Used dolls houses in Dubai typically sell for AED 99 to AED 595 (about $27 to $160). A dolls house is bought for the structure and sold on the contents — whether furniture and figures are included changes both the price and the audience entirely.
Selling a dolls house in Dubai
Dubai has one of the most transient populations of any major city, and that is the whole story for second-hand goods here. Expatriate residents arrive on fixed contracts and leave when they end, and a departing household typically sells everything it owns in the space of a fortnight rather than shipping it.
Contract cycles drive everything. Departures cluster around the end of the school year, which is reliably when the most furniture and white goods come onto the market and when prices are softest for a buyer.
The city is built around the main highway spine and almost everything is collected by car, so which side of the city someone is on matters. Most residential towers and compounds require the buyer to be registered at the gate, so agree access before anyone sets off.
Dubai has around 3.6 million people in Dubai, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Dubai
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
What dolls houses are worth
What lifts the price
- Furnished houses sold complete with contents
- Recognised makers and kit brands
What pulls it down
- Damaged roofs and detached facades
- Missing furniture on houses sold as furnished
Working out what yours is worth
- Photograph every room and the exterior
- Test any lighting and note whether it works
Getting it ready
- Check the structure for loose joints and a warped base, which is the common fault on older wooden houses.
- Sort the furniture by room and count it, then decide whether you are selling the house with or without it.
Photograph
- The house from the front, closed, whole and upright
- The house open, showing every room and any furniture in place
Put in the description
- Height, width and depth in centimetres, and the scale if known
- Number of rooms, and whether it opens at the front, back or both
Strongly seasonal, peaking from October to Christmas. A furnished wooden house listed in November sells quickly; the same house in March can sit for a month.
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.

Is the furniture included?
State it in the title as well as the description. It is the single most misunderstood point on these listings, and it changes the price by a wide margin.
