What a used keyboard piano is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for keyboard pianos, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £300 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £255 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £195 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £135 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £75 | 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 keyboard piano
- Weighted or semi-weighted key actions
- Every key sounding evenly with no dead notes
- Original stand, pedal and power supply
- Recognised makers with a following among players
What lowers it
- Dead or sticking keys, the most common fault
- Failing contacts causing uneven velocity response
- Missing power supply, which is often proprietary
- Unweighted budget keyboards, which sell for very little
How to work out what yours is worth
- Play every key individually and listen for dead or uneven notes
- Test the sustain pedal and any expression inputs
- Confirm you have the correct power supply
Once you have those three answers you can place your own keyboard piano 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 used keyboards worth much?
Weighted-action instruments from recognised makers hold value reasonably. Unweighted budget keyboards sell for very little.
What is the most common keyboard fault?
Dead or uneven keys from failing contacts. Play every key before listing, because buyers will ask.
Does the power supply matter?
Yes, more than sellers expect. Many are proprietary voltages, and a keyboard without one is awkward to test or use.
