Your old PC is obsolete and not working very well? Don’t worry, because as long as it works, you’ll almost certainly be able to sell it if you have a little patience and put an acceptable price on it. The fact that it works normally (even if it is slow) is important, because damaged hardware has a much more complicated exit on the second-hand market compared to fully functional parts.
Where to sell your computer online
Before you start selling your old computer, we recommend that you make sure that you have eliminated all your personal data that you may have (in fact the safest thing is to destroy the hard drive and resell it without it, or even to buy a new one or used to replace yours, but that’s up to you), as well as getting an appraisal of what would be a fair price to sell it. If you make it too expensive, nobody will care, but if you sell it too cheap, you will lose money.
That said, let’s see where you can safely sell your old computer, starting with online sites.
wallapop
It is surely the most used platform for selling second-hand items in Europe. It provides a good showcase in which, despite the fact that hand sales prevail (for this reason, the catalog is usually ordered remotely from the seller), although they also have the shipping system own to the application. You can upload your product directly from your mobile, although it also works perfectly from the web browser on PC (although you must have the photos on your PC to do this, from mobile you have the advantage of being able to take the pictures at the moment).
A personal advice that we give you if you intend to sell your old PC on Wallapop is to increase the price a little, because on this platform they will always, always try to haggle the price.
eBay
It is still one of the best platforms for selling used goods, although it has lost popularity due to the fees and commissions it incurs. If you are going to sell on this platform, you can be sure of your security, but keep in mind the commissions because sometimes users do not take them into account and then they are surprised.
Also keep in mind that this platform has almost become a showcase for professionals, so it will probably cost you more to sell your old PC here than on other sites.
Milanuncios, used, etc.
There are many other websites where you can register and sell your old computer without too much trouble, although they act as a simple storefront and, really, they don’t have the same traffic and impact as the previous two . Sites like Milanuncios or Segundamano are ideal for their simplicity, yes.
Sell your old computer in a physical store
The options above are designed to sell your old PC to another user on the second-hand market. However, there are also physical sites that will buy your computer if you take it with you, although you have to keep in mind that they will pay you quite a bit for it (in fact, the price will be set by them) since ‘they will later want to resell it for more money to profit from it.
These sites are for example Cash converterswhich have many stores throughout Europe where you can take your PC with you, although they also have a service that allows you to send it to them by post.
There are other companies that work in a similar way like Info-Computer, Borax or LotesPC where you will find a very similar situation, but it is still ideal for people who do not want to complicate their life when selling from their old PC. and, even if they receive less money, avoid complications.
