Used freezers in Dubai typically sell for AED 295 to AED 1,250 (about $81 to $335). A freezer sells on capacity, star rating and being demonstrably clean inside — and the one rule that must be passed on is that it should stand upright for hours before being switched on.
Selling a freezer 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.
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.
Ask when the seller is leaving the country. A departure date is the single most useful piece of information in this market, because it tells you how much room there is on price and how firm the deadline is.
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 freezers are worth
What lifts the price
- Chest freezers, which are efficient and in demand
- All baskets and drawers present
What pulls it down
- Heavy ice build-up on frost-free models, indicating a fault
- Perished seals
Working out what yours is worth
- Run it and confirm it reaches and holds temperature
- Check the seal and lid catch
Getting it ready
- Defrost it completely, dry it out and leave the door ajar so it does not develop a smell before collection.
- Run it for a day and confirm it holds temperature, so you can say honestly that it works.

Put in the description
- External width, height and depth in centimetres, and internal capacity in litres
- Type — chest, upright, under counter or integrated — and whether frost free
Steady all year with a lift in summer and around house moves. Under counter models in standard widths sell fastest; large chest freezers are slower but face little competition.
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.
