Used strollers in the US typically sell for $54 to $335. Strollers are used for a couple of years and then sit in a hallway, which keeps supply high and condition generally good.

What lifts the price
- Recognised brands with strong resale followings
- Smooth-running wheels and a fold that locks properly
What pulls it down
- Stained or faded fabrics
- Discontinued models where spares have dried up
Selling a stroller 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
- Fold and unfold it several times to check the mechanism
- Spin each wheel and check for play in the axle
Getting it ready
- Fold and unfold several times to confirm the latch works, and test the brake on a slope.
- Wash the fabrics if removable and check the harness, wheels and recline mechanism.

Brand, model and fold type: “Babyzen YOYO2 Stroller, Cabin Size Fold, 6.2kg”. Cabin-approved folds are a deliberate search worth real money. Put the weight in the title — parents carrying a stroller up stairs care about it a great deal.
Steady demand all year. Compact and cabin-approved models from recognised brands sell within days; bulky older strollers move slowly.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the $336 a buyer pays is the $336 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 stroller 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.
How small does it fold?
Give the folded dimensions in centimetres. Buyers are measuring against a specific boot or overhead locker.
What do buyers check first on a used stroller?
The fold mechanism and the wheels. A stroller that sticks when folding is the most common complaint, so demonstrate it works.
Should I wash the fabrics before selling?
Yes. Most stroller fabrics are removable and machine washable, and a clean stroller sells noticeably faster.
