Buying and selling of used stairlifts on eBay

Stair lifts can mean a considerable financial investment, because the acquisition costs usually start at around 4,000 € and can easily go into the five-digit range. You can save a lot if you decide to buy a used seat lift. As a rule, you can save up to 50 percent. However, the second-hand trade in stairlifts also works the other way round. If a lift is no longer needed, you can sell it second-hand.

New stairlifts cost including installation and assembly usually from about 4,000 €. For this price, however, you usually get only a relatively simple version for short and straight stairs. If individual adjustments are necessary or for round stairs around the corner, the prices can easily rise to over 10,000 €. A favorable alternative is the second-hand purchase of a seat lift.

Acorn stairlift used

Stairlifts are long lasting with proper maintenance and care. Buying a seat lift used, for example, through eBay Classifieds can make sense for this reason. However, significant price savings are only possible to a limited extent here, as you are responsible for collection, installation, maintenance and repair yourself.

You should calculate with a price that is about 50 percent below the new price. For collection, assembly and adjustments one should plan an additional amount of 2500 €.

Where to find used offers?

Used stairlifts can be purchased directly from private individuals or through specialized dealers. The latter is in any case the more comfortable and safer option. The installation of a lift should always be carried out by trained professionals. Buying from a supplier who will then also carry out the installation is therefore recommended. Last but not least, this also provides a legal warranty of up to two years. Alternatively, you can buy a seat lift on eBay and have it installed by a specialist company.

How much can I save?

Stairlift used

Prices when buying used are around 50 percent lower than new prices. When buying a seat lift from private individuals, further savings are possible. One should calculate then with prices, which amount to approximately 30 per cent of the new price. One should note however that costs for the dismantling, the transport and for the examination of the stair lift result. When buying through a commercial dealer, these costs are already included in the purchase price, so on balance this may be the cheaper alternative.

Which stairlifts are suitable for used purchase?

In principle, any type of stairlift can be purchased used. Whether a seat lift, stand-up lift or platform lift is needed, there are corresponding used offers on eBay classifieds. One should always consider the individual living situation. Only in this way can the appropriate lift be identified. Through dialogue with a specialist dealer or private seller can be avoided that it comes to a wrong purchase.

Stairlift drive

Stairlifts are individually adapted to the different needs of users and to the conditions in the staircase. Short, straight staircases require few to no adjustments in this regard. Seat lifts for straight staircase shapes are therefore particularly suitable for second-hand purchases. When stairs go around corners or curves, buying a used stairlift becomes more difficult because you usually can’t use the private seller’s rail system. Manufacturers, on the other hand, usually sell their rail system only together with a lift in mint condition. So you are in a dilemma.

Why is expert advice important?

ThyssenKrupp used

In no case should a stairlift be purchased without appropriate advice. Even when buying second-hand, you therefore have to rely on experts who first check whether the seat lift on offer is suitable for your own staircase at all. Subsequently, the lift must be installed professionally, which should also be left to a trained professional.

In many cases, it makes sense to replace wear parts after buying a used lift. This primarily concerns the seat cushion, handles and the drive joystick, as well as safety-relevant components. Buying from a dealer ensures the necessary safety, because the critical components are subjected to appropriate testing before assembly. The lift is thus general overhauled.

Compare prices for used stairlifts?

The price comparison for stairlifts is generally difficult because the purchase price usually includes not only the lift itself, but also service work such as adjustments, installation and maintenance. This is no different when buying a used stairlift. Therefore, comparing standard configurations and prices is usually of limited value. The best way to find the ideal stairlift is to compare several individual offers. This also applies to second-hand purchases.

Maintenance and warranty

Used stairlift outdoor

Used stairlifts from a commercial dealer come with an appropriate warranty and guarantee. This ensures that the used bargain does not subsequently turn out to be a bad offer. This does not apply to non-commercial private sellers. Only a specialized dealer is able to maintain the seat lift and the rail system in the long term. This ensures a long service life and appropriate value retention.

Sale of a used stairlift

The used trade in stairlifts includes not only the purchase, but also the sale. This is particularly relevant if the lift is only to be used for a foreseeable period of time. Depending on the age, condition and overall structural situation, it is possible to achieve up to 30 percent of the former new price when selling a used stairlift. The easiest and most convenient way is to sell to an appropriate used dealer such as der-treppenlift.de.

    Dear Sir or Madam,

    I have a used stairlift for sale. The manufacturer is Stannah, so I gather from the writing on the armrest. The lift is straight with a 380 cm long rail. The seat including footrest and armrests is foldable. It can also be rotated up to 90°. There are two remote controls to call the seat lift. The unit is fully functional. Unfortunately, I no longer have an invoice. The stairlift was mounted on a wooden staircase. If in principle there is interest in a purchase, I could also send you photos. An inspection of the lift would also be possible. With kind regards D. Carstensen
