There are many benefits to selling your pre-loved laptop. For one, it’s a great way to get extra cash in your pocket and let’s be honest, who doesn’t want extra cash for a laptop you don’t use anymore? If you decide to sell your laptop consider the following:

1. Make sure your laptop is in good working condition

Before you sell your laptop, examine it carefully for any wear and tear such as scratches, chips, cracks or dents. Does it need to be constantly plugged into a power supply to work? Are there any display defects such as bad pixels or spots? Do you still have the original charger?

2. Are you going the online route?

There are online platforms that people use to sell their items such as Marketplace, however, make sure you are aware of the dangers that are associated with selling items to a stranger online. You need to do your due diligence such as checking the buyer’s profile to ensure they are who they say they are and discussing the details of the transaction before meeting the buyer. For example, are you going to meet at a neutral meeting place and will the payment be in cash or electronic? Are you going to receive the payment before or after the exchange?

3. Are you going to sell your laptop to a reputable second-hand shop?

Selling an item at a store like Cash Converters eliminates so many unanswered questions. All you need is to be over 18 years of age and visit your nearest store with your laptop and any proof of identity. This means you are safe from scammers. Your item will be evaluated, and you’ll get your money immediately.

Selling your items online has its own set of advantages such as reaching a bigger audience who will be willing to pay your asking price. It also requires patience to find the right buyer.
