Used TV units in Dubai typically sell for AED 125 to AED 690 (about $34 to $190). TV units sell almost entirely on dimensions, because the buyer has a specific television and a specific alcove, and every question they ask is really about whether it fits.
Selling a TV unit 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.
Contract cycles drive everything. Departures cluster around the end of the school year, which is reliably when the most furniture and white goods come onto the market and when prices are softest for a buyer.
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.
Dubai has around 3.6 million people, 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 TV units are worth
What lifts the price
- Cable management ports already cut
- Sizes suited to common television widths
What pulls it down
- Sagging particleboard shelves
- Chipped edges and lifting veneer
Working out what yours is worth
- Sight along shelves for sag
- Measure the width and state the maximum TV size
Getting it ready
- Clear it out and clean the top, then check the cable routing holes at the back are intact.
- Tighten legs or castors and check the top for a sag if it has carried a heavy set for years.

Put in the description
- Width, depth and height in centimetres, and the usable top width between any raised edges
- Maximum TV size or weight it is designed for, if the label or manual states it
Steady, with a lift around major sporting events and Christmas when televisions get replaced. Wide units in neutral finishes sell within a couple of weeks.
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.

Where can I sell a TV unit 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.
Will my 55-inch TV fit on it?
Give the usable top width in centimetres and let them check their own stand footprint. Screen size in inches is diagonal and tells nobody how wide the feet sit.
