Used piece of exercise equipment prices by age and condition
What to ask for a piece of exercise equipment that cost $700 new. For a different new price, use the percentage: it is the share of the new price a mid-range one keeps in good condition.
| Age | Share of new price | Like new | Good | Fair |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under a year | 36% | $345 | $275 | $190 |
| 1 year | 32% | $305 | $245 | $170 |
| 2 years | 28% | $270 | $215 | $150 |
| 3 years | 25% | $235 | $190 | $130 |
| 5 years | 19% | $185 | $145 | $100 |
| 8 years | 13% | $125 | $100 | $70 |
| 10 years | 10% | $95 | $75 | $55 |
These are rules of thumb, not an appraisal. A well-known brand or solid build adds about 15%; budget or flat-pack takes off about 20%. More in how to price used furniture.
How to sell a piece of exercise equipment
- Name the brand and model, and say what works: the console, the incline, every resistance level.
- Give the footprint and the weight, and say whether it folds and whether there are stairs.
- Buyers compare free weights by the pound, so list the total weight you are selling.
If it has to go by moving day
A price that drops on a schedule gets buyers to claim early instead of haggling. Starting at $190 and stopping at $75, a ten-day plan looks like this:
| Today | Day 4 | Day 7 | Day 10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| $190 | $152 | $113 | $75 |
Set your own dates in the price-drop planner, or let PieceOut do it: every listing drops each morning until you move.
Sell it or move it?
A typical piece of exercise equipment takes about 30 cubic feet on a mover’s inventory and weighs about 210 lb. On a long-distance move charged by weight, that is about $168 at an example rate of $0.80 a pound, against the $190 it would sell for here.
