Browse the full range of used rowing machines on eBay → Prices move fast. See the biggest price drops across every category this week →A Concept2 is not really a used-goods purchase. This is the fact that catches people out. A new RowErg is around $990 before shipping, and the used ones on this page mostly sit within a couple of hundred dollars of that, sometimes closer. The machines are aluminium and steel with a chain and a fan, nothing wears out, and the result is a secondhand market that barely discounts. That is not a reason to avoid one, it is a reason to be honest about the saving before you drive two hours for it.
The connected rowers are the opposite trade. A Hydrow, an Echelon or an iFit NordicTrack costs a lot new and lands here at a fraction of it, because the screen is only worth what the subscription is worth and the second owner has to start that bill again. Before you buy one, find out exactly what the machine does with no membership: some drop to a bare stopwatch, some keep resistance control and a basic readout. That single answer is the difference between a bargain and a very large clothes rack.
Ask for the lifetime metres. Any decent monitor stores them, and it is the odometer for these machines. Under a million metres is barely run in. Several million on a Concept2 is still fine mechanically but should be reflected in the price, and a seller who will not photograph the number usually has a reason.
Water and air rowers have different failure modes. An air rower is a fan and a chain, so the worst realistic outcome is a rusty chain and a worn sprocket, both cheap. A water rower is a sealed tank, so ask whether it has ever leaked and whether the water has been treated, because algae in the tank means draining and refilling rather than a repair. Magnetic home models are the quietest and the least repairable: the resistance unit is usually a sealed assembly.
Measure the doorway before you agree a price. Most of these are over two metres long. A Concept2 splits into two parts in about ten seconds and fits in a hatchback, which is a large part of why the used market for them works. A WaterRower stands upright but has to be drained first, and the connected rowers are heavy one-piece frames that need two people and a van.
Collection-only is where the money is. Freight on something this long and heavy is brutal, so the sharpest prices are always local pickup and the shipped ones carry the cost. The totals here include shipping wherever the seller states it, so a cheap row that stays cheap after postage is a genuinely cheap row.
Live eBay listings. Pick a model and it fetches the current lowest-priced listings in real time, with the listing shown next to each price, so nothing here is an estimate.
Because almost nothing on it wears out. It is aluminium, steel, a chain and a fan, so a fifteen year old one rows like a new one and the secondhand market prices it that way. Expect a couple of hundred dollars off a new RowErg rather than half price.
For a photo of the monitor switched on showing lifetime metres. It proves the monitor works, which is the expensive part, and tells you how hard the machine has been used, both from one picture.
It depends on the model and you have to ask. Some drop back to a plain stopwatch with no resistance control, which is why they lose so much value. Others keep a basic readout. Find out before you buy, because it is most of what you are paying for.
Air is loud, indestructible and what rowing clubs use. Water is quieter with a pleasant sound and needs the tank kept clean. Magnetic is the quietest and the cheapest, and the least worth repairing when the resistance unit goes.
A Concept2 separates into two pieces in seconds and fits in most hatchbacks. A WaterRower has to be drained first. Connected rowers are one-piece and heavy, so plan for two people and a van, and read the listing for pickup terms before you commit.
A daily snapshot of the lowest genuine eBay price for every model we track, and how good that price is right now versus its usual level, updated automatically. Prices last refreshed 12 October 2026.

These are second hand prices, listed by sellers as used or pre-owned, taken from live eBay US listings in US dollars. In collectible categories a sealed or unworn item is sometimes the cheapest genuine listing, and it is included. The same number works both ways: it is what a buyer pays today and the resale value a seller can realistically ask. Every model also carries a price history, the daily record kept since tracking began, which is the part to read before you buy or resell. On a day when a model has no listing that passes these filters, its row keeps the last price we recorded rather than inventing one, and drops off this table if that goes on for more than a few days.
Under each model is the actual listing that price came from, so you can see whether it is the thing you want or a bundle, a variant, or an accessory that happens to share the name.
Over the period we have tracked, this category is down 1.0%, while the used market as a whole is down 0.3%. See the Used Price Index, which is built from these prices and published as a free CSV.
