Tiles: How/where to sell them?

[Nolar Dog]

I recently purchased a huge job lot of tiles to go into some of our house renovations.

I have used all the ones that I am likely to need/want and now I'm stuck with a garagre full of "surplus stcok".

They are Porcelanosa L'antic Colonial range, which for those not in the know are the Porcelanosa groups' handmade "more exclusive" items.

They are cream in colour, 100x100mm tiles in boxes of 100 which covers 1sqm. I have 50 boxes left!

Other than eBay does anyone have any idea how/where to advertise them or better still any tilers, builders, property developers or landlords on here who want some (very) cheap tiles in bulk?

They are these tiles but in cream not brown and I'm not after anything like that money for them

Any ideas welcome

Make sure you keep plenty of spares for breakages etc. Aren't there any websites for people doing self-builds or DIY house renovation? They're always on the look out for a bargain!

I've kept plenty for us. I have 1000 spare at one side for my stuff then these 5000 that I need to get rid of.

I'll search for "self build" or DIY sites when I can get my laptop to work for long enough...

Thanks

I know people say 'keep some spares' but who ever breaks tiles ?! Its hard enough to break them them when you're trying to trim them to fit !! I've never broken any tiles in 20 years no matter what I've dropped/hit them with !!

Just wondered..........

Much as I hate to use eBay, it is a last resort - maybe a 'Buy It Now' per box and 'buyer collects'

We sold some spare tiles on ebay. Cash on collection (although Ebay made us select Paypal)

You don't have a shop as I'm not lending you the money

Make sure you meet in a public place and have some nice condiments to hand so you two can enjoy some west country snacks together.....

I don't do "condiments" but there might be a pleasant surprise when "Sarah" opens the garage door.
