Used pool tables in the UAE typically sell for AED 495 to AED 2,950 (about $135 to $810). Pool tables are extremely heavy and usually need dismantling, so the buyer is pricing the move as much as the table.

Selling a pool table in the UAE
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
The UAE has an unusually active second-hand market driven by how often people arrive and leave — relocation sales mean good-quality items turn over quickly and often at well below their age.
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.
Working out what yours is worth
- Roll a ball slowly across to check the level and cushion response
- Measure the access route out of the room
Getting it ready
- Measure the playing surface and the outside dimensions, and establish whether the bed is slate or MDF.
- Check the cloth for tears, burns and wear at the baulk end, and test every pocket.

Put in the description
- Playing surface size in feet, and external dimensions
- Slate or MDF bed, and approximate total weight
- Whether it dismantles, which floor it is on, and what accessories are included
Collection only, and this is the one category where you should be almost discouraging about it. State the weight, the floor, the stairs and how many people it needs, so the buyer arrives properly equipped.
Steady with a lift before Christmas. Slate tables sell to committed buyers year round; MDF tables sell cheaply and slowly.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 2,966 a buyer pays is the AED 2,966 you keep. You and the buyer settle up and arrange the handover between yourselves; WishThrift does not hold the money or ship the item.

Common questions
Where can I sell a pool table 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.
How many people to move it?
Answer honestly. A slate table needs four or more and the slates come out separately. Understating this ends in a failed collection.
What makes a pool table valuable?
A slate bed, above everything. Slate stays flat for decades; MDF beds warp and are worth much less.
Can a pool table be moved in one piece?
Slate tables generally cannot — the bed comes off in sections and each is very heavy. Buyers need to know this before they arrive.
