Used cross trainers in London, England typically sell for £70 to £350 (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 London
Rental tenancies here turn over faster than anywhere else in the UK, and a tenancy ending usually means an entire flat being cleared in a week. Add several hundred thousand students across dozens of institutions and the supply is effectively continuous.
Most small handovers happen at a station, because almost everyone is on the Tube or the rail network and almost nobody wants to drive. Driving into the centre means the congestion charge, the ULEZ and somewhere to park, so for anything you can carry, agree a station and a time. Anything sofa-sized needs a van and a realistic loading plan.
Ask which floor the item is on and whether there is a lift before you agree a price. A great deal of London housing is walk-up, and a wardrobe on the fourth floor is a different proposition from the same wardrobe on the ground.
London has around 8.9 million people in England, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Birmingham, Leeds and Sheffield are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in London
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands. Around Camden, Brick Lane and Peckham are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

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.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Anything sofa-sized needs a van and a realistic loading plan.
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.
