What a used jigsaw puzzles is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for jigsaw puzzless, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £15 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £12 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £9 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £6 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £3 | 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 jigsaw puzzles
- Confirmed complete puzzles
- Sealed, unopened boxes
- Larger piece counts and collectable brands
- Bundles of several puzzles
What lowers it
- Missing pieces, which make a puzzle worthless
- Water-damaged or crushed boxes
- Puzzles sold without checking completeness
- Very common mass-market titles
How to work out what yours is worth
- Build it, or state clearly that it is unchecked
- Count the pieces against the box if you can
- Bundle several rather than listing singly
Once you have those three answers you can place your own jigsaw puzzles 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 check a jigsaw is complete before selling?
Ideally yes, by building it. If you have not, say so plainly — a missing piece makes a puzzle worthless and buyers will complain.
Are puzzles worth selling individually?
Rarely. Bundles of several sell far better because postage rarely justifies a single puzzle.
Do sealed puzzles sell for more?
Yes, because completeness is guaranteed. It is the main thing buyers worry about.
