A few months ago, I realized that I had quite a few old/broken/used laptops piled up around my office, and I went on a quest to get rid of them. I have heard quite a bit about recycling old computer equipment in the past, so I knew that was an option, but being the thrifty/cheap/profiteering person that I am, I first looked for ways to cash in. I quickly found that there is indeed a market for old and used laptops, even the incredibly old or incredibly broken. In my search, I found a number of brokers online that promised to send me a check for my laptop computers, based on my evaluation of the laptop’s quality.
I decided after a quick overview of the available brokers that LaptopsIntoCash.com looked like my best option (despite the annoying sounds on their website). They quoted me a higher price than some others, as well as offered to send me a pre-paid shipping box for the laptop, so I decided to try them out. As a test, I first sent them my oldest and most broken laptop - for a promised price of $10. That may sound like a horrible deal for me, but this was a very old computer with few working components, so it was better than giving it away at a recycling drive (or allowing it to continue to gather dust in the corner of my office). The pre-paid box showed up on my doorstep within two days of submitting my shipping address and laptop specs on their website, and I had my $10 check within a few weeks of dropping off the box at a FedEx/Kinkos location. The first successful transaction gave me the confidence to send them 2 more laptops over the past few months. Each of those two transactions was successful, with LaptopsIntoCash.com sending me the quoted amount for each computer, without any delay or argument. All communications I’ve had with the people at LaptopsIntoCash.com were courteous and friendly.
I have one more laptop to send them, and their service has been perfect so far. I recommend them to anyone holding onto an old laptop that’s taking up space. I can attest that they do in fact send out checks, and they haven’t yet tried to lower their bid once they have my equipment (a common problem people often run into when trying to sell old electronics to brokers online).
Have you ever sold a laptop or other electronics to an online brokerage? What was your experience?
