What a used camping gear is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for camping gears, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £150 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £127 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £97 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £67 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £37 | 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 camping gear
- Complete bundles covering a full setup
- Recognised outdoor brands
- Everything clean, dry and free of mildew
- Original stuff sacks and pegs
What lowers it
- Mildew from being packed away damp
- Missing pegs, poles and guylines
- Perished elastic in poles and shock cord
- Incomplete bundles with key items absent
How to work out what yours is worth
- Lay everything out and photograph the full bundle
- Check every item is dry and mildew-free
- List each piece individually in the description
Once you have those three answers you can place your own camping gear 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
Should I sell camping gear as a bundle?
Usually yes. Buyers are often kitting out from scratch, and a complete bundle sells faster and for more than the pieces separately.
What is the most common problem?
Mildew from packing away damp. It stains and smells, and it is the first thing an experienced camper checks for.
Do I need to list every item?
Yes. A vague bundle listing gets questions and low offers; an itemised one sells.
