Selling A Used Or Broken Laptop

If you have an old laptop that you want to dispose of then you can sell it.  It does not even have to be in working condition.  There are places that will buy broken laptops as well. One such place online is www.cashforlaptops.com.  I have not personally used this site but have read a review on Squidoo that was positive about them. If your laptop is used and in working condition and you want to get a little money out of it then make sure you clean your hard drive of all your personal data and remove any software that is registered in your name.  It would also be wise to make a backup of the data before you erase it just in case you accidentally missed moving something important to your new computer. Clean the computer and try to round up and provide all the documentation and/or software that came with the computer originally.  This will help bring a little better price for the laptop. If your computer is broken then it would probably be best to go online and find one of the recycle companies to sell it to.  These companies will either repair the computer for resale or strip it and use the good parts in other computers. If you just bought a new laptop because you wanted a newer model with more bells and whistles and your old laptop is still working fine then there are a number of people who would like to purchase it for one reason or another. A lot of parents like to purchase used laptops for their small children to play on.  This way the parents don’t have to worry about the children accidentally messing up something important on their computer. Some schools buy used laptops just because they are strapped for funds and this is a good way to get a computer that is adequate for their needs at a cheaper price. Some students will also buy a used computer because they are also short on funds for such items.  To sell the laptop you might post a flyer on the bulletin boards at some of the local schools or universities. You could also run an ad in your local paper. If you can’t find a buyer locally then post an ad online at some places like: Ebay, Craigslist or USFreeAds.  If you can’t find a buyer that will give you the price that you would like to have then consider donating the laptop to a local school, animal shelter or library and then take the donation as a tax deduction.
