Sell Your Baby Monitor in the US

Used baby monitors in the US typically sell for $27 to $120. Monitors date quickly because the technology moves, so recent models with working batteries carry most of the value.

Selling a baby monitor 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

Charge the parent unit fully and time how long it lasts
Confirm both chargers are present

Getting it ready

Test both units together and check the battery life on the parent unit, which is the part that degrades.
Gather both power supplies, any wall mount and the original box if you have it.

Brand, model and type: “Motorola Video Baby Monitor, 5in Screen, Model MBP…” or “Audio Only Baby Monitor, DECT”. Say video or audio, and whether it is a standalone camera-and-parent-unit pair or app based, because that distinction decides whether it still works at all.

Steady year round with a lift in spring and early autumn. Standalone video monitors from known brands sell within a week; app-dependent models are much harder and worth less.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $121 a buyer pays is the $121 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Where in the US

The United States is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of the United States with their own page for baby monitors.

Common questions

Where can I sell a baby monitor 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 need an app?

Answer directly. App-dependent monitors become useless when support ends, so if yours needs one, say which and confirm it is still available and accepting new accounts.

What limits their value?

Parent unit battery life, mostly. Give an honest figure for how long it lasts off the charger.

Do app-based monitors still work if discontinued?

Often not. If the maker has withdrawn the app, the monitor may be unusable, so check before listing.
