Sell Your Angle Grinder in the US

Used angle grinders in the US typically sell for $27 to $160. Grinders lead a hard life, so buyers assume heavy use and check the guard, bearings and switch.

Selling an angle grinder 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.

Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.

Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.

Working out what yours is worth

Getting it ready

Check the cable and plug, test the spindle lock, and listen for bearing noise when it runs.
Note the disc size and gather the spanner, side handle and any spare discs.

Brand, disc size and power: “Bosch 115mm Angle Grinder, 900W, with Guard and Handle”. Disc diameter is the search — 115mm, 125mm and 230mm are quite different tools. Say whether the guard and side handle are present, because a grinder missing either is worth much less.

Steady year round with a spring lift. Trade brands sell within days; older unbranded grinders compete on price and are plentiful.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $162 a buyer pays is the $162 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 angle grinder 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.

Does it come with the guard?

Confirm it and photograph it fitted. A guard is not an optional accessory, and a grinder sold without one is being sold for unsafe use.

Why does spindle wobble matter?

It means worn bearings, which causes poor cutting and can lead to disc failure. It is the main thing to check.

Should I sell one without a guard?

Source a replacement first. A grinder with no guard is genuinely dangerous and many buyers will refuse it.
