Used mom jeans in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 59 to AED 245 (about $16 to $67). Mom jeans are bought for the rise and the fit through the hip, so the two numbers that sell them are the measured waist and the rise — not the label size.
Selling mom jeans in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the capital and its economy is built around government and energy, which means longer postings and more settled households than Dubai. Things are kept for longer and sold in better condition, and the market skews towards quality furniture rather than quick disposals.
Postings here run longer than Dubai’s, so turnover is slower and steadier. The end of the school year is still the peak, but the volume is lower and the items that appear have usually been looked after.
Ask how long the seller has owned the item. Postings here run longer than in Dubai, so goods are typically better used but also better looked after, and the ownership history tells you which you are getting.
Abu Dhabi has around 1.5 million people in Abu Dhabi, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Al Ain, Madinat Zayed and Ruwais are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Common questions
Where can I sell mom jeans in Abu Dhabi?

Are they rigid or stretchy?
Read the composition label. Even a small elastane percentage changes the fit noticeably and buyers care.
