Used tracksuits in the UK typically sell for £15 to £60 (about $20 to $81). Tracksuits sell as a matched set, so confirm both pieces are the same colourway and size before listing — a mismatched set is worth far less than a real one.
What tracksuits are worth in the UK

Selling a tracksuit 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.
Distance selling rules bind traders, not private sellers, but an item must still be as described and anything sold as working must actually work.
Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm both pieces are present and match
- Stretch the waistband and cuffs to test the elastic
Getting it ready
- Check the top and bottoms are genuinely matching, same colour batch and same brand line.
- Note the sizes of each piece separately, since they are often different.
Photograph
- Both pieces laid out together, front
- Both size tags together
- Cuffs, zips and any pill, mark or repair
Put in the description
- Brand and specific product line
- Size of the top and the bottoms, stated separately
- Fabric composition and whether it is a matching set
Brand, line and both sizes: “Adidas Firebird Tracksuit, Navy, Top M Bottoms M”. Naming the specific line matters — sportswear tracksuit lines are searched individually. State both sizes, because they are frequently different.
Two pieces so heavier than it looks — weigh before quoting postage.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the £60 a buyer pays is the £60 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.
Where in the UK
The United Kingdom is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of the United Kingdom with their own page for tracksuits.
Common questions
Where can I sell a tracksuit 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 genuine?
Photograph the logos, the neck tag and the wash label. WishThrift does not verify items, so clear label photographs are the evidence.
Should I sell a tracksuit as a set?
Yes. Complete matching sets sell for far more than the pieces separately, and single items sit unsold much longer.
Are vintage tracksuits collectable?
Some are, particularly period sportswear with original branding. Photograph the labels clearly.
