Why buy a used trade show booth?
For most exhibitors, a used trade show booth is simply the smarter buy. A pre-owned exhibit costs far less than new fabrication, is often available in weeks rather than months, and — because trade show booths are built to be assembled and disassembled many times — a well-kept used booth has plenty of life left. It is a particularly good fit for repeat exhibitors who show at several events a year and for companies stepping up from a tabletop to a 10x10, 10x20 or 20x20 island.
- Lower cost than new fabrication — typically 50–70% less than an equivalent custom build.
- Faster availability — skip long design-and-build lead times when a show is close.
- Great for repeat exhibitors — own your exhibit instead of renting it every show.
- Fits every footprint — 10x10, 10x20, 20x20 and larger island booths.
- Easily refreshed — new graphics, lighting and hardware make a used booth look brand new.
What types of used booths can be listed or found?
BoothFlip covers the full range of pre-owned exhibits and trade show equipment, so buyers can match a booth to their space and sellers can list whatever they have:
- 10x10 inline booths — compact backwall displays for a single aisle.
- 10x20 displays — more room for graphics, product and storage.
- 20x20 island booths — open exhibits accessible from all four sides.
- Modular exhibits — aluminum-frame systems that reconfigure to different sizes.
- Portable displays — banner stands, pop-ups and lightweight kits for smaller shows.
- Booth components & equipment — counters, towers, lightboxes, flooring, AV, and hanging signs sold on their own.
How BoothFlip works
BoothFlip connects the people who have booths with the people who need them:
- Sellers list their booth with dimensions, photos, condition, crates and location.
- Buyers browse current listings, or submit their requirements so sellers and builders come to them.
- Companies request quotes and connect directly with sellers, builders and service providers.
- We help with the rest — BoothFlip also connects you with exhibit builders, EAC install crews, and booth rental options if buying used isn’t the right fit.
Selling a used trade show booth
Most companies end up storing a booth after a show — paying for warehouse space on an asset that isn’t earning anything. Listing it on BoothFlip turns that idle booth into buyer leads. Good listings sell faster, so include the details buyers actually ask about: overall size and configuration, the year it was built, current condition, whether it comes with crates, the state of the graphics (and whether they’re reusable or need reprinting), the booth’s location for shipping estimates, and any setup notes or missing parts. Clear photos from several angles make a big difference. List your used trade show display →
Buying checklist
Before you commit to a pre-owned booth, confirm the things that affect total cost and whether it will work at your show:
- Booth size & show rules — does it fit your space and the show’s height/line-of-sight limits?
- Condition & missing parts — inspect hardware, panels and connectors; ask what’s included.
- Graphics replacement — budget for reprinting if the graphics are dated or branded to the seller.
- Crate & shipping cost — crated booths ship more safely; factor freight from the booth’s location.
- Installation labor — plan EAC install & dismantle (I&D) for setup and teardown.
- Electrical, rigging & service costs — order power and hanging signs through the show’s service kit.
- Venue & union rules — labor jurisdictions vary by city; check before you plan a self-install.

How much does a used trade show booth cost?
Used trade show booths typically cost 50–70% less than an equivalent new custom build. Actual price depends on size (10x10 vs. 20x20 vs. island), materials, condition and how much refurbishment or reprinting you need. Request a quote for a specific booth to get real numbers — BoothFlip does not publish fixed prices.
Can I sell my used trade show display?
Yes. List your used trade show display on BoothFlip to reach exhibitors looking for pre-owned booths across the U.S. Add photos, size and condition, and connect directly with buyers.
What size booths are available?
Common sizes include 10x10 and 10x20 inline booths, 20x20 island exhibits, larger custom islands, and modular systems that reconfigure to different footprints. Filter listings by the size you need.
Can I use a used booth for CES, SEMA, NAB, or CONEXPO?
Yes. A pre-owned booth can be refurbished and rebranded for major shows — see CES, SEMA, NAB and CONEXPO booth options. Always confirm finished height, hanging-sign and (for SEMA/CONEXPO) floor-loading rules against that show’s official exhibitor manual.
What should I check before buying a used exhibit booth?
Verify the booth size against your space and the show’s display rules; inspect condition and any missing parts, hardware or crates; budget for new graphics; and add crate/shipping, install labor, and electrical/rigging/service costs. Ask for photos, the booth’s age, and setup notes before you commit.
Can BoothFlip help with booth shipping or installation?
BoothFlip connects you with EAC install & dismantle (I&D) crews and builders who can refurbish, ship and install a used booth for your show. Find an EAC contractor by city to handle logistics and setup.
