What a used cooker is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for cookers, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £350 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £297 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £227 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £157 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £87 | 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 cooker
- Ovens holding accurate temperature
- All hob burners or zones working
- Complete with shelves, trays and grill pan
- Standard widths that fit common gaps
What lowers it
- Failed elements or inaccurate thermostats
- Heavily burnt-on interiors
- Missing shelves and grill pans
- Non-standard widths that fit few kitchens
How to work out what yours is worth
- Heat the oven and check with a thermometer
- Test every hob zone
- Measure the width and state it clearly
Once you have those three answers you can place your own cooker 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
What width cooker sells best?
Standard widths that fit common kitchen gaps. Give the exact measurement, since a non-standard cooker suits far fewer buyers.
Do I need a qualified fitter?
Gas cookers must be connected by a registered engineer. Say so in the listing so buyers plan for it.
Does a dirty oven affect the price?
More than it should. A thorough clean before photographing makes a substantial difference to how it is received.
