Used trampolines in the US typically sell for $54 to $335. Trampolines are almost always sold for local collection, and safety components rather than the frame determine whether it is worth buying.

Selling a trampoline 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.
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.
Demand rises through the spring cleaning season and again around college move-in in August, when furniture and small appliances move fastest.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check every spring for stretch and the mat for tears
- Bag all bolts and fittings when dismantling
Getting it ready
- Check the frame for rust at the leg joints, which is where a weathered trampoline fails.
- Assess the safety net honestly. Nets perish in sunlight and a torn one must be described, because it is the safety-critical part.

Diameter and features: “10ft Trampoline with Safety Net and Ladder”. Size in feet is the search, and the net matters enough to belong in the title. Say if it needs dismantling, and if a weather cover or anchor kit is included, list those too — they cost real money to replace.
Strongly seasonal. March to July is the whole market, with almost no demand from October onward. A clean trampoline with an intact net listed in spring sells within days.
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 trampoline 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.
Is the net included and intact?
Answer precisely and photograph it. Replacement nets are expensive relative to a used trampoline, so this single fact moves the price substantially.
How do I check the springs?
Look for stretched or distorted coils. A few stretched springs make the bounce uneven and are worth replacing before selling.
Who dismantles it?
Usually the buyer. Say clearly whether it is already apart and whether you have all the fittings.
