Used table tennis tables in the UK typically sell for £50 to £300 (about $67 to $405). Table tennis tables sell on whether they fold and roll, because that decides whether the buyer can store one at all — so lead with it.

Selling a table tennis table in the UK
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.
The UK has the deepest second-hand habit of any of our markets — charity shops, car boot sales and online resale have been mainstream here for decades, so buyers arrive already comfortable with used goods and already know roughly what things are worth.
Royal Mail, Evri and InPost cover the whole country, and InPost lockers mean neither side has to be in for a delivery. Tracked 48 is the usual default for small parcels.
Second-hand demand peaks in January, in the weeks before Christmas, and at the start of the academic year in September.
Working out what yours is worth
- Sight along the playing surface for warping
- Fold and unfold it checking the mechanism
Getting it ready
- Measure the playing surface and check it is full size, and note the top thickness in millimetres.
- Check the playing surface for warping, chips and water damage, particularly on outdoor tables.

Put in the description
- Full size or compact, and the playing surface dimensions
- Top thickness in millimetres, and indoor or outdoor
- Whether it folds and rolls, and the folded footprint
Size, thickness and storage: “Full Size Table Tennis Table, 19mm Top, Folds and Rolls”. Top thickness is the quality signal players search on. Say indoor or outdoor, since outdoor tops are weatherproofed and play differently.
Collection only — large, heavy and awkward even folded. Say whether it rolls on its wheels and whether it fits through a standard doorway folded.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the £300 a buyer pays is the £300 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 table tennis table in the UK?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.
Is it indoor or outdoor?
Say which. Indoor tops swell and delaminate if left outside, and buyers planning garden use need to know.
What ruins a table tennis table?
Water damage causing the top to warp or swell. Once the surface is uneven the table cannot be played on properly.
How is it collected?
By the buyer, with a van. State the folded dimensions and weight so nobody arrives unprepared.
