Used PS5s in the UAE typically sell for AED 1,100 to AED 1,900 (about $295 to $510). The console market moves in a narrow band, so most of the spread is about which revision you have and how complete the package is.

Selling a PS5 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.
Working out what yours is worth
- Count what you actually still have: controllers, cables, box, games
- Compare against sold listings for the same edition and revision
Getting it ready
- Gather everything: power cable, HDMI, base stand and screw, controller and its USB cable. Missing parts cost more in price than they do to replace.
- Factory reset the console and deactivate it as your primary PS5, so the buyer can sign in with their own account.

- The rear ports and the model sticker
- The controller’s thumbsticks close up, since drift is the first thing buyers ask about
Put in the description
- Disc Edition or Digital Edition, and the model revision if you know it
- Exactly what is included: stand, screw, power cable, HDMI, controllers, games
- Whether the console has been opened, repaired or re-pasted
Heavy and awkward but postable if well boxed — the original box is ideal if you kept it. Local collection lets the buyer see it boot and test the controller, which removes most disputes on a console sale.
Consistently strong, with a sharp lift from November into December. Bundles with extra controllers or popular games sell noticeably faster than bare consoles.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 1,878 a buyer pays is the AED 1,878 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 PS5 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.
Is the stand included?
Check you have the base and the small screw. It is a tiny part that buyers specifically ask about because replacements are awkward to source.
Is a used PS5 worth buying or selling?
Both markets are active. Prices stay in a fairly tight band because supply is steady, so a complete, working console sells quickly at a fair price.
Does the disc edition sell for more than digital?
Yes, reliably — buyers value being able to buy and resell physical games, and it is one of the few clear price differences on this console.
