Many people have old and broken laptops that collect dust in the garage. Some manufacturers offer trade-in value for an old laptop when buying a new one, but, you can also get some cash for it from 2 companies without ever leaving your home.

Bad hard drive, virus infections, messed up keyboard, broken or cracked screens, whatever the problems or issues there are companies that will pay you money for your old machine. Even if you just have a slow computer that is irritating and you want a faster laptop, then this might be for you. Or maybe the laptop power supply went out, whatever the problem you can get some cash for the old machine.

An old laptop can get you some cash that could be reinvested to a new laptop or used for whatever you wish.

Companies like CashForLaptops or LaptopsIntoCash offer cash for old and broken laptops. The two can vary in the cash they offer so make sure to check them both out.

The reputations of these businesses are pretty good according to the Better Business Bureau. CashForLaptops has been doing business for seven years and has a high rating of B. LaptopsIntoCash has been in business for five years and has a C- rating. At the time I checked they had 2 complaints, which were both resolved.

How to Sell Your Laptop

First thing to do is to get an instant-quote from the site. The usual questions are the model, brand and any known defects of the laptop, missing parts, etc. The website will then return an estimated quote as to what they will pay you for the laptop. I suggest you get a quote from both sites, CashForLaptops and LaptopsIntoCash so you know you are getting the most money you can get.

The process of selling the old laptop takes about two weeks. Both companies send customers pre-paid boxes for mailing with all packing and padding materials. Once they receive the laptop it is inspected, and if it meets the standards that were part of the quote a check is mailed to the customer.If, of course, more problems are found the check maybe smaller than the actual quote.
