Used gym leggings in New York typically sell for $13 to $54. Gym leggings sell on squat-proof opacity and waistband recovery, and buyers will not commit until you have addressed both.
Selling gym leggings in New York
New York apartments are small and most people do not own a car, and those two facts decide the whole second-hand market here. Furniture that fits a narrow room and can be carried up a staircase moves; anything oversized sits unsold however good it is.
Leases turn over constantly and moving day here means whole apartments emptied at once. The supply of used furniture is effectively continuous rather than seasonal, which is why prices stay reasonable even for good pieces.
Confirm the floor and the elevator before anything else. A fifth-floor walk-up is the single commonest reason a furniture sale falls apart here, and it is nobody’s fault if it was never asked.
New York has around 8.3 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Buffalo, Rochester and Yonkers are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in New York
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell gym leggings in New York?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. Almost everything changes hands on the subway or on foot, so agree a station and a time rather than an address. For furniture, the question that decides the sale is which floor and whether there is an elevator — ask it before you agree a price, not when you arrive.
Has the waistband gone?
Stretch and release it. Waistband recovery is what ends a pair of gym leggings and buyers check first.
