Hey All,

I just upgraded my computer and would like to sell all my old hardware, i am not a great fan of ebay though, so i wondered if there is some secret company that i dont know about who buy old computer components off people? maybe there is even a store in the UK that does it? abit like a Cex Exchange shop?

I would like to know what you guys do

Cheers

You can try selling it on AVForums.

You can also list it on NeoBay.

I've used eBay several times to sell off old hardware. I've also asked family and friends, and I guess you could post it in newspaper ads as well.

And there are always sites like Kijiji, and Used everywhere, and Craigslist.

How old are your components?

I usually either give parts to friends as my "old" systems are usually newer than their current systems, or I'll keep the parts and turn the system into a backup/secondary computer, or I turn it into a server.

Not very old, when i buy servers for clients, we always upgrade the standard drive that comes in them, so i have around 10x250GB SATA Drives that has never and will never be used just sitting here. I wouldn't mind getting a £10 each for them, every little helps!

I just wanted somewhere i can sell them with as least effort as possible

i usually just sell my old computer to friends or something, as my "junk" is generally better than what most people buy new.

I would actually buy them, but I do not live in the UK, and I don't want to pay the shipping, not worth it.
