What a used hob is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for hobs, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £180 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £153 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £117 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £81 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £45 | 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 hob
- Induction hobs, which are most in demand
- All burners or zones working evenly
- Unscratched glass or intact enamel
- Original pan supports and control knobs
What lowers it
- Cracked glass, which makes the hob unusable
- Failed zones or burners
- Missing pan supports and knobs
- Older gas hobs, which sell for less
How to work out what yours is worth
- Test every zone or burner at full power
- Measure the cut-out dimensions precisely
- Check the glass for chips and cracks
Once you have those three answers you can place your own hob 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 should I state when selling a hob?
The cut-out dimensions. Hobs fit a specific hole in the worktop, so without measurements a buyer cannot tell if it will work.
Are induction hobs worth more?
Yes, clearly. They are the most in demand and command a premium over gas and ceramic.
Is a cracked hob worth selling?
Cracked glass makes it unsafe to use, so it is worth very little other than for parts. Disclose it plainly.
