Used tracksuits in New York typically sell for $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.
Selling a tracksuit in New York
New York apartments are small and most people do not own a car, and those two facts decide the whole second-hand market here. Furniture that fits a narrow room and can be carried up a staircase moves; anything oversized sits unsold however good it is.
Leases turn over constantly and moving day here means whole apartments emptied at once. The supply of used furniture is effectively continuous rather than seasonal, which is why prices stay reasonable even for good pieces.
Almost everything changes hands on the subway or on foot, so agree a station and a time rather than an address. For furniture, the question that decides the sale is which floor and whether there is an elevator — ask it before you agree a price, not when you arrive.
Confirm the floor and the elevator before anything else. A fifth-floor walk-up is the single commonest reason a furniture sale falls apart here, and it is nobody’s fault if it was never asked.
Handing it over in New York
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.

Put in the description
- Brand and specific product line
- Size of the top and the bottoms, stated separately
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.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
