Make it fair. Make it competitive. Make it sell.

Selling your used phone, tablet, or laptop online can be a great way to earn extra cash, but pricing it right? That’s where most people get stuck.

Too high, and no one shows interest.
Too low, and you miss out on value.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to setting a fair, smart price for your used electronics in Saudi Arabia, without guessing and without underestimating what your device is really worth.

Step 1: Know Your Exact Model and Specs

Before pricing anything, you need to know exactly what you're selling.

Check:

• Brand and model (e.g., iPhone, Galaxy, etc.)

• Storage size (e.g., 128GB, 256GB)

• Year of release.

• Color (some colors are more in demand than others)

• If it's Wi-Fi only or cellular-enabled (for tablets)
   

Step 2: Be Honest About the Condition

The condition of your device is one of the biggest factors in its value.

Ask yourself:

• Does the screen have scratches or cracks?

• Are there dents, scuffs, or signs of wear?

• Is the battery still strong and reliable?

• Are all functions working properly (camera, fingerprint sensor, buttons, etc.)?

Step 3: Include or Exclude Accessories

Having the original box, charger, or even a case can add appeal and justify a slightly higher price — but not having them isn’t a dealbreaker.

Think about:

• Original charger.

• Earphones (if unused)

• Device box.

• Screen protector or case.

• Receipt or warranty (if available)
   

Step 4: Research Market Value

Once you know your device’s model and condition, check how similar devices are priced in the local market.

Look at:

• Online marketplaces.

• Tech resale platforms.

• Listings in your area.

Pay attention to:

• How long listings have been active (items that sit too long might be overpriced)

• Which devices sell quickly (this means they’re likely priced right)
   

 

Step 5: Decide If You're Willing to Negotiate

It’s very common for buyers to negotiate, especially in online platforms and marketplaces.

Set a price that gives you some room to move, but still protects your bottom line.

Think of:

• Your “ideal price” (what you hope to get)

• Your “minimum price” (what you won’t go below)
   

Step 6: Highlight the Value in Your Listing

Once you’ve chosen a fair price, your job is to justify it through a clear, honest description.

Include:

• Key features.

• Why you’re selling.

• Any recent maintenance or care.

• Accessories included.

• Condition of the battery, screen, and buttons.
   

The more confident and professional your listing looks, the easier it is for buyers to accept your price.

Final Thoughts, setting the right price for your used device isn’t about guessing, it’s about understanding the market, knowing your device’s real condition, and presenting it with clarity.

When you price it smart, you sell it fast, and fairly.

And remember: in Saudi Arabia’s growing secondhand market, honesty + a strong listing = real results.
