How much is a used stove worth?
A used stove in good condition keeps about 50% of its original price at 3 years on this calculator's curve. If yours cost $1,100 new, that works out to roughly $400–$690 as a realistic asking range, with fair market around $550. Use the calculator above to adjust for your exact age, condition, and brand tier.
What do buyers check when picking up a used stove?
They'll light every burner and turn on the oven — so test all of it yourself first, and if the stove is already disconnected, say when it was last used and why it was disconnected. For gas ranges, mention whether the flexible connector line is included and its condition.
Do gas stoves sell better than electric?
They sell to different kitchens, not better or worse overall. Gas ranges draw buyers who specifically want flame cooking and have the line for it; electric and induction ranges fit more rentals. Either way, the working-condition demo and the fuel type in the title matter more than the fuel itself.
Should I sell my stove before a long-distance move?
Full-service long-distance movers effectively charge about $0.50–$0.80 per pound. At roughly 180 lb, moving a stove adds about $90–$145 to the bill — if that is more than its resale value, sell it before moving day and rebuy at your destination.
How long does a stove last?
About 14 years of typical service, per InterNACHI's standard life-expectancy chart (based on the NAHB study of home components). Buyers price used appliances on the years remaining, so a stove past that age should be priced to move fast or listed free.
