Used purses in Sharjah typically sell for AED 40 to AED 270 (about $11 to $74). Purses sell on the clasp and the lining — a clasp that no longer snaps shut is the fault buyers care about, and it is worth checking before you write a word.
Selling a purse 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.
Sharjah has around 1.8 million people in Sharjah, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Kalba, Khor Fakkan and Dubai are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Sharjah

Brand, material and type: “Leather Purse with Coin Section, Navy” or “Zip Around Purse, 12 Card Slots”. Say whether it has a separate coin compartment — it is one of the main reasons people choose a particular purse and it is rarely mentioned.
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.
