What a used breast pump is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for breast pumps, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £90 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £76 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £58 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £40 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £22 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a breast pump
- Closed-system pumps, which can be hygienically reused
- All tubing, shields and bottles included
- Recognised brands with replacement parts available
- Hospital-grade models, which hold value best
What lowers it
- Open-system pumps, which cannot be safely shared
- Missing tubing and shields, which are model-specific
- Degraded motors with reduced suction
- Missing power supply
How to work out what yours is worth
- Confirm whether the pump is a closed or open system
- Check the suction against the specification if you can
- Sterilise all parts and photograph them clean
Once you have those three answers you can place your own breast pump on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
Can you sell a used breast pump?
Only closed-system pumps, which have a barrier preventing milk reaching the motor. Open-system pumps should not be resold for hygiene reasons.
What is a closed system?
A pump with a barrier between the milk and the tubing and motor, so nothing can cross-contaminate. It is the key thing buyers ask about.
Should I include the shields and bottles?
Include the tubing and hard parts, sterilised. Many buyers replace the soft parts themselves, but the model-specific pieces matter.
