Used model kits in Ghayathi typically sell for AED 40 to AED 395 (about $11 to $110). Model kits are worth what their completeness says they are worth, and the crucial distinction is one word: sealed, started, or built.
Selling model kits in Ghayathi
Ghayathi is a desert town in the Al Dhafra region, built around the workforce that services the oil and gas fields and the farms out this way. It is remote by any measure, and that shapes the market: things get bought to last, repaired rather than replaced, and sold on when someone leaves rather than when something newer appears.
Fixed-term work drives the supply almost entirely. Households are assembled at the start of a contract and broken up at the end of it, so goods come onto the market in batches rather than singly.
Everything happens by car and the town is small, so a landmark on the main road is enough to arrange a meet. Anyone driving out from Abu Dhabi should treat the journey as the main cost of the item and factor it in before agreeing the price.
Check for fine dust in vents, fans and filters on anything electrical. It gets everywhere out here, and a machine that has been running in it for a year needs cleaning before you judge how it performs.

Have any parts been removed from the sprue?
Check each sprue and say. A started kit still sells well to modellers who wanted a spares donor — but only when it is described as started.
