Used ride on toys in Philadelphia typically sell for $20 to $120. Ride-on toys are outgrown fast, which means most are sold in genuinely good condition — and the battery, if it has one, is the fact that decides the price.
Selling ride on toys in Philadelphia
Philadelphia is a rowhouse city with a very large student population across several universities. The houses are narrow with tight staircases, so furniture that fits a rowhouse sells and anything wide does not, regardless of quality.
Measure the staircase before agreeing to anything large — the turn at the top is what defeats most sofas here. SEPTA covers the city for small handovers and street parking is competitive enough that a loading plan is worth agreeing in advance.
Measure the staircase turn, not the doorway. Rowhouse stairs defeat more sofas than any other obstacle in this city, and the measurement that matters is the diagonal at the top.
Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania, has around 1.6 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Pittsburgh, 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 Philadelphia
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.
What ride on toys are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised brands with spares available
- Complete with chargers and accessories
What pulls it down
- Degraded batteries on powered ride-ons
- Cracked plastic bodies
Working out what yours is worth
- Charge it fully and test the run time
- Confirm the charger is present
Getting it ready
- Wash the bodywork and check the wheels for splits and the steering for play.
- Find the charger. A powered ride-on without its charger loses a large share of its value, and generic ones are not always safe substitutes.
