Another vote for give it away and ensure you don't have any liability. I knew a family who took a freebie playset from neighbors and one of the parents later suffered a very serious injury, presumably because it wasn't reconstructed properly.

Exactly. How old are your children? (Rhetorical question.)

Time flies. Before you know it, they’ll be ready for a basketball hoop and soccer practice goal.

I remember the day a family came to pick up the wooden playset from the house across the street. The little girl who was the new owner was visibly delighted. But the dad, who (I gather) had has own odd-jobs firm, looked grim as he pulled up his truck and enlisted help from several of his friends/workers. It wasn’t an easy job, even for this professional!

However it conveys, make sure there is an As-Is clause. 4 years with no documented safety upkeep history could be a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Don’t forget it would cost you something to move it and reassemble at the new place. I’d use it as a chit for good will. Do they have contingencies? If they come back w/ small or annoying things on a home inspection, just say you’ll leave the playground equipment and call it even

Since the buyer has expressed interest in purchasing it, that already implies that they don’t think they are getting it for free. Tell them $750 and take $500.

This. When we moved we didn't even consider taking our swing set. We had it listed for sale that the swing set conveyed, and luckily our buyer had young kids and liked the swing set--it actually would have been a hassle for us if they had asked us to remove it.

Seriously, this. Don't nickel and dime, OP.

Give it to them and write it off as a business expense

Why would you charge them, just cut your losses and use the money you save moving it for something else.

1k because now you’ll need to buy another one.

$500

$500-700

1k

We have a buyer and Originally we planned to take the playground equipment to our new home but the buyer has expressed interest in purchasing it.

The total price of it was about $2000-2500 from Costco (installed). It’s about 4 years old.

How much would you offer it to the buyer for?
