How much is my broken computer worth?+
Payout depends on what type of computer it is and what's wrong with it. Examples from our current catalog: broken Dell XPS or HP laptop (cracked screen) ~$100–$400; broken gaming desktop (dead GPU) ~$150–$500; dead all-in-one (HP or Dell) ~$50–$300; MacBook Pro (cracked screen) ~$200–$700. These are approximate ranges — get an instant quote above for your exact model and damage. Prices update daily.
Can I sell a computer that won't turn on?+
Yes. A dead computer still has substantial parts value. CPUs, RAM modules, storage drives, GPU cards, display panels, and chassis components can all be salvaged. Select "No Power / Bad Motherboard" when getting your quote and we price based on the model and its likely recoverable components. Most dead computers still pay something meaningful.
Do I need to fix my computer before selling?+
No. Sell it exactly as-is. Repair costs almost always exceed the increase in resale value — a new screen for a broken laptop can cost $150–$300 when the laptop itself might fetch $200 broken. We factor the damage into our offer, so you get a fair price without spending anything first.
Do you buy broken desktops and gaming PCs?+
Yes. We buy broken desktop towers, gaming PCs, mini PCs, and workstations of all kinds. Bad motherboard, missing or dead GPU, no power, BIOS locked, missing drives or RAM — all accepted. Gaming desktops with dead GPUs still pay based on the CPU, RAM, chassis, PSU, and storage value.
Do you buy broken all-in-one computers?+
Yes. We buy HP, Dell, Lenovo, and Apple iMac all-in-ones in any condition — broken screens, bad motherboards, no power, missing storage. A cracked 27" iMac screen or a dead HP Envy AIO still has parts value we'll pay for.
