Used snowboards in the US typically sell for $81 to $470. Boards are cheap to keep and expensive to replace, so a well-maintained deck with sound edges sells easily.

Selling a snowboard 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.
Two practical things shape a US sale. Shipping is priced by dimensional weight as well as actual weight, so a light bulky item can cost far more to send than a heavy small one — measure the box before you quote. And meeting in person is common enough that many police departments now run designated safe-exchange areas in their car parks.
Working out what yours is worth
- Lay the board on a flat floor and check the camber
- Look for gouges deep enough to reach the core
Getting it ready
- Check the base for gouges and the edges for rust or damage, and look at the topsheet for delamination.
- If bindings are included, note the model and the boot size range they are set for.

Put in the description
- Base and edge condition, including any core shot or repair
- Whether bindings are included, and the boot size they fit
Length, type and contents: “Burton Custom 158cm Snowboard with Bindings, All Mountain”. Length in centimetres is the primary filter. Say whether bindings are included and what boot size they suit.
November through February, peaking before the season. Spring listings sell for noticeably less.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $471 a buyer pays is the $471 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 snowboard 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.
Are bindings included?
Say so and give the model and boot size range. Bindings are a significant part of the value.
Does a flat board still ride?
It rides differently and less well. A board that has lost its camber is worth noticeably less, so check before pricing.
Should bindings be included?
It makes the listing far more attractive to a buyer starting out, and mounting hardware is fiddly to source separately.
