House we just bought has a very tired cooker, gas hob and electric oven. Would like to replace it with similar but don't want to spend a lot as the kitchen will be renovated at some future date (when we have won the lotto!). I've tried googling for second hand shops in Oliva or Gandia (our nearest towns) but can't find anything. Does anyone from that vicinity know of any second hand shops that does white goods?

There are few second hand shops in spain and most seem to be owned / frequented by Brits.

Unfortunately 2nd hand is not well known in Spain. Pity, but there you are.
I have seen a website, something like 'segundomano.es' or similar, which you could try.

segundamano.es is great. New stuff listed every day. We are big buyers in our neighbourhood :-)

Thanks for all the replies. We'll keep an eye on segundamano.es and see if anything turns up on there in our vicinity.

plenty of second hand cars, so why not other things !

why hasnt any far sighted Brit seen this gap in the market and started a secondhand business.............

Spanish kitchens are the real let down of most properties there, always seem about ten years behind the times.

I have a small 2nd hand cooker available at a good price, but its in the UK at the back of a garage.

There are 3 second-hand shops in Gandia one is just off the Placa Eliptica and look at www.andanadv.com

I've had a look around a few second hand shops in Spain just out of curiousity, and quite honestly with the difference in price between what they price things at and buying new, I wouldn't bother buying a second hand one. Gas hobs in particular are very cheap to buy here although they may not be very hi-tech in appearance, to say the least.

I have in the cellar a brand new 'Teka' electric oven/gas hob cooker....It was given to me by a friend who sold an apartment....Unfortunately the gas hob that was delivered when purchased is for a different model oven, with a bit of ingenuity I'm sure it can be usable.....Or you could order the correct hob....I don't need it so if you could collect on your way down from Sheffield, you are welcome to it...

Craigslist is very popular in the US. And it includes some sites in Spain: http://www.craigslist.org

There's also a similar Spanish site: http://www.loquo.com

Thanks for the additional info and special thanks to Domino and The Beast for their kind offers of free appliances. Alas, we're unlikely to take up either offer, kind as they are, due to location logistics.
