Used cross trainers in the UAE typically sell for AED 345 to AED 1,750 (about $94 to $470). Cross trainers are bulky and heavily supplied, so smooth running and ease of moving decide whether one sells.

Selling a cross trainer in the UAE
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
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.
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.
Turnover peaks around the summer, when a large share of relocations happen and whole households are sold at once.
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the console powers up and reads
- Work out how far it dismantles
Getting it ready
- Use it for a few minutes and listen for bearing noise or a squeaking pedal arm, which is the usual fault.
- Measure the assembled footprint and height, and weigh it or find the figure in the manual.

Put in the description
- Brand, model, and resistance type
- Stride length, and maximum user weight
- Which floor it is on, and whether it dismantles
Collection only, and access is the whole negotiation. State the floor, the stairs and whether you can help lift. Being honest loses you some enquiries and saves many wasted appointments.
January dominates, with a smaller autumn lift. A cross trainer listed in June sells slowly and for noticeably less, so holding until the new year is usually worth it.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 1,730 a buyer pays is the AED 1,730 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a cross trainer in the UAE?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
Does it squeak?
Use it for five minutes and listen. Squeaking pedal arms are the classic fault and the buyer will hear it immediately.
Are cross trainers worth much second hand?
Prices are low because supply is high and moving them is difficult. Smooth running and a working console are what sell one.
What is the most common fault?
Worn bearings, heard as grinding or knocking through the stride. Use it for a few minutes and listen.
