Sell ​​your computer and buy a new one. What to do with an old computer: dispose of, hand over for spare parts or sell

I think everyone has heard the statement that "...everything new is a well-washed old one":)

Why am I? And besides, every user has a problem at some point in time... The old computer is already quite a few years old and seems to work, but... Progress does not stand still and I want to play new, modern games, but the video card does not "take them out" . Gotta work fresh AutoCAD-e, or photoshop-e, but the processor does not pull... There is not enough RAM, and it is difficult to find an additional memory module, because they no longer produce such ones, etc.... In this case, it makes sense to sell the old computer, add a certain amount and buy new. This is where a lot of people have a problem...

I am often offered used computers for sale, but in 50% of such offers, the seller cannot really explain what his computer is, its characteristics, etc. And the following dialogue takes place:

Subscriber (A) - "... Hello, are you buying a computer?"

I - "Yes, I'm buying. Which one do you have? Name options!"

BUT - "The computer is very good. It has a large screen..."

I - "Very good - this is not an indicator ... I'm interested in the parameters - what CPU, How many random access memory, which video card, volume hard drive etc... ".

BUT - "Oh, I don't know... Come on, will you come and have a look?"

I - "I don't have time to drive around the city to make sure that perhaps your computer will not suit me ... How long have you had it? When did you buy it? How much do you want?"

BUT - "Bought 5 years back for 30000r. I want 20000.

I - "Over 5 years, prices have fallen dramatically. I can tell you the approximate cost of your computer only if I know its parameters. Turn on the computer and look in the properties ..."

BUT "Oh, I can't..."

I - "I see. Okay, thanks, no need... Goodbye."

Do you understand the situation? Human 5 years used a computer and still does not know what it is and how to sell it correctly ... And most likely, he never cleaned it ... What happens in the end? He will call for another ad in the newspaper. The reseller, realizing that the owner of the computer does not really understand prices and does not know the parameters of his PC, will deliberately call him low price. And the person will agree, out of hopelessness and unwillingness to delve into the details of the transaction. Just to get rid of the old "trash" and buy new "trash" :) - again, without understanding ...

In this article, I will tell you how to sell your computer without wasting money, nerves and time ...

So, first of all, understand what a computer is and what exactly you are selling.

A computer - this is System unit(usually standing under the table and buzzing...:) ), Monitor(the screen in front of which sits 80% of the problems and errors that occur when working with a computer...:)))) and Periphery- mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc. You can sell the whole computer, you can sell only the system unit (if the monitor suits you), you can sell only the monitor. It makes sense to offer the periphery as a gift, because it is inexpensive, especially second-hand ...

Now, you need to correctly determine the price. To do this, you need to know the settings of the computer.

Namely:

which CPU,

How many random access memory,

which video card,

volume hard drive and their number.

This is the most important thing you need to know to sell! Also, it does not hurt to know which and how much Wt is the power supply.

You can, of course, try to "dig up" somewhere in the bins and bottom of your apartment, an old, filthy piece of paper (which you received when you bought a PC) listing everything you need to know. But for the period that the computer is working for you, it is not a fact that its configuration has remained unchanged. Perhaps something was changed with the help of a computer wizard and you hardly remember what ... Therefore, we will use the safest and easiest option.

We go to the menu "Start"(leftmost button at the very bottom of the screen), we find "A computer", click on it right mouse button and select "properties"

We create a text document on the desktop and enter it into it (in my case, you will have other data):

CPU- Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz

amount of RAM- 6 GB.

We add the name of the video card (completely) and the hard disk (company name and model) to the text document.

CPU- Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz

amount of RAM- 6 GB.

video card- Nvidia GeForce GTX 460

HDD- Hitachi HDS723020BLA642

Now, let's go to "A computer", we look at the volume of each partition of the hard disk and plus them. Keep in mind that the number of hard drives and the number of partitions are two different things.

We add its volume opposite the hard disk.

