Hello.

I still have a kitchen unit in my current apartment with a ceramic hob, oven, refrigerator, freezer compartment, and recirculation hood.
4 wall cabinets. 1 drawer cabinet (cutlery drawer/pots/pots compartment), 1 sink cabinet, and 1 "miscellaneous" cabinet.

The appliances are from Gorenje. Everything works. Condition is good, small signs of use but nothing major.
The kitchen unit is 6 years old.

I paid €2500 back then.

What can I ask for now when selling or what should I roughly ask for?
Since everyone who reads this knows that I have a kitchen to sell and therefore no longer need it, the price probably won’t be particularly high. However, I also don’t want to give it away.

Can this somehow be determined? Like approximate depreciation per year?

Usage period 10 to 15 years, calculate proportionally down accordingly

Used furniture does not fill the household budget. This also applies to kitchens. Usually, you can already consider yourself lucky if someone dismantles and picks them up - for free. Since you are building, I would reuse the cabinets in the utility room and sell the electrical items on [eBay Kleinanzeigen]. Otherwise, the tip: in the advanced search on [eBay] in your area, look for kitchen furniture sold recently to see what they brought in. I will sell my furniture well on [FB] in the regional groups.
Best regards

Hello.

I don't think you can sell the kitchen for a low four-figure amount. More like around €500-700.

If it cost 2500 euros new 6 years ago, it is already worth about 30% less immediately after installation. Then calculate about 10% less per year. If I have calculated correctly in my head, that would be a residual value of 700 euros.

However, the kitchen must be in very well-maintained condition, and the appliances must function perfectly.

So if necessary, clean everything carefully and present it nicely, possibly decorate with small accessories. Often interested parties pay because it looks nice and appeals to them. You should give the interested party the opportunity to inspect the kitchen and examine the appliances.

If everything is really tiptop and you notice serious interest, I would set about 1200 euros as a basis for negotiation.

You are, of course, hoping for the next tenant. But the landlord couldn't care less about that aspect; he is not allowed to make the rental dependent on buying your kitchen. So, if it's gone, it's gone. I wouldn't accept very cheeky offers either, at least the electrical appliances can always be sold for a hundred if they’re not junk. But it does mean work for you.
If the next tenant offers 500, you can negotiate a bit, but in the end, you should accept it. The effort isn't worth it for 100€ more.
Let him make an offer, if possible.
