Hello.
In my current apartment, I still have a kitchen unit with a ceramic cooktop, oven, refrigerator, freezer compartment, and recirculation hood.
There are 4 wall cabinets, 1 cabinet with drawers (cutlery drawer/pots/pot compartment), 1 sink cabinet, and 1 miscellaneous cabinet.
The appliances are from Gorenje. Everything works. The condition is good, with minor signs of use but nothing major.
The kitchen unit is 6 years old.
I originally paid 2500€.
What price could I realistically ask for if I sell it now? Since anyone reading this will know I have a kitchen to sell and therefore no longer need it, the price probably won’t be very high. However, I don’t want to give it away either.
Is there a way to determine this? Like an approximate depreciation per year?

I would mainly appeal to convenience. The kitchen is already there and fits well. Bringing your own kitchen is a huge hassle, it probably won’t fit properly anyway, so at least the countertop would need to be replaced, plus space on the moving truck, and so on... it’s just not worth it. Of course, there are exceptions, but if the kitchen isn’t older than 30 years, the chances aren’t bad. When I moved out last time, I managed to turn a "No, we have our own" into a yes. The kitchen was about 6 years old, high-gloss from Nolte. So, a relatively modern design.
You also have to consider that if you’re using a moving company, just transporting the kitchen alone can cost several hundred euros due to labor time and space on the moving truck.

In classifieds, kitchens are sold for more than 300€ (approximately $320). The listings you don’t find on e*** are the ones nobody wants because their price is set too high.
I would also estimate more around 300 to 400 EUR. Higher prices might be achievable with very high-quality brand appliances (Miele, etc.) and branded kitchens, but with a total purchase price of 2500 EUR, that’s probably wishful thinking.
Subtract the initial depreciation that occurs right after installation from the purchase price, plus the cost of assembly itself. That already takes off the first 1000 EUR. Then, assuming a lifespan of 10 years for that purchase price, you subtract another 6 years at about 150 EUR per year, leaving a maximum residual value of 600 EUR. Then there may be further devaluation due to minor flaws—here a scratch, there a stain, or similar.
People buying used furniture usually want it nearly for free. As others have mentioned, the best option might be a new tenant who would get a suitable kitchen and be willing to pay a bit more (no assembly, no moving hassle, etc.). Plus the possibility to resell it later.
I simply repurposed my old kitchen (an inexpensive kitchen from Wellmann with branded appliances from Liebherr and Siemens, about 10 years old) for secondary use in the laundry room and basement. The built-in electric oven including ceramic cooktop is now in the existing old kitchen of the second apartment upstairs. Originally, I even wanted to take it to the new kitchen, but now there is induction.

HilfeHilfe14 Oct 2016 07:47If I were the new tenant, I would negotiate the price down significantly. Just say, "Then remove this part." That way, you’ll have stress and potentially only junk left. Just agree on a fair price. You’re not choosing the new tenants, nor the kitchen either^^
The new tenant is clearly at an advantage here. They can pressure the previous tenant as they wish. However, as the previous tenant, you can also make things difficult for the new tenant. For example, handing over the old apartment at 6 PM on the last day (because you had to work before that). If they haven’t paid double rent (overlapping the old apartment with the new one for about a month or so), they will have a serious problem. Live and let live.
