismantle though as most are below 10 ft wide and can be moved in their entirity as have always brought saltire ones.
 
Think mine would need to be dismantled - its huge! Think its either 14 x 16 or 16x18, need to get up there with my tape measure!

So is it ok to put it on GumTree at the same time as ebay? How does that work? I guess you can but need to state that it is being advertised elsewhere with regards to ebay? I'm not very good with this sort of thing!
