Sell Your Used Blender — 0% Fees

A used blender typically sells for £15 to £70, and on WishThrift it costs you nothing to list — no fee, no commission, so you keep the whole amount you agree. Blenders sell on jug condition and on whether the blade assembly is sound, and the fault that ends most of them is a leaking seal at the base of the jug.

The short version

What decides your price: condition, and how well you evidence it in photographs
Cost to sell here: nothing, at any price

Before you photograph it

Ten minutes here is worth more than anything else you will do. Buyers are deciding between your listing and someone else’s, and preparation is what visibly separates the two.

Fill the jug with water and stand it on paper to check the base seal does not weep.
Check the blade for chips and the gasket for perishing, and confirm the jug is not crazed or cracked.
Run it briefly and listen to the motor, and check the jug locks onto the base correctly.

The photographs that sell a blender

Four photographs do almost all the work. Shoot in daylight, near a window, with the item against something plain — and do not use the flash, which flattens texture and hides exactly what buyers are trying to see.

Photograph the flaws too. It feels counterproductive, but a listing that shows the worst of an item gets fewer questions, fewer withdrawn offers and fewer arguments at handover. Buyers who can see the damage stop imagining something worse.

Writing the title and description

Brand, capacity and power: “Nutribullet 900W Blender with 2 Cups” or “Glass Jug Blender, 1.5L, 800W”. Wattage matters for ice and frozen fruit. Say whether the jug is glass or plastic, which is a real preference, and how many cups or attachments are included.

Then state these in the description, because a buyer who has to ask is a buyer who might not bother:

Jug capacity and whether glass or plastic
Motor wattage and number of speed settings
What attachments, cups or lids are included
Whether the jug leaks, and the blade and gasket condition

What buyers will actually ask

You will receive the same three messages about a blender. Answering them in the listing itself removes the back-and-forth, and answering them well when they do arrive is what turns an enquiry into a sale.

“Does the jug leak?”

Fill it with water and leave it standing. A weeping base seal is the standard failure and it is easily tested before listing.

“Is the jug crazed?”

Hold it to the light. Plastic jugs craze and cloud with age and dishwasher use, and it is very visible in person.

“Are the blades sharp?”

Look for chips and dullness. Blade assemblies are replaceable on many models, which is worth saying.

Pricing it so it actually sells

Start from the honest condition grade rather than the price you hope for. WishThrift listings use five grades — New with Tags, Like New, Good, Fair and For Parts — and what each grade means is worth reading before you choose, because grading up is the most expensive mistake sellers make. It does not raise the price; it produces a buyer who arrives expecting something else.

The blender value guide prices all five grades for this item. Pick your grade, take the figure, and if you sit between two grades price toward the lower one. Items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully, and on a free platform there is no fee eating the difference anyway.

What you keep, compared

On a £42 sale — roughly the middle of the range for a blender — here is what the commission-charging platforms would take, and what you would keep on each:

Where you sell it	Fee	You keep
WishThrift	£0	£42
Poshmark	−£8	£34
eBay	−£6	£36
Mercari	−£4	£38
Etsy	−£3	£39

Seller-side rates verified 26 Jul 2026 — Poshmark: 20% commission on sales of $15 and above; eBay: 13.6% final value fee, plus a per-order fee; Mercari: flat 10% selling fee; Etsy: 6.5% transaction fee, plus a listing fee and payment processing. Percentages are applied to the sterling figure above; the fixed per-order and processing charges those platforms add are quoted in their own currency and are not included here, so the real deductions are slightly larger. Full breakdown: marketplace selling fees compared.

Timing and getting it to the buyer

Lifts in January and again in spring. High-power blenders from known brands sell within days; basic models compete on price.

Pack the jug separately from the base with the blade assembly wrapped. Glass jugs need heavy protection and are the usual transit casualty.

WishThrift does not process payments or arrange delivery — you and the buyer agree both directly — so confirm payment has cleared before the item leaves your hands, and keep the conversation on the site so there is a record of what was agreed.

Frequently asked questions

What is a used blender worth?

Typically £15 to £70, with high-power and premium brands above. See the blender value guide for the condition bands.

Can a leaking blender be fixed?

Often yes — the gasket at the base of the jug perishes and replacements are cheap for common models. Say the model and describe the leak rather than hiding it.

Is a glass or plastic jug better?

Glass does not craze or hold odours but is heavier and breakable; plastic is lighter but clouds with age. Buyers have a firm preference, so say which yours is.
