HOW TO SELL YOUR OLD LAPTOP
Most people get laptop as a gift, some even get it through ‘pass down’ but the thing is, now you’ve got this new laptop, what happens to the one you had before?
Regardless of which, you should have a plan for the former laptop now it’s considered ‘old’?
Well, I know I won’t just throw it away or discard carelessly just because I upgraded to a new one knowing I can make few bucks from it.
The thing is, not many people know they can actually make cool cash from recycling old laptops especially if it’s a little bit faulty. They toss it in the trash giving up on it.
Just because your laptop is damaged doesn’t mean it should end up six feet under.
Recycling or donating to charity are very good options but if you know you want to make few bucks from it then recycling is the best option to go with.
Before you sell your old laptop, you should know some important details about it; specifications, worth, condition etc.
Also make a list of your laptop’s main components in order to find an accurate price estimate.
- CPU
- Hard Drive
- Screen size
- Memory
- Graphics
Your laptop’s condition
Clean your laptop, make it look brighter. Clean out dirt hidden at every corner. Making it look really clean gives an extra edge to it.
Also make sure some parts are properly working before selling it. The power button should still function well, check if all the keys present, accounted for and in working order?
Is the battery life still at its best, can it run for more than one hour?
The answers you get will determine if your laptop will fetch you a tidy sum because no matter where/how you plan to sell, you’ll need a good photo for confirmation.
Wipe your data.
Make sure you remove your personal information and sensitive data from the laptop before saying goodbye to it.
You can remove important data to an external hard drive or better still, directly to your new laptop before wiping your hard drive clean. Not to worry though, kwam-iT offers free data wipe for any laptop that comes into the store.
Moreover, most laptop models offer various configurations and customizations options. Pricing can vary widely for a particular make and model though.
The internet has plenty options on where to sell your old laptop but finding the right buyer that suits you may take a while.
