Used bomber jackets in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 99 to AED 445 (about $27 to $120). Bomber jackets are bought on fit through the shoulders and the state of the ribbing, because perished cuffs and hem are what make an old bomber look tired.
Selling a bomber jacket 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.
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.
Abu Dhabi has around 1.5 million people in Abu Dhabi, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Al Ain, Madinat Zayed and Ruwais are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What bomber jackets are worth
What lifts the price
- Recognised designer and heritage labels
- Working original zips
What pulls it down
- Broken or replaced zips
- High-street copies of military patterns
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the inner label for maker and any contract markings
- Stretch the cuffs and hem to test recovery
Getting it ready
- Test the main zip along its full length, since a two-way zip that has lost a tooth is a real deduction.
- Read the composition label: nylon, wool blend, leather and satin bombers are quite different products.

Light and easy to post, and folds small. A mailing bag is fine unless it is leather, which is worth boxing.
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.

What are the measurements?
Give pit-to-pit and length. Bombers are cut boxy and label sizes vary hugely between brands and eras.
