Used cabin bags in Ras Al Khaimah typically sell for AED 35 to AED 170 (about $10 to $46). Cabin bags live or die on exact external dimensions, because airline limits differ and a bag that fits one carrier is refused at the gate by another.
Selling a cabin bag in Ras Al Khaimah
Industrial contracts and school terms drive the turnover here. Workers arrive on fixed postings and leave when they end, and a household leaving the country sells the entire contents of a flat in a fortnight rather than trickling items out over a year.
Almost everything here happens by car — the emirate is spread along the coast and out towards the mountains, and there is no metro to meet at. Agree a landmark on the main road rather than a street address, and for anything large confirm the building has lift access before either of you commits to a time.
On anything that lived on a balcony or in an unshaded car park, check the plastics and the seals. The sun here does more damage in two summers than years of ordinary use, and it shows first on the parts nobody photographs.
Ras Al Khaimah has around 350,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Ras Al Khaimah
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. Around Al Nakheel, Al Hamra and Al Rams are where this sort of thing tends to change hands.

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.
