The last time you got a new cell phone or laptop, what did you do with the old one? You probably didn’t throw it away (especially not if it still worked!), and you most likely didn’t have anyone to sell or give it to. So, if you’re like most people, it probably got shuffled into a drawer, or the back of a closet, to await the day when you’d find it and have to decide what to do with it all over again. Don’t let the junk-accumulating cycle continue- sell old electronics for money.
Selling anything used can be complicated and tedious, but selling old electronics definitely doesn’t need to be. There are just a few things you need to remember to sell old electronics for money:
– There’s a line between “old” and “vintage.” If your electronics are a few years old, but not obsolete, you can sell them to a used electronics dealer and make some decent money. If your electronics are very old (fifteen to twenty years), you might be able to sell them to a collector or hobbyist.
– If your old electronics aren’t in perfect condition, you’ll probably have a hard time finding a buyer. A used electronics dealer can still use broken devices for parts, so dealers are worth considering if you find yourself stuck with used, damaged electronics.
– You won’t be able to recoup all of your expense when you sell old electronics for money. Electronics depreciate very rapidly, especially if they’ve taken any damage. This is why a lot of people think it isn’t worthwhile to try to sell them. If you go through a used electronics dealer, you can get a good amount of money for your electronics, and not have to spend much time or effort to do it.
– It’s a bad idea to try to sell old electronics for money by yourself. You’ll have to handle advertising, shipping, and customer complaints, to name just a few things. If you sell your old devices to a dealer, you won’t have to concern yourself with any of that.
– Auction sites are almost always a waste of time. They’re crowded with other people trying to sell old electronics for money, aren’t likely to draw in the kind of customers you want, and you’ll almost never get enough bids to meet the price you want.
– Classified ads cost money, run for a limited time, and probably won’t attract the kind of buyers you want, either. You’ll end up with a lot of people who’ll call you, only to find out that they aren’t interested after all.
– Yard sales take enormous amounts of energy and planning. By the time your yard sale is over, you’ll probably find that you still have your old electronics- not many people are likely to want them, and the ones that do won’t be willing to spend more than five or ten dollars.
– Trying to sell old electronics for money through a used electronics dealer is generally faster and easier than the above. You’ll get your money once your electronics are received by the dealer, and you won’t be responsible for finding an end buyer. You just get a price quote, send your devices in, and collect your cash.
The electronics industry is powered by people rushing out to get the newest, flashiest stuff. Cell phone companies encourage people to replace their phones before they wear out, and the average computer will become obsolete long before any of its components stops working. That means that there are a whole lot of functioning, unwanted electronics out there. If you’re willing to keep an eye out for unwanted cell phones, Blackberries, or laptops, you can easily make some extra money selling them to a used electronics dealer.
Selling your old devices is the cleanest, easiest way to get rid of them. Throwing them out is wasteful, recycling them pollutes, and holding on to them doesn’t make any sense. Sell old electronics for money instead, and you can earn cash just for cleaning out your closest and junk drawers. It’s fun, easy, and requires almost no work from you.
