Used PS5s in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 1,100 to AED 1,900 (about $295 to $510). Console buyers care about completeness far more than cosmetics — a scuffed PS5 with both cables and a working controller sells faster than a pristine one missing the stand.
Selling a PS5 in Abu Dhabi
Abu Dhabi is the capital and its economy is built around government and energy, which means longer postings and more settled households than Dubai. Things are kept for longer and sold in better condition, and the market skews towards quality furniture rather than quick disposals.
Most of the city sits on an island connected by a handful of bridges, so crossing to the mainland suburbs is a real trip rather than a short hop. Compounds and towers usually need visitor access arranged in advance.
Ask how long the seller has owned the item. Postings here run longer than in Dubai, so goods are typically better used but also better looked after, and the ownership history tells you which you are getting.
Abu Dhabi has around 1.5 million people in Abu Dhabi, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Al Ain, Madinat Zayed and Ruwais are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

Trading is not open in the Emirates yet, so treat this as a reference page: the pricing and the checks below hold, but the listings will appear once sellers here start posting.
What PS5s are worth
What lifts the price
- Disc edition, which consistently sells for more than the digital version
- Any bundled games still in their cases
What pulls it down
- A noisy or dust-clogged fan, easily heard on a video call before sale
- Visible discolouration on the white panels
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the model number on the sticker underneath
- Count what you actually still have: controllers, cables, box, games
Getting it ready
- Factory reset the console and deactivate it as your primary PS5, so the buyer can sign in with their own account.
- Note whether it is the Disc or Digital Edition, and blow the dust out of the vents.

Put in the description
- Disc Edition or Digital Edition, and the model revision if you know it
- Whether the controller has any stick drift
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.
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.
