Used tennis rackets in Abu Dhabi typically sell for AED 74 to AED 545 (about $20 to $150). Rackets sell on head size, weight and grip, and the detail that decides it is whether the strings are still live or need replacing.
Selling a tennis racket 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.
Postings here run longer than Dubai’s, so turnover is slower and steadier. The end of the school year is still the peak, but the volume is lower and the items that appear have usually been looked after.
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.
