I think everyone has heard the statement that "...everything new is a well-washed old one" :)
What am I talking about? Besides, every user at some point in time has a problem... The old computer is many years old and seems to work, but... Progress does not stand still and I want to play new, modern games, but the video card can’t handle them . Need to work in a fresh place Autokad-e, or Photoshop-e, but the processor can’t handle it... There’s not enough RAM, and it’s hard to find an additional memory module because they don’t make those anymore, etc.... In this case, it makes sense to sell the old computer, add a certain amount and buy new. This is where the problem arises for many...
Quite often I am offered used computers for sale, but in 50% of such offers the seller cannot really explain what his computer is, its characteristics, etc. And something like this dialogue occurs:
Subscriber (A) - "...Hello, are you buying a computer?"
I - “Yes, I buy it. Which one do you have? Name it.” options!"
A - “The computer is very good. It has a large screen...”
I - “Very good is not an indicator... I’m interested in the parameters - what CPU, How many random access memory, which video card, volume hard drive etc... ".
A - “Oh, I don’t know... Come on, will you come and take a look?”
I - “I don’t have time to drive around the city to make sure that it’s possible that your computer won’t suit me... How long have you had it? When did you buy it? How much do you want?”
A - "I bought 5 years back for 30,000r. I want 20,000 rubles."
I - “Over 5 years, prices have dropped significantly. I can only tell you the approximate cost of your computer if I know its parameters. Turn on the computer and look in the properties...”
A - “Oh, I don’t know how...”
I - "I see. Okay, thank you." No need... Goodbye."
Do you understand the situation?! Human 5 years used a computer and still doesn’t know what it is and how to sell it correctly... And most likely, he has never cleaned it... What happens in the end? He will call based on another advertisement in the newspaper. The reseller, realizing that the owner of the computer does not particularly understand prices and does not know the parameters of his PC, will deliberately tell him reduced price. And the person will agree, out of despair and unwillingness to delve into the details of the transaction. Just to get rid of the old “trash” and buy new “trash” :) - again, without understanding...
In this article, I will tell you how to sell your computer correctly without losing money, nerves and time...
So, Firstly, understand what a computer is and what exactly you are selling.
Computer - This System unit(usually stands under the table and hums...:) ), Monitor(the screen opposite which sits 80% of the problems and errors that arise when working with a computer...:))) ) and Periphery- mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc. You can sell the entire computer, you can sell only the system unit (if the monitor suits you), you can sell only the monitor. It makes sense to offer peripherals as a gift, because they are inexpensive, especially used ones...
Now, you need to correctly decide on the price. To do this, you need to know the computer settings.
Namely:
Which CPU,
How many random access memory,
which video card,
volume hard drive and their number.
This is the most important thing you need to know to sell! Also, it doesn’t hurt to know what kind of power supply and how much Wt it is.
You can, of course, try to “dig up” somewhere in the bins and bottoms of your apartment an old, dirty piece of paper (which you received when you bought a PC) listing everything you need to know. But for as long as your computer has been running, it is not a fact that its configuration has remained unchanged. Perhaps something was changed with the help of a computer technician and you hardly remember what... Therefore, let’s use the most reliable and simplest option.
Go to the menu "Start"(the leftmost button at the very bottom of the screen), we find "Computer", click on it right mouse button and select - "properties"
We create a text document on the desktop and enter it into it (in my case, you will have other data):
CPU- Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz
amount of RAM- 6 GB.
We add the name of the video card (in full) and the hard drive (company name and model) to the text document.
CPU- Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz
amount of RAM- 6 GB.
video card- Nvidia GeForce GTX 460
HDD- Hitachi HDS723020BLA642
Now, let's go to "Computer", We look at the volume of each hard drive partition and add them. Keep in mind that the number of hard drives and the number of partitions are two different things.
We add its volume next to the hard drive.
