Used trampolines in New York typically sell for $54 to $335. Trampolines are almost always sold to a local buyer because they cannot be posted, and the sale turns on the state of the mat, springs and safety net.
Selling a trampoline 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.
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.
New York has around 8.3 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Buffalo, Rochester and Yonkers are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

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.
What trampolines are worth
What lifts the price
- Rust-free galvanised frames
- Recent purchase with all fittings
What pulls it down
- Rusted frames and seized bolts
- Missing fittings that prevent reassembly
Working out what yours is worth
- Check every spring for stretch and the mat for tears
- Inspect the frame joints for rust
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.

- The whole trampoline assembled in the garden, wide enough to show the frame and net
- The mat surface and its stitching, close up
Put in the description
- Diameter in feet, and shape if not round
- Whether the safety net, pads, ladder, cover and anchor kit are included
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.
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.

Are any springs missing?
Count them. A few missing springs is a cheap fix but affects the bounce and safety, and the buyer needs to know how many to order.
