Used Bosch tools and DIY gear typically sell for $28 to $309 (about £21 to £230) depending on the tool and its condition. Used tools are bought for work rather than for looks, and the whole market runs on battery platforms. A cordless tool on a dead or obsolete platform is worth a fraction of the same tool with a healthy pack, which is why corded tools frequently outsell their cordless equivalents second hand.

Battery platform and voltage on Bosch tools and DIY gear
Bosch runs two completely separate power tool lines: a green consumer range and a blue professional one. They are different tools built to different duty cycles, and crucially their batteries do not interchange, which catches out more used buyers than any other detail in the category.
- Professional cordless tools hold value well and are bought by trades who already own the matching battery platform
- Consumer tools and pressure washers sell quickly at low prices to householders buying for one specific job
What to check before you buy
Say which of the two lines the tool belongs to, and photograph the battery foot. Somebody buying a bare tool to run on packs they already own has to know, and the colour alone is not always visible in a listing photograph.
For the checks that apply to any used tools and DIY gear regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used tools and DIY gear.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $169 Bosch tool, a marketplace charging 20% takes $34, one charging 13.6% takes $23 and one charging 10% takes $17. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $169.
Listing your Bosch tools and DIY gear
- List in spring for garden power tools. Seasonality is stronger here than in almost any other category and the same mower is worth noticeably more in April
- Charge the battery fully and report honestly how long it held under load. That one sentence is worth more than any photograph in this category

Questions
Do consumer and professional batteries fit the same tools?
No. The two ranges use different battery interfaces as well as different internals, so a pack from one will not run a tool from the other. If you are selling a bare tool, name the range explicitly rather than leaving the buyer to infer it from the colour.
