Advice sought

Post by butler1882 » Wed Nov 20 2019 7:22am

Not sure I have posted this in the right place.

I have a few laptops/ netbooks and old printer. I don’t think they are worth anything but can anyone recommend anywhere I could sell them online?

I’m rubbish with this kind of thing.

CeX? Website uk.webuy.com or you'll get the valuation same in store
If they won't give you anything, they're probably near-worthless. eBay is also an option

Make sure you wipe everything before disposing of them.

Printers are so cheap that yours is almost certainly worthless unless yours is something out of the ordinary like a large format (A3 or bigger).

Second hand IT is almost worthless to sell and possibility more trouble than its worth to sell on for any real value.

There are charities about who will wipe your hard drive (important!) and ship your 2nd hand IT out to Africa for use in schools etc. Similar charities exist in UK that ship to classes who strip down the machines to show classes of future IT experts how to rebuild the laptops etc.

I'm sure with a little bit of searching you could find a useful route for your old IT.

I haven't had the pleasure to see them myself but something along the lines of Jacobs Well Foundation is my preferred option.
