Used PS5s in Dubai typically sell for AED 1,100 to AED 1,900 (about $295 to $510). Console buyers care about completeness far more than cosmetics — a scuffed PS5 with both cables and a working controller sells faster than a pristine one missing the stand.
Selling a PS5 in Dubai
Dubai has one of the most transient populations of any major city, and that is the whole story for second-hand goods here. Expatriate residents arrive on fixed contracts and leave when they end, and a departing household typically sells everything it owns in the space of a fortnight rather than shipping it.
The city is built around the main highway spine and almost everything is collected by car, so which side of the city someone is on matters. Most residential towers and compounds require the buyer to be registered at the gate, so agree access before anyone sets off.
Ask when the seller is leaving the country. A departure date is the single most useful piece of information in this market, because it tells you how much room there is on price and how firm the deadline is.
Dubai has around 3.6 million people in Dubai, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Dubai
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
What PS5s are worth
What lifts the price
- Disc edition, which consistently sells for more than the digital version
- Any bundled games still in their cases
What pulls it down
- Missing HDMI or power cables, which buyers must replace immediately
- A noisy or dust-clogged fan, easily heard on a video call before sale
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the model number on the sticker underneath
- Count what you actually still have: controllers, cables, box, games
Getting it ready
- Gather everything: power cable, HDMI, base stand and screw, controller and its USB cable. Missing parts cost more in price than they do to replace.
- Note whether it is the Disc or Digital Edition, and blow the dust out of the vents.

Consistently strong, with a sharp lift from November into December. Bundles with extra controllers or popular games sell noticeably faster than bare consoles.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Common questions
Where can I sell a PS5 in Dubai?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city is built around the main highway spine and almost everything is collected by car, so which side of the city someone is on matters. Most residential towers and compounds require the buyer to be registered at the gate, so agree access before anyone sets off.
Does the controller have stick drift?
Test both sticks in a menu before listing and answer plainly. Drift is extremely common, cheap to disclose and expensive to hide.