CPU- Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz
amount of RAM- 6 GB.
video card- Nvidia GeForce GTX 460
HDD- Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 2Tb
Next, right-click on an empty space on the Desktop and select "Screen resolution". In the window that appears, click "Extra options" and in the window that opens, on the tab "Adapter" let's see how much used video memory. Note that the first line "Graphics memory available" It does not show the actual amount of memory of your video card, but the amount of memory that the video card can use from the total RAM of your computer. Therefore, we are interested in the number opposite the line "Video memory in use."
Also, we add to our text document, opposite the video card, the amount of its video memory.
CPU- Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz
amount of RAM -6 GB.
video card- Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 2048Mb
HDD- Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 2Tb
In principle, we have found out the basic parameters necessary for selling... All this, of course, can be found out using third-party programs. For example, such as Everest, CPU-Z... You can download them at the end of the article. I showed you the best fast And simple option using Windows.
Motherboard model You can see it when you turn on the computer - the first color screen saver. Or, using the program Everest(you can download it at the end of the article). Also, we enter it into a text document.
It is advisable to know what power power supply I'm standing with you. To do this, remove the left side cover System Unit(the block is located “front” (where the power button is) part towards us.). In 90% of cases the Power Supply is located in the upper left part of the System Unit. It is to this that the power cable from the outlet is connected. We look at its model and power on the sticker. And we add this data to our text document.
CPU- Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz
amount of RAM -6 GB.
video card- Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 2048Mb
HDD- Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 2Tb
motherboard-Asus P6T SE
power unit- Corsair 850W
Now we will prepare our System Unit for sale, namely, we will clean it of accumulated dust. To do this, take a cotton swab and carefully clean out all the accumulated dust under the fan blades on the processor. We also clean the video card fan. After that, carefully, with a vacuum cleaner, using a small attachment on its pipe, we remove all the dust inside the system unit. At the same time, we try not to touch any small parts inside.
We only have a little left. Namely, decide on the selling price. To do this, go to any search engine on the Internet. Yandex or Google, it doesn’t matter. Copy the processor model from a text document, paste it into the search line and add the word, or buy. Click Enter and looking through the search results, we find the average price for it.
We do the same with the rest of the parameters of your computer components. We add the resulting prices opposite each model in a text document. We add here the average price for housing(1200 rub.), DVD drive(650 rub.). You can find out the brand of RAM using third-party programs, but if you have a fairly old computer, you are unlikely to find a price for it. Therefore, I advise you to proceed from the price 400 rub. - 1GB. We look at the manufacturer of the monitor on its body, it could be Acer, Asus, Samsung, LG, Benq... The model can also be seen on the body (the border around the screen). Typically, the first two digits in the model name indicate the screen size in inches.
CPU- Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz -8550 rub.
amount of RAM -6 GB. - 2400rub .
video card- Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 2048Mb -8350 rub.
HDD- Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 2Tb -4399 rub.
motherboard-Asus P6T SE - 7390 rub.
power unit - Corsair 850W -5830 rub.
frame - 1200 rub.
DVD drive - 650 rub.
Monitor LCD Acer P246H 24" - 6450 rub.
Total - 45219 rub.
This is how much my computer costs if you buy it in a store at the moment. But it is 10 months old and the store warranty will expire in two months. And he already - boo. Therefore, we divide this amount by 1.5. We get - 30146r .
If the computer is more than a year old and the warranty has expired, divide this price by two. As a result, we get the approximate cost boo computer at the moment.
Well, then it’s easier. If you don’t have time to sell it yourself, we call the advertisements "I'll buy a computer" in newspapers. Keep in mind that most of these advertisements are given by resellers who will reduce the resulting cost of interest by 15-20 , to get your profit.
If time permits, place advertisements in the newspapers of your city, with approximately the following content:
Selling a computer
Intel Core i7 2.80GHz,
oper. memory - 6 GB,
video - Nvidia GTX 460 2048Mb,
gesture. disk - Hitachi 2Tb,
power supply unit - 850W,
DVD-RW,
LCD monitor 24"
Store price - 45,000 rub.
I'll sell it for 30,000 rubles. tel: **********
On average, one advertisement in a newspaper costs 50 rub. The computer usually sells within a month. I know from my own experience, because I do it myself purchase and sale.
