iPhones are the most popular second-hand electronics in the UAE. But pricing them wrong is the #1 reason listings sit unsold for weeks. Too high and buyers scroll past. Too low and you leave money on the table.
Here's how to price your used iPhone perfectly.
The Quick Formula
Used iPhone Price = Original Price × Condition Multiplier
| Condition | Multiplier | Description | ----------- | ----------- | ------------- | Like New | 0.70-0.80 | No scratches, battery health 90%+ | Good | 0.55-0.65 | Minor scratches, battery 80-90% | Fair | 0.40-0.50 | Visible wear, battery 70-80% | Poor | 0.25-0.35 | Cracked screen, low battery |

What Affects Price?
Storage size matters. 256GB models sell for AED 200-400 more than 128GB. 1TB models command a significant premium.
Color premium. Natural Titanium and Desert Titanium (Pro models) sell faster than basic colors.
Battery health is key. Buyers always ask. If your battery is below 80%, expect to knock off AED 200-300 from the price.
Box and accessories. Original box, charger, and unused accessories can add AED 100-200 to your price.
Warranty status. If your iPhone is still under Apple warranty or AppleCare, mention it prominently — it adds significant value.
How to List It
When posting on AhmedSells.ae, include:
- Model name and storage size
- Battery health percentage (Settings > Battery > Battery Health)
- Color
- Any damage or scratches
- What's included (box, charger, case, etc.)
- Original purchase date
- Reason for selling
Negotiation Tips
List your iPhone 10-15% above your minimum acceptable price. UAE buyers always negotiate — it's expected. If someone offers a fair price, take it. iPhones depreciate fast, and a quick sale today beats a higher price in two months.
