Selling old beehives?

[nao57]

I've got some old beehives that look kind of battered. But still good. Will I be able to get something for them trying to sell them if they were homemade and not perfect looking? Hoping for some advise on this.

Beehives sale for up to $250 for the big new ones. So you may could make at least $50 on a used hive.

I used to make mine with wood salvaged from skips, all different thicknesses and bits cobbled together, the bees didn't care. As Meadowlark observed elsewhere varroa has reached you now, that might hit demand a bit.
