I've been clearing out the house in preparation for moving and discovered an old laptop. It's not that old, purchased in 2002, but I don't use it as I've upgraded. I'd like to unload it and possibly get a little cash for it. Anyone know of any reputable places that buy used laptops? I know I could just sell it on eBay, but really, I'm not sure I want to deal with the hassle. I'm happy to take less money if someone does the dirty work for me. I'll reformat the thing, of course, but beyond that, I'd just like someone to take it and give me money.
Ideas? |

I have a friend who is still quite happily using the laptop she bought in 1999. It's had a few upgrades, but works like a charm. So I don't think of my 2002 laptop as that old.  |

| If you find you can't get anything for it, consider donating it. For example, there is a Computer4Kids near me whose aim is to "...improve low income youth's computer and learning skills through caring mentorship, structured training, a vibrant learning environment, and access to a computer at home." I'll bet there is probably something similar where you are... |

I've got an old laptop that I use only for a portable word processor. (Hit and Miss writing on my future Best Selling Novel - HaHa!) Someone might want to use it for a similar use if you don't want too much for it.
Our state-wide newspaper offers free classified ads. I've sold numerous things that way. It didn't cost me a penny. You might check into that. Good luck. |

Now that's not a bad idea. I'll definitely look into that. Basically, I just hate the idea of disposing of it and would like to get something from it. But donating it so someone else gets something out of it is just as good. |
