Garage Sale Exercise & Fitness Equipment Prices: What to Charge
Home exercise equipment is one of the most common big items at garage sales, and buyers know it. Treadmills, exercise bikes and ellipticals are heavy, so the price has to cover the buyer's trouble of moving them. Plug machines in and let shoppers walk or pedal for a minute so they can see the motor, belt and display work. Measure each machine and the doorways it has to pass through, and say on the tag whether you can help load. January and late spring are the busiest months for fitness gear.

Pricing tips for exercise & fitness equipment
- Have an extension cord ready so buyers can test treadmills and powered bikes before they pay.
- Write the brand, model and folded size on the tag so buyers can check it fits their car and home.
- Wipe down the seats, grips and belt; clean gear sells faster and for more.
- Mark the weight on every dumbbell and plate, and sell small weights as a set.
