Sell Your Used DJ Mixer — 0% Fees

A used DJ mixer typically sells for £60 to £350, and on WishThrift it costs you nothing to list — no fee, no commission, so you keep the whole amount you agree. Mixers sell on channel count and fader condition, and the fault buyers listen for is crossfader bleed or a channel that cuts out.

The short version

Typical range: £60 – £350 — see the full DJ mixer value guide
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.

Note the channel count, whether the faders are replaceable, and what inputs and outputs it has.
Test every channel, EQ band and the crossfader through its full travel.
Check for crackle on the gain and EQ pots, and whether any channel drops out.

The photographs that sell a DJ mixer

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.

Any worn label, bent knob or damaged socket

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 It feels counterproductive, but a listing that shows the worst of an item gets fewer questions, fewer withdrawn offers and fewer arguments at handover.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, channels and features: “Pioneer DJM-450 2 Channel DJ Mixer with Effects”. Channel count is the primary filter. Say whether the crossfader is a replaceable cartridge type, which serious buyers specifically want.

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

Brand, model and number of channels
Input and output types, including phono, line, XLR and USB
Whether it has built-in effects and a sound card
Crossfader type, and the condition of all faders and pots

What buyers will actually ask

You will receive the same three messages about a DJ mixer. 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 crossfader bleed?”

Run it fully to each side and listen for signal leaking through. Bleed is the standard wear point and buyers test it first.

“Do all channels work?”

Test each one individually with a source. A dead channel halves the mixer’s usefulness and must be disclosed.

“Is the crossfader replaceable?”

Check whether it is a cartridge type. Replaceable faders mean the mixer can be refreshed cheaply, which buyers value.

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 DJ mixer 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 £205 sale — roughly the middle of the range for a DJ mixer — 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	£205
Poshmark	−£41	£164
eBay	−£28	£177
Mercari	−£20	£185
Etsy	−£13	£192

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

Steady with a Christmas lift. Recognised club-standard mixers hold value well.

Compact but with vulnerable controls. Box it with the knobs protected, and use the original packaging where possible.

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 DJ mixer worth?

Typically £60 to £350 depending on brand, channels and features. See the DJ mixer value guide.

What is crossfader bleed?

Signal leaking through when the fader is fully to one side. It is the standard wear fault on a used mixer and easy to test — run the fader to each end and listen.

Can worn faders be replaced?

On many mixers yes, as a cartridge that swaps out cheaply. Say whether yours is that type, because it means a worn fader is a minor issue rather than a serious one.
