What a used pyjamas is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for pyjamass, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £25 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £21 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £16 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £11 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £6 | 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.

Frequently asked questions
Do used pyjamas sell?
For modest sums, and mainly natural fabrics from recognised labels. Say clearly that they have been washed.
Should sets be sold together?
Yes. A top or bottom alone rarely sells, while a matching set moves quickly.
What condition issues matter?
Bobbling and perished elastic. Both are signs of heavy washing and are what buyers look for.