CPU- Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz

amount of RAM- 6 GB.

video card- Nvidia GeForce GTX 460

HDD- Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 2Tb

Next, right-click on an empty spot on the Desktop and select "Screen resolution". In the window that appears, click "Extra options" and in the window that opens, on the tab "Adapter" see how much used video memory. Note that the first line "Available graphics memory" shows not the real amount of memory of your video card, but the amount of memory that the video card can use from the total RAM of your computer. Therefore, we are interested in the number opposite the line "Video memory in use."




Also, we add to our text document, opposite the video card, the amount of its video memory.

CPU- Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz

amount of RAM -6 GB.

video card- Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 2048Mb

HDD- Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 2Tb

In principle, we found out the main parameters necessary for the sale ... All this, of course, can be found with the help of third-party programs. For example, such as Everest, CPU-Z... You can download them at the end of the article. I showed you the most quick and simple option using Windows.

Motherboard model can be viewed when you turn on the computer - the first color screensaver. Or, using the program Everest(you can download at the end of the article). Also, we enter it into a text document.

Would like to know how much power power supply I'm standing by you. To do this, remove the left side cover system unit(The block is located "front" (where the power button) part to us.). The Power Supply in 90% of the options is located in the upper left part of the System Unit. It is to it that the power cable is connected from the outlet. We look at the sticker for its model and power. And add this data to our text document.

CPU- Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz

amount of RAM -6 GB.

video card- Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 2048Mb

HDD- Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 2Tb

motherboard-Asus P6T SE

power unit- Corsair 850W

Now we will prepare our System Unit for sale, namely, we will clean it from the accumulated dust. For this we take cotton swab and carefully clean out all the accumulated dust under the fan blades on the processor. We also clean the video card fan. Thereafter, carefully, with a vacuum cleaner, using a small nozzle on its pipe, we remove all the dust inside the system unit. At the same time, we try not to touch any small parts inside.

We have very little left. Namely, determine the sale price. To do this, go to any search engine on the Internet. Yandex or Google, it doesn't matter. We copy the processor model from a text document, paste it into the search line and add a word, or buy. Click Enter and looking through the search results, we find the average price for it.


We do the same with the rest of the parameters of the components of your computer. We add the received prices in front of each model in a text document. Add here the average price for corps(1200 rub.), DVD drive(650 rubles). You can find out the brand of RAM using third-party programs, but if you have a fairly old computer, you are unlikely to find a price for it. Therefore, I advise you to proceed from the price 400r. - 1GB. We look at the manufacturer of the monitor on its case, it can be Acer, Asus, Samsung, LG, Benq ... The model is also visible on the case (the border around the screen). Usually, the first two digits in the model name indicate the screen size in inches.

CPU- Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz -8550r.

amount of RAM -6 GB. - 2400r .

video card- Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 2048Mb-8350r.

HDD- Hitachi HDS723020BLA642 2Tb-4399r.

motherboard-Asus P6T SE- 7390r.

power unit - Corsair 850W-5830r.

frame - 1200r.

DVD drive - 650r.

Monitor LCD Acer P246H 24" - 6450r.

Total - 45219r.

This is how much my computer costs if you buy it in a store at the moment. But he is 10 months old and the store warranty will end in two months. And he already boo. Therefore, we divide this sum by 1.5. We receive - 30146r .

If the computer is over a year old and the warranty is over, divide this price by two. As a result, we get the approximate cost boo computer at the moment.

Well, then it's easier. If there is no time to sell it yourself, we call on ads "I will buy a computer" in newspapers. Keep in mind, most of these ads are given by resellers who will lower the resulting cost of interest by 15-20 , to get your profit.

If time suffers, give ads in the newspapers of your city, something like this:

I will sell the computer

Intel Core i7 2.80GHz,

opera. memory - 6 GB,

video - Nvidia GTX 460 2048Mb,

gesture. disk - Hitachi 2Tb,

power supply unit - 850W

dvd-rw,

LCD Monitor 24"

Store price - 45000r.

I will give for 30000r. tel: **********

On average, one advertisement in a newspaper costs 50 rub. Within a month, the computer is usually sold. I know from my own experience, because I do it myself purchase and sale.
