Default Best place to sell interior Yorkshire sandstone flagstones?

I am thinking about taking out my internal Yorkshire sandstone
flagstones and laying a wooden floor. I was wondering where the best
place to sell these would be, and what kind of price I could expect?

They are from a 1880's terraced house.
They vary from 6 to 9cm thick. Ones I have pulled up are hand cut. i.e
you can see the old tool marks underneath.
Various sizes but most are approx 100 length, 60 cms width.
They weigh a hell of a lot!!

Thanks for any advice in advance!

Ebay. buyer collects!


The going rate for real sandstone is about £5 a flag,and they clean up,
with brick acid, a treat..


I think they are probably worth more than that unless they are cheap
modern imports that are only suitable for use indoors. I had some stone
flags stolen from my garden recently (about half a ton) and at £5 a flag
I can't see a tealeaf going to the trouble of loading them into his
pick-up.

I could do with a few cheap flags but sods law says these won't be near
me (Keighley) and I don't have any suitable transport anyway.

I bought NEW Indian sandstone at that price. UK stiff is about twice
that, new.
