Where to sell laptop?

joellark · 09-24-2006, 01:17 PM

Where are some good places through which I can try to sell me laptop. I am trying to get it sold for a reasonable price, so I can upgrade to one of the newer HPs. I made a post in the Buy, Sell, Trade forums some time ago, but with no success (so that's not a "good place for me to sell my laptop").

Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.

I find that E-Bay is best.

Be aware of scammers on ebay. They are very common, especially when you are selling tech items.

Write clearly in your aution to which countrie you will ship to. (i.e. shipping to Nigeria is NOT a good idea). Only take PayPal and only ship to PayPal confirmed address. See this thread for more info - it's pretty long but you get some good info from it.

I tried to sell my laptop on eBay and stated no ebayers with 0 feedbacks accepted, yet, a 0 feedback buyer used the BIN option! He/She told me to ship it to another location and well, I read enough. Reported it to eBay and waiting for a response and maybe a refund on my Final Value Fee.

Put it on Craiglist...and well, 2 scammers sent me emails. It's not safe out there anymore!

edit: 2 more scammers just a few minutes ago. It never ends!

It is best not to sell your laptop to anyone out of your country. It cuts down on costs and cuts down on potential scammers.
