Used TVs in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 295 to AED 2,000 (about $81 to $540). Televisions are sold on screen condition and panel type, and the one thing every buyer fears is a cracked or blemished panel they cannot see in a photograph of a switched-off screen.
Selling a TV in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the capital and its economy is built around government and energy, which means longer postings and more settled households than Dubai. Things are kept for longer and sold in better condition, and the market skews towards quality furniture rather than quick disposals.
Postings here run longer than Dubai’s, so turnover is slower and steadier. The end of the school year is still the peak, but the volume is lower and the items that appear have usually been looked after.
Most of the city sits on an island connected by a handful of bridges, so crossing to the mainland suburbs is a real trip rather than a short hop. Compounds and towers usually need visitor access arranged in advance.
Ask how long the seller has owned the item. Postings here run longer than in Dubai, so goods are typically better used but also better looked after, and the ownership history tells you which you are getting.
Handing it over in Abu Dhabi
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.
What TVs are worth
What lifts the price
- A screen with no burn-in, dead pixels or backlight banding
- A smart platform still receiving app updates
What pulls it down
- Dead backlight zones showing as dark patches
- Older smart platforms where apps no longer install
Working out what yours is worth
- Display a plain white and a plain grey full-screen image to reveal panel faults
- Confirm the remote, stand and power lead are all present
Getting it ready
- Find the exact model number on the rear sticker and note the screen size and resolution.
- Locate the stand, feet, screws and remote. A television missing its stand or remote loses more value than the parts cost to replace.
Photograph
- Screen on, displaying a normal image, photographed straight on with the room lights off
- The full television including stand or feet as it will be handed over
Put in the description
- Screen size in inches and resolution, and the exact model number
- Whether the stand, feet, screws and remote are all included
Effectively a collection-only item: televisions are fragile, awkward and expensive to post, and courier damage claims on screens rarely succeed. Let the buyer see it powered on before they take it, which suits both of you.
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 in Abu Dhabi?
Put it on WishThrift free and deal with the buyer direct. Most of the city sits on an island connected by a handful of bridges, so crossing to the mainland suburbs is a real trip rather than a short hop. Compounds and towers usually need visitor access arranged in advance.
Is the stand included?
Check you have the feet and the correct screws. Say plainly if it is wall-mount only, because that changes what the buyer needs to arrange.
