Selling a BBQ grill 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.

The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.

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

Light it and check every burner lights evenly
Confirm the regulator and hose are present

Getting it ready

On gas models, check the burners for rust-through and the igniter for a spark, and inspect the hose and regulator for perishing.
Decide what happens to the gas bottle. Cylinders cannot be posted, most are exchange-only property of the supplier, and a part-full one should never be handed over casually.

Put in the description

Fuel, size and brand: “Weber Spirit 3 Burner Gas BBQ, with Cover” or “Charcoal Kettle BBQ, 57cm”. Burner count is the search on gas models and diameter on kettles. Say whether a cover, tools or cylinder are included, because buyers assume they are and are disappointed otherwise.

Almost the whole market runs from April to July, with a short second window in late August. A clean barbecue listed in May sells within days; the same one in October may not sell at all.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $336 a buyer pays is the $336 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 a BBQ grill 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 the gas bottle included?

Say plainly in the listing. Cylinders are usually the supplier’s property on an exchange scheme, and a buyer expecting a full bottle who gets none has a real grievance.

What fails first on a gas barbecue?

The burners rust through, showing as uneven flame or flare-ups. Replacements are available for most recognised brands.

Do I need to include the gas bottle?

No, and many sellers do not. But include the regulator and hose, since those are specific to the barbecue.
