What a used sports bra is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for sports bras, 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.
What raises the value of a sports bra
- Recognised activewear brands
- Elastic with full recovery in band and straps
- Removable pads still present
- Higher support levels, which are in demand
What lowers it
- Slack elastic that no longer supports
- Missing removable pads
- Pilling and bobbling on the band
- Unbranded bras, worth very little
How to work out what yours is worth
- Stretch the band and check it recovers fully
- Confirm both pads are present
- Wash it and say clearly that you have
Once you have those three answers you can place your own sports bra 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
Can you sell a used sports bra?
Yes, provided it is clean and the elastic still supports. Say explicitly that it has been washed.
How do I know if the elastic has gone?
Stretch the band. If it does not snap back fully the bra no longer supports, whatever it looks like.
Do the pads matter?
Yes. They are removable and often lost in the wash, and buyers notice when they are missing.