Determine the make, model, and specifications of your computer. To determine the selling price of your computer, you must have complete information about its components.
- Review the instructions for your computer (warranty card or other documents for it) to determine the following: manufacturer, model, processor and its speed, size and type of hard drive, memory, monitor diagonal, and so on.
- If you do not have documents for your computer, study the computer yourself. This can be done by looking at the manufacturer's logo on the computer, or by turning on the computer and looking at the System Properties menu. For example, if you are selling a Windows computer, right-click the "Computer" icon on your desktop and select "Properties."

How and where to sell your computer, system unit or components?
Greetings, dear blog visitors. Dmitry Smirnov is in touch with you as always, and in this article I want to tell you about where to sell your junk, how to get rid of your ancient computer, even if it has a cool video card with an ssd, these guys are all already outdated. We’ll talk about how to sell an old computer, and most importantly, where to sell a computer.
You can now stand up to defend your personal box, with a core i7 processor, 16 gigs of RAM, a 500 gig SSD, a cool video card for 70,000 thousand and a monitor for 30,000 rubles, this is all rubbish, you can argue as much as you like. Want a joke? I am now writing with complete disgust from a desktop computer, which I don’t just want to stupidly sell for 4,000 rubles, one SSD drive cost 3,000 rubles, even the same pawnshop refused to take it for 5,000 rubles, on the radio market they will offer pennies, but where they buy everything, they won’t take it All!
Laptops and tablets, netbooks
If you are an advanced gamer, then you definitely need a powerful system unit and an excellent monitor, and not for 5,000 rubles like mine, which spoils all my vision, I worked on laptops for 4 years and there was nothing like that. Now I’m switching again to a laptop 17.3, core i3, 6 gigs of RAM, any video card for processing graphics with a video card and not a processor, ssd from 32 - 120 gigs. I don’t need anything more than that, and such a device can be bought for 40,000 rubles, and the computer will serve as a music center or a TV, perhaps in the form of toys for children, let them break it. I even have a hard drive in the box that’s 500 gigs new and 4 ddr 3 rams for laptop and system unit. But no one needs this rubbish anymore!
For a long time now, all famous bloggers have been using Macs, etc., or cool laptops, but they use them purely for work. If you think that a laptop is not capable of running the latest games at maximum speed, then you are deeply mistaken! And making an upgrade is far from a problem, well, with a video card, accordingly. If you need a computer for games, then of course we choose a system unit or a console, but for work a laptop is much more convenient and useful, I even type on it 2-3 times faster.
Where can I sell my old computer?
Accordingly, if you want to sell a computer of this type, is it perhaps better to give it as a gift? Well, or in any case, you won’t be able to sell, 20% percent of what you can do is through avito and other boards. The price will be 500 rubles - 2000 rubles, depending on the characteristics.
The best way to sell an old computer is AVITO, where you can place an ad for free.
I have a newer and better computer!!!
If you have a more recent system unit (the monitor doesn’t matter, you can sell it without it), let’s say I3 with 4 GB of RAM and 500 gigs + video for 10 thousand, then you can get 2-3 thousand for it, yes, yes, it’s 100 in a pawnshop They won’t take%, but there are (I don’t know if there are in your city) flea markets and radio markets where you can quickly sell or exchange for something, but they won’t buy it at a high price, because they won’t sell it at a high price, or they’ll take it purely for themselves. This is about the same as trying to sell a PSP for 3,000 rubles now; we have 1,000 rubles lying around, stitched, and no one needs them!
So, how to sell a computer, and where to sell a computer, namely:
The pawn shop most likely won't take it! But you can exchange your computer for something. Of course, money is best, but it doesn’t always work out that way, you know! Selling an old computer is either difficult or impossible! Take a laptop and don’t worry, there will always be a buyer!!! Unfortunately, I broke about 8 laptops(((And now you know how to sell an old computer! Well, if you don’t have the money to buy a new gadget, then
