What a used gym bag is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for gym bags, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £35 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £29 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £22 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £15 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £8 | 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.

Once you have those three answers you can place your own gym bag 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 gym bags worth selling?
Branded ones for modest sums; promotional bags are worth very little. Cleanliness matters more than almost anything.
How do I deal with odour?
A thorough wash and airing usually works. If it persists, say so honestly rather than hoping the buyer will not notice.
Do separate compartments help?
Yes, shoe and wet compartments are a genuine selling point and worth mentioning.
