Used ride on toys in Dubai typically sell for AED 74 to AED 445 (about $20 to $120). Ride-on toys are outgrown fast, which means most are sold in genuinely good condition — and the battery, if it has one, is the fact that decides the price.
Selling ride on toys in Dubai
Dubai has one of the most transient populations of any major city, and that is the whole story for second-hand goods here. Expatriate residents arrive on fixed contracts and leave when they end, and a departing household typically sells everything it owns in the space of a fortnight rather than shipping it.
The city is built around the main highway spine and almost everything is collected by car, so which side of the city someone is on matters. Most residential towers and compounds require the buyer to be registered at the gate, so agree access before anyone sets off.
Ask when the seller is leaving the country. A departure date is the single most useful piece of information in this market, because it tells you how much room there is on price and how firm the deadline is.
Dubai has around 3.6 million people in Dubai, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Dubai
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
What ride on toys are worth
What lifts the price
- Working electrics and batteries on powered models
- Complete with chargers and accessories
What pulls it down
- Degraded batteries on powered ride-ons
- Cracked plastic bodies
Working out what yours is worth
- Charge it fully and test the run time
- Check the body for cracks around stress points
Getting it ready
- Charge any battery fully and time how long it runs. A tired battery is the standard fault and buyers expect the question.
- Find the charger. A powered ride-on without its charger loses a large share of its value, and generic ones are not always safe substitutes.
