What a used oven is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for ovens, 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 oven
- Working fan, element and thermostat holding temperature
- Clean interior with intact enamel
- All shelves, trays and the original door glass
- Recent models with pyrolytic cleaning
What lowers it
- Failed elements or a thermostat that runs hot or cold
- Chipped enamel and heavily burnt-on interiors
- Cracked or missing inner door glass
- Missing shelves and runners
How to work out what yours is worth
- Heat it to a set temperature and check with an oven thermometer
- Confirm whether it is built-in or freestanding, and note the cut-out size
- Count the shelves and trays
Once you have those three answers you can place your own oven 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
Is a used oven worth selling?
Yes if it heats accurately. Buyers mainly want to know the element and thermostat work and that the door glass is intact.
How do I check an oven heats correctly?
Set it to a known temperature and check with an oven thermometer. A thermostat that runs well out is the fault buyers most want to avoid.
Does it matter if the oven is built-in?
A great deal. Built-in ovens need a matching cut-out, so give the exact dimensions or you will waste everyone’s time.
