Used denim shorts in Sharjah typically sell for AED 40 to AED 150 (about $11 to $40). Denim shorts sell on rise and inseam, because those two numbers decide the whole look and almost no listing states either.
Selling denim shorts in Sharjah
Sharjah is the most affordable of the northern emirates to live in and a large share of its residents commute into Dubai, which makes it a family and household market rather than a luxury one. Practical goods move here: white goods, children’s things and furniture that has to last.
Families move between the northern emirates far more often than they leave the country entirely, usually chasing rent, so goods here tend to circulate locally rather than being dumped by someone leaving for good.
On white goods, check that the voltage and plug type match what you have and ask to see it running. Appliances change hands frequently here and a quick demonstration settles most questions.
Sharjah has around 1.8 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Kalba, Khor Fakkan and Dubai are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Brand, rise and size: “Levi’s 501 Denim Shorts, W28, High Rise, 3in Inseam”. Inseam in the title is unusual and immediately useful. Say whether the hem is original or cut off, since a home-cut hem is worth less.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell denim shorts in Sharjah?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. The commute into Dubai shapes the day, so most handovers get arranged for evenings or the weekend rather than the middle of a working day. Collection by car is the norm and parking around the residential blocks is generally straightforward.
Are they cut offs?
Look at the hem stitching. Home-cut shorts are perfectly sellable but worth less than an original hem, and buyers can tell.
