What a used cross trainer is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for cross trainers, 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 cross trainer
- Smooth, quiet action with no rubbing
- Working console and resistance control
- Recognised brands with parts available
- Designs that dismantle for transport
What lowers it
- Grinding or knocking from worn bearings
- Dead consoles on integrated displays
- Wobbling frames under load
- Very heavy one-piece frames
How to work out what yours is worth
- Use it through the full resistance range and listen
- Check the console powers up and reads
- Work out how far it dismantles
Once you have those three answers you can place your own cross trainer 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
Are cross trainers worth much second hand?
Prices are low because supply is high and moving them is difficult. Smooth running and a working console are what sell one.
What is the most common fault?
Worn bearings, heard as grinding or knocking through the stride. Use it for a few minutes and listen.
How is it collected?
By the buyer, usually with help. State the weight and whether it dismantles.
