Used fridge freezers in the UAE typically sell for AED 445 to AED 1,750 (about $120 to $470). Large fridge freezers are heavy, awkward and cheap to buy new at the budget end, so condition and access do most of the pricing.

Selling a fridge freezer 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
- Close the door on a sheet of paper and check the seal grips it
- Count the shelves, drawers and door bins against the manual
Getting it ready
- Run it for a day and check both compartments reach temperature, and listen for compressor cycling rather than constant running.
- Measure the height, width and depth, and note the fridge and freezer capacities separately.
Photograph
- Both compartments open, clean and empty
- The model and rating label inside the fridge door
- The door seals and any dent, rust or shelf damage
Put in the description
- Total and split capacity in litres, and the fridge to freezer ratio
- External height, width and depth in centimetres
- Freestanding or integrated, and whether all shelves and drawers are present
Collection only. Defrost and dry it fully beforehand, and tell the buyer it must stand upright for several hours before being switched on — that advice prevents a ruined compressor and a complaint.
Steady all year, with a lift in summer and around moving season. Working appliances are often distress purchases and sell quickly.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 1,730 a buyer pays is the AED 1,730 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 fridge freezer 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 it frost free?
Check the label and say. It is a meaningful feature and a real price difference.
Is a used fridge freezer worth selling?
Yes if it runs properly, though the sums are modest. Buyers care most about seals, temperature and whether all the shelves are there.
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, which lets warm air in and drives up running costs.
