What we take

If it has a motherboard in it, ask

What is inside decides the figure far more than the age on the case. A five-year-old machine with a good graphics card can be worth several times a newer one without.

Desktops and all-in-ones

Office towers and base units, the slim small form factor boxes that sit under a monitor, the little ones about the size of a book, all-in-ones where the computer is inside the screen, and anything assembled from parts.

Workstations

Xeon and Threadripper machines and anything built for rendering, CAD or engineering. These hold value considerably longer than an office tower of the same age, because what is inside them stays useful for longer.

Servers and rack equipment

Rack and tower servers, plus the rails, caddies and redundant power supplies that go with them. Whole racks are welcome.

Loose parts and components

Graphics cards, processors, memory, drives and power supplies. A box of pulled components is worth asking about rather than binning.

Selling a laptop instead? Selling a laptop covers what affects the figure there. Clearing a whole office? IT asset disposal is the business route.

Know what make it is?

There is a page for that

Reading the badge off the front gets you a better first figure, because what matters next is different for each of them.

Dell desktops

OptiPlex, Precision towers, Inspiron, Vostro, XPS desktops and Alienware Aurora — and why the shape is half the model name.

HP desktops

EliteDesk, ProDesk, Elite and Pro Tower, SFF and Mini, Z-series workstations and OMEN — and which of HP’s three naming eras yours is from.

Custom built and gaming

No badge on the front, built from parts, or a UK builder’s sticker on the side — what to tell us instead of a model number.

Questions

Selling a computer, answered

If yours is not here, call 020 3411 1951 and describe it.

How do I get rid of an old computer?

Selling is the only route that gets you anything back, and it is worth checking before you assume a machine is worthless — an old tower with a decent graphics card in it is frequently worth more than the whole machine looks. How to dispose of an old machine safely sets out the other routes and the order to do things in.

Is my old desktop worth anything?

It depends far more on what is inside it than on how old the case looks. Processor, memory, storage and especially the graphics card are what carry the value. Tell us the model, or open it up and tell us what is in there, and we will come back with a figure.

Do I send it to you, or do you collect?

For desktops it is normally collection rather than post. A tower or base unit is heavy and awkward to send, so free postage applies to laptops rather than to machines this size — tell us what you have and where you are, and we will confirm the route and anything it involves before it is arranged. The price is agreed before anything moves: where we collect, the collector checks it matches your description and pays at the time of collection; where you send it in, we pay on the working day it reaches us.

What about the monitor, keyboard and mouse?

List the monitor separately — flat panels have their own value and are frequently forgotten. Keyboards, mice and cables are worth mentioning but rarely move the figure much on their own.

What happens to the hard drive?

Say on the enquiry that the machine holds data and it is agreed before anything moves. Eligible storage is wiped and a data erasure certificate is issued; anything that cannot be wiped is destroyed rather than passed on. Please do not pull the drive out first — a machine missing its drive is worth less than the same machine with the drive wiped. More on data wiping.
