Used Polaroid cameras in Sharjah typically sell for AED 125 to AED 545 (about $34 to $150). Instant cameras are bought to be used, so the whole sale rests on one thing: proving it fires and that film is still made for it.
Selling a Polaroid camera in Sharjah
Sharjah is the most affordable of the northern emirates to live in and a large share of its residents commute into Dubai, which makes it a family and household market rather than a luxury one. Practical goods move here: white goods, children’s things and furniture that has to last.
Families move between the northern emirates far more often than they leave the country entirely, usually chasing rent, so goods here tend to circulate locally rather than being dumped by someone leaving for good.
The commute into Dubai shapes the day, so most handovers get arranged for evenings or the weekend rather than the middle of a working day. Collection by car is the norm and parking around the residential blocks is generally straightforward.
On white goods, check that the voltage and plug type match what you have and ask to see it running. Appliances change hands frequently here and a quick demonstration settles most questions.
Handing it over in Sharjah

What Polaroid cameras are worth
What lifts the price
- Working flash and functioning rollers
- Original strap, case and manual
What pulls it down
- Corroded battery contacts
- Dirty rollers causing streaked images
Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm which film format it takes and whether that film is still sold
- Shine a torch inside the bellows in a dark room to find leaks
Getting it ready
- Load a pack and take a shot. A camera that has not been tested is worth far less because most old instant cameras do not work.
- Clean the rollers inside the film door, which is what causes streaked and blotchy pictures.
Photograph
- An actual photograph it has taken, held next to the camera
- The film compartment with the rollers visible
Put in the description
- Whether that film is still manufactured
- Whether it has been tested, and with what result
Model and film type: “Polaroid 600 Instant Camera, Tested and Working” or “Instax Mini 9, Boxed”. The film format is the critical detail because it determines whether the camera is usable at all. The word tested belongs in the title when true — most listings cannot say 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.
