Used knee high boots in Dubai typically sell for AED 125 to AED 545 (about $34 to $150). Knee high boots have one measurement that decides everything and is almost never given: the calf circumference. State it and you will outsell every listing that does not.
Selling knee high boots 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.
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.
Handing it over in Dubai
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.

Autumn and early winter carry this category almost entirely. Listed in September or October a good pair sells quickly; the same boots in April will barely be seen.
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.
