What a used table tennis table is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for table tennis tables, 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 table tennis table
- Folding designs with working wheels
- Flat playing surfaces with no warping
- Thicker tops, which play better
- Complete with net, posts and bats
What lowers it
- Warped or water-damaged tops
- Seized folding mechanisms and broken wheels
- Missing nets and posts
- Outdoor tables left exposed and swollen
How to work out what yours is worth
- Sight along the playing surface for warping
- Fold and unfold it checking the mechanism
- Confirm the net and posts are present
Once you have those three answers you can place your own table tennis table 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
What ruins a table tennis table?
Water damage causing the top to warp or swell. Once the surface is uneven the table cannot be played on properly.
Does top thickness matter?
Yes. Thicker tops give a truer bounce and are what serious players look for, so state the thickness if known.
How is it collected?
By the buyer, with a van. State the folded dimensions and weight so nobody arrives unprepared.
