Second-hand kitchen & appliances in Abu Dhabi typically sells for AED 40 to AED 1,750 (about $11 to $470). Age and whether it is currently working set almost the entire price. Anything under a few years old and in service is worth many times the same model sold as spares or repairs.
Buying kitchen & appliances 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.
Large kitchen appliances are the clearest case for buying locally: they are heavy, expensive to ship and easy to check when they are plugged in. A working machine collected for a fraction of its retail price is one of the better deals in second hand.
What to check in person
Listen to it running rather than only watching it start, because worn bearings and a failing pump both announce themselves loudly under load. Feel whether the cabinet rocks, and check the flex and plug along their whole length for scorching.
Collecting it in Abu Dhabi
It needs a van and realistically two people. Ask about the stairs, the doorway and the parking at the seller’s end before you set off, because that is the detail that decides whether the trip was worth making.
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.

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.
Defrost and drain it fully the day before, or a buyer arrives to a machine that cannot be moved without soaking their vehicle. Keep the manual, the shelves and any fittings together, and be straight about which functions have stopped working. Turns over steadily, with a clear lift through the summer moving season.
Bank transfer and cash on collection are both normal. Confirm funds have cleared before handing anything over.
