How much is a used trampoline worth?
Most used trampolines resell for about $50–$200, mostly depending on size and whether the safety net and pads are still intact. A large (14ft+), name-brand trampoline (Springfree, Skywalker, JumpSport) with a complete enclosure net and good springs can bring $150–$400+. Smaller trampolines, or any missing their safety net or with a torn/faded mat, usually sell for $20–$60 — and a trampoline with rusted or missing springs is often not worth moving at all, since replacement parts and shipping can cost more than the item's resale value.
Here's what to check before you commit to hauling one.
Used trampoline value range
| Type / condition | Est. resale range |
|---|---|
| Small (8ft or under), worn mat, missing net | $10–$30 |
| Mid-size (10–12ft), net intact, mat in decent shape | $50–$120 |
| Large (14ft+), name-brand, complete enclosure and springs | $150–$300 |
| Premium (Springfree or similar spring-free design), like-new | $300–$500+ |
Estimates only — actual resale depends on size, completeness of the safety enclosure, and mat/spring condition. Not guaranteed.
What drives a trampoline's resale value
- Safety net and pad completeness. A missing or torn enclosure net is the single most common dealbreaker — buyers with kids won't take a trampoline without one, and replacement nets are model-specific and often expensive or hard to source.
- Mat condition. Sun-faded, torn, or stretched-out mats reduce bounce quality and are a real cost to replace. A mat with visible fraying or holes should drop your price expectations significantly.
- Springs. Rusted, missing, or stretched springs are individually cheap but tedious to replace in bulk — count how many are missing or badly rusted before assuming a "mostly complete" trampoline is an easy flip.
- Frame condition. Rust at the leg joints or a bent frame section is harder to fix than the net or mat, and it's a safety issue — inspect the frame as carefully as the jumping surface.
- Size and brand. Larger, name-brand trampolines (Springfree's spring-free design, Skywalker, JumpSport) hold value better than generic small round trampolines, which have a much lower resale ceiling regardless of condition.
Is a free trampoline worth flipping?
Only if the net, mat, and frame are all in real shape — this is a case where "mostly fine" often isn't good enough, since a missing safety net alone can make an otherwise nice trampoline unsellable to most buyers. A genuinely complete, large trampoline can net $100–$300 with just a clean and a spring check. Anything with a torn net, badly faded mat, or rusted frame is usually more effort (and safety liability) than it's worth for free.
What to grab: complete enclosure net, mat with good bounce and no major tears, minimal spring rust, straight frame. What to skip: missing/torn net, badly faded or holed mat, heavily rusted springs or frame — these add up fast and the parts aren't cheap or universal.
How to flip a free trampoline
- Inspect the net, mat, springs, and frame as four separate checks — a trampoline can look fine at a glance and fail on any one of these.
- Count missing or rusted springs — a handful missing is a cheap fix; a third of them gone is a bigger project than it looks.
- Clean the mat and frame and check for any structural rust at the leg joints.
- Disassemble carefully for transport if it doesn't fold — most trampolines break down into frame, mat, and net sections.
- Photograph it fully assembled with the net visible — that's the detail buyers check first.
Where free trampolines come from
Trampolines get given away when kids outgrow them, families move, or a torn mat/net makes the owner assume the whole thing is junk (when often only one part needs replacing). They show up in Buy Nothing groups and curb piles, especially in spring and early summer.
Freebox surfaces these free finds near your ZIP with an estimated resale value already attached, so you know if a trampoline is worth the trip before you go get it.

FAQ
How much is a used trampoline worth? Most used trampolines resell for about $50–$200. Large, name-brand trampolines with a complete safety net and good springs can bring $150–$400+, while smaller or incomplete trampolines often sell for $20–$60.
Is it worth flipping a free trampoline? Only if the safety net, mat, and frame are all genuinely intact — a missing net alone makes most trampolines a hard sell regardless of everything else. A complete, large trampoline can net $100–$300 after a clean and spring check.
What's the most common problem with free trampolines? A missing or torn safety enclosure net. It's the first thing buyers with kids ask about, and replacement nets are model-specific, so a missing one is a real cost to factor in before you commit to hauling the trampoline.
Are rusted springs a dealbreaker? A few rusted or missing springs are a cheap, easy fix. A trampoline missing a third or more of its springs is a bigger project — check the count before assuming it's an easy flip.
Where do people give away free trampolines? When kids outgrow them, during moves, or when one damaged part (net or mat) makes the owner think the whole thing is junk. Apps like Freebox aggregate these free finds and add an estimated resale value so you know what's worth grabbing.
