Used cross trainers in the US typically sell for $94 to $470. Cross trainers are bulky and heavily supplied, so smooth running and ease of moving decide whether one sells.

- Very heavy one-piece frames
Selling a cross trainer 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.
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
Distances are the real constraint. State plainly whether you will ship or collection only, because a buyer three states away will otherwise ask.
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
- Assembled footprint, height and weight
- Which floor it is on, and whether it dismantles
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 $471 a buyer pays is the $471 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 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.
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.
