Used knitwear in Ruwais typically sells for AED 17 to AED 88 (about $5 to $24). Knitwear bundles and mixed lots sell on fibre content, so sort by material first — a single cashmere piece is worth more listed alone than the rest of the bundle together.
Selling knitwear in Ruwais
Ruwais is a purpose-built industrial city on the western coast, laid out around one of the largest refining complexes in the world and the housing that serves it. Almost everything in the town exists because of that complex, which makes the population unusually uniform in how long people stay and what they own.
Contract cycles govern everything here. People arrive furnished for a posting of a known length and sell up when it ends, so goods tend to be a few years old, well looked after and available in complete household sets rather than one item at a time.
Confirm whether you can actually drive in to collect. A good deal of the housing here has managed access, and arranging that in advance is the difference between a ten-minute pickup and a wasted trip.
Ruwais, in Abu Dhabi, has around 25,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Madinat Zayed are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Ruwais
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.

Fibre, count and size: “Wool Knitwear Bundle, 5 Pieces, Size M, All Natural Fibre”. Saying all natural fibre is a genuine differentiator in a bundle listing. Keep bundles to a single size — mixed sizes are much less useful to any one buyer.
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 knitwear in Ruwais?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The town is planned and compact, so meeting up is simple once you have agreed which part of it. Company housing often has its own access arrangements, so check whether a visitor can drive in before you fix a time for a collection.
Any moth damage?
Check every piece against a window and disclose everything. Moths move between garments, so buyers ask about the bundle as a whole.
