Used activewear sets in the US typically sell for $20 to $74. Activewear is heavily supplied second hand, so brand and fabric integrity are what separate a sale from a listing that sits.

What lifts the price
- Recognised activewear brands with a following
- Intact waistbands with working elastic
What pulls it down
- Fabric that goes sheer when stretched
- Unbranded sets, which sell for very little
Selling an activewear set in the US
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.
Working out what yours is worth
- Stretch the fabric against the light to check opacity
- Confirm both pieces match in size and colour
Getting it ready
- Test the fabric for opacity when stretched, and check the waistband and seams.
- Note both sizes separately and the brand’s style names if they have them.

- Any pilling on the inner thigh, and seam condition
Brand, line and both sizes: “Gymshark Vital Seamless Set, Top S Leggings S, Sage”. Brand line names are searched exactly in activewear. State both sizes and confirm it is a genuine matching set.
Steady with a strong January lift and a spring bump. Recognised activewear brands sell within days.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $74 a buyer pays is the $74 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell an activewear set in the US?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
Is it a genuine matching set?
Check the line and the colour in daylight. Sets faded to different shades sell for much less and buyers notice.
How do I check if leggings have gone sheer?
Stretch the fabric over your hand against the light. If you can see through, buyers will notice too and should be told.
Should sets be sold together?
Yes. Matching sets sell noticeably better than separates in this category.
