Used tool sets in Ruwais typically sell for AED 99 to AED 740 (about $27 to $200). Tool sets sell on completeness, so count everything against the case moulding before listing — a set with obvious gaps is worth far less than one you can show is complete.
Selling a tool set in Ruwais
Ruwais is a purpose-built industrial city on the western coast, laid out around one of the largest refining complexes in the world and the housing that serves it. Almost everything in the town exists because of that complex, which makes the population unusually uniform in how long people stay and what they own.
The town is planned and compact, so meeting up is simple once you have agreed which part of it. Company housing often has its own access arrangements, so check whether a visitor can drive in before you fix a time for a collection.
Confirm whether you can actually drive in to collect. A good deal of the housing here has managed access, and arranging that in advance is the difference between a ten-minute pickup and a wasted trip.
Ruwais, in Abu Dhabi, has around 25,000 people, which means a small local market, which makes the nearby towns part of your audience rather than an afterthought. Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Madinat Zayed are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Ruwais
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.

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.
