Used monitors in Dubai typically sell for AED 200 to AED 1,100 (about $54 to $295). Monitors sell on size, resolution and panel condition, and the only way to prove the panel is clean is to photograph it displaying solid colours.
Selling a monitor 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.
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.
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.
