What second-hand really costs on Ibiza: prices from our marketplace
Median asking prices per category from real listings on Ibiza Marketplace, with honest notes on method and practical tips for pricing your items.
“What should I ask for this?” is probably the most common question sellers have, and “Is this a fair price?” is the buyer's version of it. Instead of guessing, we looked at our own marketplace: every listing placed on Ibiza Marketplace since we started in January 2025. This article shows what people on the island actually ask for second-hand items, per category, and what you can learn from that when you price your own things.
One thing up front: we are a young, local platform. Between January 2025 and September 2026 there were 229 listings from 98 sellers, 58 of them marked as sold, and 172 conversations between buyers and sellers. That is enough to see useful patterns, but not enough to treat the figures below as hard market prices. We explain exactly how we calculated them further down.
Asking prices per category
The table shows the six categories with at least ten fixed-price listings. For each one you see the number of listings, the median asking price (the middle value: half of the listings ask less, half ask more) and the range in which the middle half of all asking prices falls.
| Category | Listings | Median asking price | Middle half of listings |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home (furniture & household) | 66 | €78 | €30–€250 |
| Electronics | 29 | €120 | €70–€410 |
| Fashion | 23 | €45 | €23–€80 |
| Cars | 17 | €3,750 | €1,900–€5,500 |
| Bikes | 12 | €225 | €70–€588 |
| Kids | 10 | €35 | €16–€73 |

Categories such as sports, toys, garden and art have fewer than ten listings so far, too few to give a reliable figure.
What the numbers tell you
- Home is the busiest category. With 66 listings, furniture and household items make up the largest group. The median asking price is €78, but the middle half runs from €30 to €250: a lamp and a sofa simply live in different worlds. Home is also the only category with enough sold items to say something about speed. The 22 home items marked as sold were, at the median, sold 5.3 days after they were listed.
- Electronics and bikes vary a lot. The middle half of electronics sits between €70 and €410, and bikes between €70 and €588. These categories mix small accessories with expensive items such as laptops or e-bikes, so the median alone says little. Compare your item with listings of the same type and age.
- Fashion and kids' items are modestly priced. Medians of €45 and €35, with most listings below €80. Buyers in these categories tend to compare quickly, so a clear price matters.
- Cars are their own market. Half of the 17 car listings ask between €1,900 and €5,500. For a car, age, mileage, maintenance history and paperwork matter far more than any category average.
How to price your item
- Start with current listings. Search the category for items like yours and note their prices. If you land in the middle of what others ask, you are usually in a sensible place. Well above that range? Make sure your photos and description explain why.
- Be honest about condition. Mention scratches, missing parts and how long you used it. A buyer who finds a surprise at pickup will want to renegotiate on the spot; a buyer who knew in advance won't.
- Good photos support your price. Use daylight, a tidy background and several angles, including any damage. Add the size of furniture; it saves a lot of questions.
- Decide your lowest price in advance. Leave a little room above it if you expect offers, and don't feel obliged to accept the first low bid. If there are no reactions after a week or two, lowering the price is usually more effective than waiting.
- Bundle items that belong together. A table with chairs, or a box of kids' clothes in one size, is easier to sell as a set than piece by piece, and saves you several pickups.
- Think about pickup. Ibiza is small, but not everyone has a van. Say where the item is and whether you can help with transport; it can make the difference for bulky furniture.
For buyers the same logic works the other way around: check what similar items ask, ask about condition before you travel, and make a reasonable offer rather than a very low one. Sellers are more willing to move on price for someone who is friendly and ready to pick up.
How we calculated this
- Source: all non-deleted listings on Ibiza Marketplace from January 2025 to September 2026.
- Asking prices, not sale prices: we only used listings with a fixed price. We don't know what was finally paid, because buyers and sellers agree on that between themselves.
- Median and middle half: we use the median instead of the average, so that one very expensive or very cheap item does not distort the picture. The “middle half” is the range between the 25th and 75th percentile.
- Time to sale: measured from the moment of listing until the seller marked the item as sold. We only report it for home, the one category with enough sold items.
- Small sample: with 229 listings, a handful of new ones can shift the figures. We will update this article as the marketplace grows.
In short
Use the table as a starting point, not as a price list. The best reference is always what comparable items ask right now, adjusted for the condition of yours. Price clearly, describe honestly, add good photos, and you give both yourself and the buyer the best chance of a quick, fair deal.
