Best Places to Sell Your Old Laptops/Gadgets

Do you have old gadgets lying around your home, taking up valuable space? Then let us inform you that you can get cash in exchange for those ancient pieces of technology.

Is your laptop lagging and heating up? No worries, you can get money for that too. Wondering how to get money for your tech junk? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

Here is a list of the best places, websites, and apps, where you can sell your old Laptops or Gadgets and make space for newer ones.

1. SellBroke

It is an online marketplace to sell your old gadgets, laptops, or phones. It is the fastest way to get money from your used laptops and electronics, and it pays much more than many other online platforms to sell pre-owned tech stuff.

SellBroke doesn’t store the seller’s personal data, so it’s more secure and reliable.

Their mission is to make a customer-friendly online marketplace so that everyone selling their old stuff on their platform has the best experience and gets the highest value for their items.

It provides a fast and free shipping facility and even accepts electronics that no longer work. So, you can sell your dead laptop or phone here and get paid for it!

For selling used items, you need to visit their website and search for the things you want to sell. Now select the item’s condition and submit, and you’ll instantly see the best price you can get for it.

On selling items on SellBroke, you get your money as soon as they receive your product. All money transactions are done online via Google Pay or PayPal, so it is safer, and the money gets added to your bank balance.

SellBroke recycles all the good parts from broken electronic goods and reuses them in an effort to reduce e-waste.

So, don’t throw away your broken phone or laptop if you can get money as well as reduce the e-waste by selling it to SellBroke.

2. Facebook Marketplace

Do you have a Facebook account? Probably, yes. So why not avail of the Facebook Marketplace service. You can sell your used electronic gadgets and directly connect with buyers over the online social networking platform.

With over 2.5 billion users on Facebook, there is a high chance that all your used tech will run out of stock in no time.

And on top of that, it’s really easy to list your old electronics on Facebook Marketplace and set their price as much as you want (but make it reasonable).

Facebook Marketplace can potentially fetch you more money for your used items because there are no third-party app charges on them. You can also enable bidding on the items, which can be more profitable sometimes.

But it would require you to be more active on Facebook for answering questions, and your product description and images need to be clear to receive more offers.

Facebook’s chat also allows you to talk and negotiate with the buyers or set a location for in-person meetups.

Facebook Marketplace is a good way to get rid of unused electronics, but it’s not a great one because Facebook doesn’t facilitate the shipping process.

Hence, if your buyer lives far from you, you have to add shipping charges to your items.

Also, if you live in a large city, you’ll get more buyers, but there will be more competition in the marketplace with many people trying to sell their products.

3. eBay

It is one of the most popular sites to sell pre-owned stuff. Your used tech will fly off the shelves on eBay, thanks to its vast user base of over 165 million members.

Listing items for sale is also straightforward. Just upload clear photos of your old stuff, add a description, and post them on the website.

The main advantage you get while listing unwanted tech on eBay is that you can set the item’s price as much as you wish.

eBay has an international user base, and it provides worldwide shipping, although you need to pay shipping charges for your product.

eBay allows your first 50 items to be listed for free in one month, and you need to pay an amount only if you successfully sell a thing.

Since eBay’s market is user-controlled, the price of a product varies from time to time, based on the amount other sellers set on a product.

For example, if you set the cost of your smartphone to be $400 and someone else lists the same smartphone at $350, then there is a chance that people will go for the cheaper one, depending on its condition.

So, you need to set a reasonable price for your item; otherwise, it may not sell as quickly as you want.

4. Amazon Trade-in

Amazon, the largest online marketplace globally, also accepts almost every unwanted tech that has piled up in your home.

From old Laptops, phones to adapters, routers, security cams, etc., can be quickly sold on Amazon, provided they still work.

It also provides free (or minimal charges due to the taxation policies of some countries) shipping for your used stuff.

Selling on Amazon is easier than you expect. Search for the product you want to sell on the Amazon Trade-in webpage, provide a description of your item and select its condition.

If your item satisfies the necessary conditions for trade-in, Amazon will give you an offer for the old stuff, which if you accept, a free shipping label will be provided for sending it to them.

Amazon checks your item with the description, and if that matches, they’ll give you an Amazon Gift Card equivalent to the product’s price within two business days.

The process of selling pre-owned stuff on Amazon works pretty fast and is quite reliable.

The main disadvantage of selling old tech on Amazon is that the item needs to work; otherwise, Amazon won’t take it, and you won’t receive your payment as cash or in your bank account, but in terms of Amazon Gift Card, which can only be spent on Amazon.

Conclusion

If you want instant money for your old laptops, phones, and various other gadgets, then SellBroke is the best place for you.

Also, if you’re uncomfortable with meeting buyers in person, then no need to do that if you can sell your old stuff sitting at your home with SellBroke, which also pays money online to your bank account rather than gift cards.

Get the best price for pre-owned electronics, and earn while cleaning your home.

I blog about a range of tech topics.

For the last 7 years I have been a social media marketing specialist and business growth consultant, so I write about those the most.

Full transparency: I do review a lot of services and I try to do it as objectively as possible; I give honest feedback and only promote services I believe truly work (for which I may or may not receive a commission) – if you are a service owner and you think I have made a mistake then please let me know in the comments section.
