Satellite dish
 
When we moved out of our last rental a year ago we left our dish as the next tenant was a friend and she wanted to use it. She is now moving out so I either have to take it down or try to sell it to the landlord who although is Spanish prefers British tenants so it would be useful to him.

How much should I ask him for it? It's a 1.3 metre twin LNB, mounted and aligned. How much would it cost to buy and fit it?

I will have the same along with a Sky + HD box for sale in a months time.

About €300 fitted.

First thing is to get the dish size correct.
Dishes should be measured horizontally, across the face of the dish, and NOT including the outer rim.
This is why people (read some installers in Spain (weirdly nowhere else!) say a 1.9m dish, when the dish actually measures 1.8m (as per the manufacturers spec), as 1.9m sounds like you are getting more dish for your money.
Also, you may find an oval "1.3m" dish is actually a 1.25m dish (1.25x1.35m), again measure horizontally for the official size.

300euros for a new 1.25m dish dish installed sounds about right.

Expect less for a second hand one. In fact I have about 3 1.25m dishes in the back of a store room sitting doing nothing...50e each (dish, supports, no LNB)!!!!

Update - I went with my friend to translate and to my amazement he gave her back her deposit!!

He didn't want to buy the dish though:frown:
