Used cross trainers in Australia typically sell for A$135 to A$670 (about $94 to $470). Cross trainers fail to sell on access, not price — they are heavy, rarely fold, and buyers cannot picture getting one out of your house.

Selling a cross trainer in Australia
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
Australia’s second-hand market is strongly local and strongly seasonal, with most activity concentrated in the eastern capitals and buyers who expect to collect.
WishThrift has not opened Australia for trading yet, so this page is a guide rather than a live marketplace — the category becomes browsable here the moment the first Australian sellers list.
Seasons are inverted relative to the UK and North America: warm-weather items move from September, and winter gear from around May.
Working out what yours is worth
- Use it through the full resistance range and listen
- Work out how far it dismantles
Getting it ready
- Measure the assembled footprint and height, and weigh it or find the figure in the manual.
- Fit a fresh battery in the console and check the resistance works through its full range.

Put in the description
- Brand, model, and resistance type
- Stride length, and maximum user weight
- Assembled footprint, height and weight
Brand, resistance and stride: “NordicTrack Cross Trainer, Magnetic, 18in Stride, Ground Floor”. Stride length matters to taller users and is almost never stated. Putting the floor it is on in the title sounds odd but genuinely brings in buyers who would otherwise scroll past.
January dominates, with a smaller autumn lift. A cross trainer listed in June sells slowly and for noticeably less, so holding until the new year is usually worth it.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the A$671 a buyer pays is the A$671 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 cross trainer in Australia?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.
How heavy is it?
Give the figure from the manual. Most cross trainers need two people and a van, and a buyer arriving alone in a car is a wasted afternoon for both of you.
What is the most common fault?
Worn bearings, heard as grinding or knocking through the stride. Use it for a few minutes and listen.
How is it collected?
By the buyer, usually with help. State the weight and whether it dismantles.
