First, I'm NOT looking to sell it here. I've never tried to sell anything this large before and figured someone here may have and would have a suggestion.

Wife and I bought a Z-Line Range back in February and liked it. We did run into a few problems right off the bat though. Back left burner stopped igniting and the oven temp was difficult to regulate. I contacted Z-Line and they were looking for a repair guy in my area and even sent out whatever parts they thought would be needed to fix the issues, but were never able to find anyone locally. Eventually I told them just to replace the unit and they did and sent a new one and it's great. I was going to send back the first one but they didn't want it back, so I've got a basically brand new range with a couple of minor issues sitting in my garage. I don't know how to work on it, but I'm assuming someone handier than I am could take it and the parts I still have unopened in the box they sent me and fix it right up.

Anyone here have any experience selling something like this locally? Hell, I still have it sitting on a pallet. If so, what's the best way to get word out? Thanks.

FB Marketplace would be one way.

Try FB marketplace or someone who repairs appliances and sells them used. They will pay cash fpr them but less than an individual will pay.

Yeah, this was the first idea since my wife does sell things on there. Wasn't sure if there was anything more specific for appliances, but then I've never looked into the FB Market thing.

Originally I was just gonna scavenge parts off of it for the one I'm keeping and toss it, but that seems idiotic given it's basically brand new and is mostly fine. Still kind of stunned they didn't want it bac but maybe the sunk cost of the replacement, all the shipping costs, plus the money they gave me to install the second unit made it not worth it for them.

It's not worth it for them. They toss stuff like that all the time.
