I think that's your best bet. That and freecycle plus local ads.

"From 1st January 2018, all local space heaters manufactured for sale in
the EU which use electricity, gas or liquid fuels must comply with a
minimum efficiency standard." -- So, unless you can find some old
pre-Jan stock somewhere, you are not going to be able to buy new.


Since the minimumand maximum efficiency of an electrical heating
system (that doesn't involve pumps, motors etc) is 100%, what
possible nonsense could the EU impose ?.
