Sell Your Monitor in the UAE

Used monitors in the UAE typically sell for AED 200 to AED 1,100 (about $54 to $295). Monitors hold value reasonably well because panels last, and the range mostly reflects resolution and refresh rate rather than age.

Selling a monitor in the UAE

Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.

Domestic courier coverage is quick and cheap by international standards, and most of the population is within a short drive of everyone else.

The Emirates is a pre-launch market, so this is what a seller here should expect when it opens. The population turns over unusually fast, and that shapes the whole market: relocation sales put nearly-new furniture, appliances and cars on the market at heavy discounts, and the best stock appears in concentrated bursts as people leave. Distances are short and courier coverage is quick and cheap, so postage is rarely the obstacle it is elsewhere. Expect buyers to move fast and to expect a reply the same day.

Turnover peaks around the summer, when a large share of relocations happen and whole households are sold at once.

Fragile without the original box. Collection with the monitor powered on is the safer route for both sides.

Steady with lifts in September and before Christmas. Larger and higher-resolution panels sell fastest.

It costs nothing to list

There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 1,087 a buyer pays is the AED 1,087 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Where in the UAE

The United Arab Emirates is a big place and what sells well moves with it. These are the parts of the United Arab Emirates with their own page for monitors.

Common questions

Where can I sell a monitor in the UAE?

List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. There is no selling fee, so the whole amount stays with you. Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.

What inputs does it have?

List them. A buyer with a USB-C laptop or an older machine needs to know the ports before travelling.

Do computer monitors hold their value?

Better than most computer hardware, because panels last for years and specifications move slowly. High-refresh and high-resolution models hold best.

How do I check a monitor for dead pixels?

Display a full-screen solid black image, then a solid white one. Faults show clearly against both, and it takes under a minute.
