Used parkas in Dubai typically sell for AED 125 to AED 595 (about $34 to $160). Parkas are bought for genuine cold, so the details that sell yours are the fill, whether the hood fur is real or faux, and whether it is actually waterproof.
Selling a parka 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.
What parkas are worth
What lifts the price
- Fur or faux-fur trim present and intact
- Recognised outdoor and heritage brands
What pulls it down
- Missing or matted trim, which is costly to replace
- Clumped or migrated fill
Working out what yours is worth
- Work the zip from both ends
- Shake it out and check the fill lofts evenly
Getting it ready
- Read the label for the fill: down, feather or synthetic wadding, and the outer fabric.
- Test whether water still beads on the outer, and say honestly if the coating has washed off.
Photograph
- Full length on a hanger, zipped, hood up
- The inner composition label
Put in the description
- Fill type and, for down, the fill power or down percentage
- Whether the hood and fur trim detach, and whether the fur is real or faux
A short window from October to January, and prices drop sharply after. Storing until autumn is worth real money if you have missed it.
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 a parka in Dubai?
List it free on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. 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.
Is the fur real?
Check the base of the trim: real fur grows from skin, synthetic is stitched into a backing. Photograph it and say which.
