What is a Nikon D3500 worth?
22 of the 25 sales we have on record are pre-owned. Here is what each one actually sold for, and when.
What it sells for
Half the Nikon D3500 sales in this set closed above $329.99 and half below it. The middle of the range runs $299.95 to $400 — that band is the number to price against, not the single highest sale you can find. Meanwhile 19 people are currently asking a median of $299 for one — $30.99 below what they have been going for. Asking below the sold median usually means sellers are undercutting each other to move stock, so don't read it as the ceiling. More on that gap.
How much condition matters here
Condition barely moved this one: the best- and worst-condition groups here are $0.01 apart, which is noise at this price. On a well-known model in working order, buyers appear to pay much the same whether it is boxed or used — so the median above is a fair number across the conditions in the table.
| Condition | Sales | Median |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-owned | 22 | $329.99 |
| Open box | 3 | $330 |
What moves the price up or down
- The spread is wide. The priciest sale here ($499.99) went for 2.7× the cheapest ($186). A gap that size is rarely the market being irrational — it is usually condition, completeness, or what came in the box.
- Bundles inflate the top end. 2 of these 25 listings are lots or multi-item bundles rather than a single Nikon D3500. Their prices are real, but they are not what one of yours is worth.
- Incomplete examples drag the bottom. 2 listings describe themselves as body-only, untested, as-is, or missing an accessory. Complete, working, photographed-well items sit nearer the top of the range.
- Where you sell it matters. These comps come from eBay. The same item moves at different prices — and different speeds — depending on the audience, and a local sale trades some of the price for not shipping it.
- Recency. These 25 sales closed between Aug 20, 2026 and Aug 26, 2026.
The sales behind this number
Every row is a real completed sale on a public marketplace. The links go to the original listings, which the marketplace may eventually remove.
How current is this?
We collected these comps on Aug 26, 2026 (2 days ago), and the most recent sale in the set closed on Aug 26, 2026. We do not re-fetch prices every time someone opens this page — refreshing costs real money at every marketplace, so these pages are rebuilt on a schedule rather than on demand. Treat a set older than about three months as a starting point, not an appraisal.
Pricing one yourself? Our guide to why asking prices and sold prices differ covers the part of this that the numbers above can't do for you.
Have one that isn't quite this one?
Condition, generation and what's in the box move the number more than the model name does. Photograph yours and get comps for the exact item.
