Used circular saws in the UAE typically sell for AED 150 to AED 890 (about $40 to $240). Saws are judged on the base plate and guard, because a bent plate makes accurate cutting impossible.

Selling a circular saw in the UAE
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
The UAE has an unusually active second-hand market driven by how often people arrive and leave — relocation sales mean good-quality items turn over quickly and often at well below their age.
Domestic courier coverage is quick and cheap by international standards, and most of the population is within a short drive of everyone else.
Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.
Working out what yours is worth
- Retract the guard and confirm it snaps back
- Check for play at the blade arbor
Getting it ready
- Test the lower guard repeatedly. If it sticks open, the saw is unsafe and must not be sold as working.
- Check the cable for nicks along its whole length, and the plug for damage.

Put in the description
- Brand, model, blade diameter and maximum cut depth
- Corded wattage, or battery platform and voltage for cordless
- Guard function, cable condition and any fault
Heavy and awkward. Remove the blade or ensure the guard is secured for transport, and box it properly — an exposed blade in a parcel is dangerous to whoever handles it.
Lifts in spring as projects start and before Christmas. Trade brands sell within days; unbranded tools compete on price alone.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 890 a buyer pays is the AED 890 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a circular saw in the UAE?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
Is a battery included?
For cordless, say clearly and name the platform. Body-only tools are worth far less and buyers filter for the distinction.
What should I check on a used circular saw?
The base plate and the guard. A bent plate makes square cuts impossible, and a sticking guard is a serious safety issue.
Does a missing rip fence matter?
It reduces usefulness and is model-specific, so it lowers the price, though the saw is still usable.
