Sell Your Fridge in the UAE

Used fridges in the UAE typically sell for AED 295 to AED 1,250 (about $81 to $335). Standalone fridges are cheap new at the budget end, so buyers price on remaining life and how easily it can be collected.

Selling a fridge in the UAE

Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.

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.

The Emirates is a pre-launch market, so this is what a seller here should expect when it opens. The population turns over unusually fast, and that shapes the whole market: relocation sales put nearly-new furniture, appliances and cars on the market at heavy discounts, and the best stock appears in concentrated bursts as people leave. Distances are short and courier coverage is quick and cheap, so postage is rarely the obstacle it is elsewhere. Expect buyers to move fast and to expect a reply the same day.

Turnover peaks around the summer, when a large share of relocations happen and whole households are sold at once.

Working out what yours is worth

Test the seal by closing the door on paper
Count the shelves and drawers

Getting it ready

Run it and confirm it holds temperature, with the compressor cycling rather than running constantly.
Measure height, width and depth, and note whether it is under-counter, full height or integrated.

Put in the description

Height, width and depth in centimetres
Capacity in litres, and whether it has an ice box
Energy rating and approximate age

Collection only. Defrost, dry and empty it first, and pass on the advice to stand it upright for a few hours before switching on.

Steady year round with a lift in summer and at moving times. Under-counter models sell fastest because they suit flats and rentals.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 1,236 a buyer pays is the AED 1,236 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

The United Arab Emirates is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of the United Arab Emirates with their own page for fridges.

Common questions

Where can I sell a fridge 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.

Does it have an ice box?

Say clearly. Some buyers specifically want one and others specifically do not.

Is a used fridge worth selling?

Yes if it runs properly, though the sums are modest. Seals, temperature and complete shelving are what buyers check.

How do I test the door seal?

Close the door on a sheet of paper and pull. If it slides out easily the seal has perished.
