As you say you are not a keen gardener and are planning an extension, I'd follow the advice of @pansyface and @AnniD above. The important thing is to have it removed safely by somebody else who wants it. You'll gain a better view from your house, outside playing space for your children, no fear of flying glass and £50!
Agree with the above thought that the GH is worth as much as someone is willing to pay. And that that it's worth getting less for it if that person is going to reliably turn up and is fully ready and well prepared to take it all away speedily.
My preference would be to find a school, charity or college that has been looking to buy a GH and gift it.
Inclined to agree with @Fire. £50 is hardly worth the hassle and if you can find a school , college or a community group of some sort who would make good use of it, then give it to them. Going down that route would not only be quite satisfying for you ( your Good Deed for the year! ) but would also more likely result in an efficient and careful dismantling/removal.
JL. I am not stalking you, but after our recent dialogue, I looked up your file on this forum. I had thought of contributing to this discussion at the time, but didn't.
Recently I put my house on the market. I have a good condition aluminium 12x8 greenhouse. The estate agents, to a man, said it won't add anything to the price, and would be worth nothing if sold separately.
location: Surrey Hills, England, ex-woodland acidic sand. "Have nothing in your garden that you don't know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
2nd hand greenhouses are now like hens teeth on Freecycle etc. I was very lucky a few years ago spotting a 6x8 one going free a few roads away from me. I was fortunate to have a son in law and daughter who dismantled it, borrowed a trailer free to transport it, bring it home and reassemble it. I could never have done it on my own but my, have I enjoyed having it. I haven't seen another on offer since, no wonder you had a lot of responses. Why was it not taken by someone? There may be a community garden near you who could use it. I would love one that size.
