Used Xbox One consoles in Dubai typically sell for AED 345 to AED 740 (about $94 to $200). Xbox One consoles sell on the model and the storage, and the fastest way to lose a sale is handing over a console still signed into your account.
Selling a Xbox One 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.
Contract cycles drive everything. Departures cluster around the end of the school year, which is reliably when the most furniture and white goods come onto the market and when prices are softest for a buyer.
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.
Handing it over in Dubai
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.

Peaks from November to Christmas, with a second window in the fortnight after. Values step down whenever newer hardware drops in price, so there is rarely any benefit in waiting.
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.
