Used greenhouses in Minneapolis typically sell for $81 to $540. Greenhouses are worth good money and are genuinely dangerous to dismantle — older ones are glazed with horticultural glass that breaks into blades, and the buyer needs telling before they arrive.
Selling a greenhouse in Minneapolis
The university adds an academic cycle to an already sharp seasonal one. Summer gear appears in autumn and winter gear in spring, and buying against the season is worth real money here.
Winter is a genuine constraint on moving anything large for several months, and prices reflect it. The lakes and river shape the road network, so the route matters more than the distance.
On anything stored in an unheated garage, check seals, glue joints and batteries. Winters here are severe enough that a season of storage does more damage than a year of use.
Minneapolis, in Minnesota, has around 430,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Saint Paul, New York and Los Angeles are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Minneapolis
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.
What greenhouses are worth
What lifts the price
- Aluminium frames with no corrosion or twisting
- Toughened glass or intact polycarbonate panels
What pulls it down
- Broken and missing panes
- Missing glazing clips, which are needed in quantity
Working out what yours is worth

- Check the frame is square and not twisted
Getting it ready

- Count the panes and note any that are cracked or missing, and check the aluminium frame for bent sections.

Collection, with the buyer dismantling in almost every case. Panes travel flat and interleaved, never loose. Sweep the site afterwards — broken horticultural glass in a lawn is a lasting hazard.
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.
