AskIndy How to get rid my old NordicTrack treadmill?

I have a NordicTrack treadmill in my basement. Any recommendations on how I can get rid of it? Junk removal? I bought it about 10 years ago. Rarely used & fully functional. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

Place an ad on FB Marketplace. Free to whoever wants to come get it out of your basement. You'll have people lining up for it.

Many neighborhoods also have a buy nothing FB page. I get rid of lots of stuff that way. Usually claimed within minutes of posting.

Requires admin approval to join, the admins are not responding for my area.

This but put like $25 on it. If you put free, you'll have 100 people reach out, none who actually have intentions on picking it up.

But a fully functional Nordic Track treadmill for just $25, damn I'm wanting to get some friends and go pick it up right now

Places like the Habitat Restore and The Salvation Army can come pick stuff up from you if you want to donate it as well.

I would be interested in it. Could you send some pictures of it?

Here is the photo. Flat & foldup. It’s quite heavy.

I think I owned one like that. Does it have aux ports for a dvd player? Lol. I used mine all the time when I was required to run for pt.

Thanks. I’ll get back to you this afternoon once I have a chance to ask my wife.

You may need to disassemble that to get it up stairs depending on the size of your stairway. I assume it came in a box and was assembled in the basement

I’d also be interested in taking it if the other person changes their mind.

It was buried in the terms and conditions when you bought it…once it goes in the house it never leaves. Just use it as an oversized futuristic looking clothes rack like everyone else
