Used smart speakers in the UAE typically sell for AED 99 to AED 445 (about $27 to $120). Smart speakers depend entirely on continued cloud support, which means an unsupported model is close to worthless.

Selling a smart speaker 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
- Factory reset it and unlink your account
- Check you have the correct power supply
Getting it ready
- Identify the exact model and generation, which is usually on the base.
- Deregister the device from your account and factory reset it.

Put in the description
- Brand, model and generation
- Whether the original power adapter is included
- Speaker and microphone condition, and whether it has been deregistered
Light and cheap to post. Include the correct adapter and photograph what goes in the parcel.
Strong Christmas lift, otherwise steady. These sell quickly at low prices because they are cheap new.
It costs nothing to list
There is no listing fee, no selling fee and no commission, so the AED 445 a buyer pays is the AED 445 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 smart speaker 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 original adapter included?
Check the wattage. Many smart speakers need a specific adapter and will not run properly on a generic one.
Do smart speakers hold value?
Poorly. They depend on cloud services, and once the maker withdraws support the device becomes close to unusable.
Why does the power supply matter?
Most use proprietary voltages, so a speaker without its original supply is difficult for a buyer to power.
