Used prams in the US typically sell for $67 to $405. Prams are one of the strongest second-hand categories because they are expensive new and used only briefly.

What lifts the price
- Recognised brands with strong resale followings
- Clean, unfaded fabrics that have been washed
What pulls it down
- Stained or sun-faded fabrics
- Models discontinued long enough that spares have dried up
Selling a pram 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
- Identify the exact model and year from the frame label
- Wash the fabrics and photograph them dry in daylight
Getting it ready
- Fold and unfold it several times to confirm the mechanism latches properly, and test the brake on a slope.
- Identify the exact model and check which accessories you have: raincover, footmuff, carrycot, adapters.
Photograph
- Folded, so buyers can judge whether it fits their boot
- The seat fabric and harness, clean and clearly lit
Put in the description
- Folded dimensions, since boot space is a real constraint for buyers
- Condition of the fabrics, harness and wheels, described honestly
Brand and model with accessories: “Bugaboo Fox 3 Pram with Carrycot and Raincover”. Parents research one specific model and search for it by name, so the model is essential. Say whether it is a full travel system, since that is a different and higher-value search.
Consistently strong, with demand steady all year. Recognised brands sell within days; unbranded travel systems take much longer and sell for little.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $404 a buyer pays is the $404 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 pram 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.
Does it fold easily?
Demonstrate it if they collect. A stiff or sticking fold is the most common complaint about used prams and is worth mentioning before they find it.
Should I include the adapters and raincover?
Yes. They are model-specific, expensive to replace individually, and their absence is one of the main reasons buyers negotiate down.
Is it safe to buy or sell a used pram?
Generally yes, provided the frame is undamaged and the mechanism locks properly. Car seats are a different matter and need more care.
