Used wallets in Ruwais typically sell for AED 14 to AED 120 (about $4 to $33). Wallets are small, cheap to post and sell mostly on brand and card capacity — and on whether the note section and card slots have stretched out of shape.
Selling a wallet 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.
Contract cycles govern everything here. People arrive furnished for a posting of a known length and sell up when it ends, so goods tend to be a few years old, well looked after and available in complete household sets rather than one item at a time.
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.

Where can I sell a wallet in Ruwais?

Does it still close flat?
Check and say. A wallet that has been overstuffed for years often will not, and buyers notice immediately.
