Marketplace price comparison
| Marketplace | Typical ask | Seller fee | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| Facebook MarketplaceLocal pickup is free to list. Shipped orders add a selling fee, so this column is the local cash price. | $213 | None on local | $213 |
| OfferUpLocal sales are free. A shipped sale adds a service fee on top of the price shown here. | $209 | None on local | $209 |
| eBayMost electronics pay about 13.25% final value fee plus a small per-order fee. Sellers usually ask more to cover it. | $238 | $32 | $206 |
| SwappaSwappa charges sellers a flat fee on many devices and checks the IMEI or serial before the sale. Swappa does not specialize in this category; the fee math is still shown so you can compare a flat fee with percent fees. | $227 | $15 | $212 |
| MercariAbout a 10% selling fee, plus payment processing that is not in this fee column. | $231 | $23 | $208 |
| Back MarketRefurbished stock with a warranty usually asks more than a private sale. Seller commission is about 10%. | $251 | $25 | $226 |
| AmazonAmazon Renewed referral fees are often around 15% by category, and the asking price includes a warranty premium. | $255 | $38 | $217 |
| EtsyAbout a 6.5% transaction fee plus a small listing fee. Electronics inventory is thinner than vintage and handmade. | $227 | $15 | $212 |
| VintedSellers pay no fee. Buyers pay a protection fee, so asking prices sit a bit under other shipped sites. Vinted is strongest for clothes, so electronics and furniture are a thin market here. | $205 | None on local | $205 |

Notify me when a cheaper listing dropsInspection checklist
- Plug it in and run a full cycle or a few minutes of the main function. Photos of a clean exterior are not a test.
- Check for leaks, burning smells, and unusual noise.
- Confirm the model number on the sticker matches the listing. Similar model numbers are different machines.
- Ask why they are selling and whether it needs a special outlet, vent, or water line.
- Measure the doors and the machine before you promise to pick it up. Delivery is the real cost on bulky appliances.
Scams and defects to watch
- Non-working machines get wiped down and listed as 'works great' because a meetup test is awkward.
- Model-number swaps hide a cheaper year of the same brand.
- Delivery fees demanded in cash before the truck arrives are a common extra.
- If they will not plug it in, assume it does not run.

Questions
How much is a used Shark Stratos?
For this used configuration, marketplace asking prices in the table run from $205 to $255, with an average around $228. The private-party anchor behind the table is $220 (BuyLow category reference, October 2026). Storage and condition adjustments are applied on top of that anchor when this page is not the base spec.
What is a buy-low price for a Shark Stratos?
$189 is the notify target on this page: the cheapest typical ask in the table, then about 8% under that. Listings under that number are the ones worth opening first. Anything priced like the average ($228) is ordinary, not a deal.
How much do eBay and Mercari fees take if I flip a Shark Stratos?
At the eBay asking estimate of $238, the fee in this table is $32, leaving about $206. Mercari's row uses a 10% selling fee. If you buy at the buy-low target and resell on eBay, the planning margin is $17 before shipping and your time. A negative margin means the gap is too thin.
Is an instant buyback better than selling a Shark Stratos yourself?
The instant buyback figure on this page is $100 (BuyLow category reference, October 2026). A local Facebook Marketplace sale is modeled around $213 with no seller fee. Selling it yourself wins when you can actually collect that higher price. Buyback wins when you want a label and no meetup.
What should I check before I pay for a Shark Stratos?
Plug it in and run a full cycle or a few minutes of the main function. Photos of a clean exterior are not a test. Non-working machines get wiped down and listed as 'works great' because a meetup test is awkward.
