Posted By Dyfed Rowlands Can anybody help? A high school kitchen is due to be refurbished with new equipment. However, the headteacher of the school intends on selling the existing equipment e.g. cookers. What information, if any, do they need to provide to future buyers? Dyfed

Posted By Bill Elliott 2nd Catering equipment is a very specialist market full of people willing to rip you off. You may be better persuading your headteacher to place the equipment through a specialist auction house to get a reasonable return. Have details of a couple - e mail me if you would like details.

Posted By Dyfed Rowlands Thanks for your comments Bill, unfortunately it was not the answer I was looking for although I will e-mail you with regard to details of the auction houses. The question I'm asking is: What specific information (if any) should the headteacher pass onto potential buyers before selling them the items of equipment? Again, thanks for your comments Dyfed

Posted By Ron Hunter I suggest that you or the Head Teacher contact your local Trading Standards Service, who will be able to advise you of the many potential pitfalls in selling second hand goods, particulary with regard to the application of essential safety requirements when placing second hand goods on the market! The usual "out" on this one, I believe, is to make it clear on any adverts or bill of sale that the goods are supplied for spares or repair.
