It is one place to see pre-owned trade show booths, exhibits and components that independent resale partners already have for sale — 100 listings right now, from ExhibitTrader and UsedBooths.com.

Every listing links straight through to the partner holding it.

The partner named on the listing card. Clicking a listing takes you to that seller’s own page, and the price, condition, inspection, payment and freight are all arranged with them directly.

Across the listings on this page right now, asking prices run from $100 to $50,000. That spread covers everything from a single component or counter to a full island exhibit, and each card shows the price the seller set.

What you actually pay also depends on freight from the booth’s current location, new graphics, and installation — a used booth is rarely just its sticker price.

Standard inline and island footprints. 10' × 10', 10' × 20' and 20' × 20' are consistently the deepest inventory, with 20' × 30' and larger islands appearing regularly — up to 50' × 60'.

There are also components, counters and podiums listed, for filling a gap rather than buying a whole booth. Use the size filter to narrow the list.

Listings come from across the United States, and every card shows the city and state.

It matters more than people expect. A used booth is normally crated and freighted from wherever it is sitting now, so distance is often the largest cost after the booth itself. Filter by location if the freight budget is tight.

Every card carries a “Last checked” date. AOSA re-checks partner listings three times a week and drops anything marked sold.

Because the inventory belongs to the partners, confirm availability and price on their site before you commit.

It varies, and it is described by the seller rather than by AOSA. Neither partner publishes a standard inspection or refurbishment grade.

Every card here shows the year the seller says they bought it new, which is the most reliable signal available — the “Bought new” filter groups the listings by it. Treat the photos and description as a starting point, then ask the seller directly about wear, missing or damaged parts, whether crates are included, and whether the original setup instructions come with it.

Assume not. The panels carry the previous owner’s brand, so sellers normally strip them or leave them out of the price. Budget a fresh set from the start — it is the single biggest cost after the booth itself.

Before ordering anything, get the exact panel dimensions from the seller. UsedBooths.com advises standing the booth up and measuring the panels before printing, because frame sizes differ between manufacturers.

Published 2026 ranges for a full graphic package: roughly $500–$1,500 for a 10' × 10', $1,500–$4,000 for a 10' × 20', and $4,000–$10,000 for a 20' × 20' island. Having them professionally fitted roughly doubles each of those (Focus Graphics).

UsedBooths.com quotes rebranding at $10–$11 per square foot of printed panel, which lands in the same place — a 200 sq ft back wall works out around $2,100.

Artwork is separate: about $500–$2,000 to adapt files you already have, $2,000–$5,000 for a concept from scratch.

Less than people expect. An exhibit that has been out for three to five seasons typically needs $3,000–$8,000 to recondition — component replacement and refurbishment — with individual parts running from about $50 for a connector to $500 or more for a complete extrusion section (Pur Exhibits).

A lot of what looks like damage is not. Loose fasteners, creased fabric, a wobbling counter and slack SEG graphics are a hex key, a steamer and an afternoon. Structural cracks, bent load-bearing members and damaged wiring are the ones worth paying a professional for.

Add a new set of graphics to that figure and you have your real number. On a booth listed here at $5,000, a full refit and reprint still lands well under the cost of building the same footprint new.

The frame is the part that lasts. Published useful lives: 5–8 years for structural frames, 3–5 for LED lighting, 2–3 for tension fabric covers and 1–2 for backlit film (Pur Exhibits).

So a four-year-old aluminum frame usually has years left in it while its soft parts probably do not. Price the fabric and the lighting in; do not write the frame off. The year on each card tells you which side of that line a booth sits on.

Used exhibits commonly sell 50–75% below their original cost, with most landing between $3,000 and $7,000 (Giant Printing). New, a custom 10' × 10' runs $10,000–$30,000 and up, and a 20' × 20' island $30,000–$100,000 and up (Modular Exhibits).

Every card here also shows what the seller says the booth cost new, next to what they are asking for it now, so you can judge each one for yourself. Those are the seller’s figures and AOSA has not verified them.

The sharper comparison is renting: a rental booth costs $7,000–$15,000 per show. A used island plus a full new graphic package often comes in under a single year of renting — and you still own it afterwards.

Considerably. A custom build runs about 3–5 weeks for a basic 10' × 10', 6–8 weeks for a 10' × 20' and 8–12 weeks for a 20' × 20' island — and that clock starts at design approval, not at your first phone call (Pur Exhibits).

A used booth already exists, so graphics are the only thing left to produce. Leave time for them: rush reprints run two to four times the standard rate, turning a $400 back wall into $800–$1,600 for same-day.

You do, and it is arranged with the seller, not with AOSA. A used booth is crated and freighted from wherever it is sitting now, so the number depends on the distance, the crate count and whether it needs a liftgate or an appointment delivery — which is why no honest figure can be quoted here.

Two things move it a lot. Ask whether the crates or shipping cases are included in the price, because buying replacements is expensive and a booth with no cases ships badly. And use the location filter: freight is often the second largest number after the booth itself, so a booth two states away can beat a cheaper one on the far coast.

If the booth is going straight to a show, ask about drayage too — the fee the venue charges to move your crates from the dock to your space. It is billed separately from freight and catches first-time buyers out.

Not from AOSA. AOSA does not own, inspect, store or sell these booths — the marketplace lists what independent partners already have — so any warranty, return window or guarantee is whatever that seller offers, and it is worth asking before you pay.

Get the condition in writing, ask for photographs of the booth standing rather than crated, and ask what happens if something arrives missing or damaged. Sellers who refurbish before resale sometimes warrant their own work; that is a question for them.

What AOSA can help with afterwards is the printing, replacement parts and repair — that is ReFrame Restock & Repair.

Cost, speed and carbon. A booth that already exists has had its materials, its manufacturing and its freight to the first show already spent; reusing it avoids repeating any of that. It is also weeks faster, because the only thing left to produce is the graphics.

The trade-off is real: you take the structure as it was built, arrange your own graphics and freight, and live with the configuration the previous owner ordered.

AOSA builds new. The ReFrame modular system starts at $395, sets up in about 30 minutes by hand, and is designed so the frame outlives the graphics. Ground-up custom builds typically run 3–6 weeks.

No. Those booths were built by many different manufacturers from materials AOSA can’t verify, so there is no honest way to put a number on them. AOSA’s carbon figures cover only what AOSA makes — ReFrame — and every one is explained in the ReFrame FAQ.

What reuse does guarantee is that the materials and manufacturing behind a booth that already exists are not repeated.

Every ReFrame product page shows its carbon footprint line by line, with an order calculator and a printable ESG report. The method, every emission factor, where the wood and Falcon Board come from, and the source documents are all in the ReFrame FAQ.
