Sell Your Greenhouse in the US

Used greenhouses in the US typically sell for $81 to $540. Greenhouses are almost always sold for collection and dismantling, so the buyer is really assessing how much work they are taking on.

Selling a greenhouse 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

Count the panes and note how many are broken or missing
Bag every glazing clip and fixing before dismantling

Getting it ready

Count the panes and note any that are cracked or missing, and check the aluminium frame for bent sections.
Check the door runs, the vent openers, and whether the base or anchor kit is included.

Size, frame and glazing: “8x6ft Aluminium Greenhouse, Toughened Glass, Buyer Dismantles”. The glazing type belongs in the title because it changes the job and the risk, and stating that the buyer dismantles filters for someone who has done it before.

Strongest from February to June, when growers are setting up for the season. Autumn sales are slow and achieve noticeably less.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $538 a buyer pays is the $538 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Where in the US

The United States is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of the United States with their own page for greenhouses.

Common questions

Where can I sell a greenhouse 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.

What sort of glass is it?

Answer specifically. Horticultural glass is thin, unedged and breaks into long shards; toughened glass and polycarbonate are far safer to handle. Buyers with experience always ask this first.

Who dismantles a greenhouse?

Normally the buyer, and it should be stated clearly. Dismantling is a half-day job and buyers need to plan for it.

Are missing glazing clips a problem?

Yes. They are needed in large numbers, and sourcing the right type for an older frame is fiddly.
