How to Get Cash for Old Electronics
It is possible to get cash for old electronics if the seller is willing to do some advertising. Using online resources can help to find a buyer faster than using only local advertising methods. The price to ask a buyer to pay depends on the item and whether or not it is in good condition.
- Decide how much you want to ask a buyer to pay for your old electronics. Check online to try and find the value of the particular items you want to sell. You may want to ask slightly more than the amount you actually want, then you can reduce the price down as you negotiate with the buyer.
- Service your electronic items to get them ready to sell. Clean each item as well before you try to find a buyer. Make sure the electronics work properly so you do not have any problems with a buyer after the sale.
- Use social media to try and sell your old electronics. Blog about your equipment or spread the word by having your online contacts try to help you find a buyer. Offer to pay part of the sales price to anyone who can help you sell your old electronics.
- Pull up an auction website to find out how much it costs to list your electronic equipment. Create an auction listing and take pictures of your electronics to put on the web page. Set a minimum price, so you do not have to sell the equipment for an amount that is less than you want. Log on and watch the auction in the latter stages so you can get in touch with the winning bidder to arrange to ship your electronics.
- Put an advertisement in your local newspaper. Contact the classified department to find out the cost per word for placing an ad. You may also want to put an ad in the paper of a large city that is near you to try and find a buyer at a faster rate.
