Default Used Granite

I'm in the process of refitting the kitchen, having united the previous kitchen and dining room.

I removed the old granite work surfaces and kept them, rather than throwing them in the skip. I thought they'd be worth something.

Looking on ebay, I see loads of people with a similar idea. I get them impression looking at the prices that there's not much of a market for used work tops.

Am I totally wrong. Anyone else out there tried to shift unwanted granite/marble ?

Thanks


No, but working granite is beyond any normal builder or kitchen fitter,
let alone diy person. Cutting it is very difficult and often dangerous.
Cutting accurately almost impossible. Polishing the cut edge requires
industrial equipment, abrasives and water cooling.
