Used kids clothes in Dubai typically sell for AED 25 to AED 125 (about $7 to $34). Children’s clothes sell in bundles, not singly, so group by age and gender and price the lot — a single used t-shirt is not worth either party’s time.
Selling kids clothes 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.

Getting it ready

Put in the description
- Age band and gender, and the exact number of items
- A list of what the bundle contains by type
Seasonal by nature — sell summer bundles in spring and winter bundles in early autumn. Bundles priced sensibly sell within days; individual items rarely sell at all.
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.

What exactly is in the bundle?
List it by item type and count. Parents are working out whether it covers a season and a vague description invites low offers.
