Used cricket bats in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 99 to AED 740 (about $27 to $200). Cricket bats sell on willow grade and whether the bat has been knocked in, and buyers want to see the face, the edges and the toe.
Selling a cricket bat 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.
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.
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.

Long and awkward to post, so expect a length surcharge. Wrap the toe and edges well — that is where transit damage lands.
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.
