Say you own a Razer gaming laptop you don’t use all that much. Or maybe you are strapped for cash and looking to sell it. Luckily, reselling a preowned gaming computer is pretty straightforward, especially if you do it online.
Local Groups on Social Media & FB Marketplace
- Convenience: 6 out of 10.
- Turn-around time: Depends on the Razer model.
- Payout: 7 out of 10.
One of the easiest ways to sell a used Razer gaming laptop is to post it for sale on the Facebook marketplace. Since you likely already have an account, you can post stuff for sale straight from your profile.
However, when selling a pre-owned Razer gaming laptop, be prepared to put in some work. Because Razer electronics are expensive, people are generally weary about spending $$$ on used ones. So, as a seller, you would need to take as many good, clear photos of the computer as you can, describe it to the best of your knowledge and ability, and, of course, be honest and upfront about its condition.
The tricky part about selling a hot gaming laptop on the marketplace is that you will be bombarded with messages. People will constantly (and needlessly) ask whether it is still available. And your Messanger will be flooded with lowball offers. Be prepared to address a ton of very specific, super technical, and sometimes just silly questions. Finally, you would need to meet with potential buyers. Of course, you could have them come to you, but most people are cautious about giving out their home addresses.
How to prepare your Razer for sale?
- Clean your Razer gaming laptop with a soft cloth. Remove stickers, and wipe off any marks or stains.
- Reset your laptop to factory settings. Pro tip: If the computer no longer boots up and cannot be reset, remove its hard drive before selling.
As you can see, selling a used Razer gaming laptop on Facebook can be pretty tedious. Still, it also largely depends on the year, make, specific model, and state of your computer (fully functional, damaged, sold for parts, etc.).
Alternatively, you can check out local Buy and Sell groups on social media or maybe even visit a few nearby pawnshops.
Online Resale Sites
- Convenience: 10 out of 10.
- Turn-around time: Very quick.
- Payout: 6 out of 10.
If you are in a hurry and have only a little free time to spare, an online buyback site is a perfect option. To start, simply google “sell a used Razer gaming laptop” and see what comes up. You will be surprised by how many options there are out there. Of course, some sites only purchase certain types of electronics or specific brands (like Apple), but not only will you be able to get an offer on your Razer, you will likely get a few proposals from different sites to compare.
For example, Gadget Salvation offers an outstanding and speedy service, does accept a vast number of Razer models, and, the best part, offers competitive prices!
Unlike with other platforms, where sellers are required to create a nice descriptive listing of the computer they are selling, with Gadget Salvation, getting cash for your pre-owned technology is a breeze. All you need to do is to get a free offer in a matter of seconds (no contracts or obligations), checkout, print a prepaid shipping label and send your Razer in. Once the company receives your shipment, they will test the gadget to ensure the information you provided online is true and correct. This process takes one business day on average. After that, you get cash for your used Razer.
Currently, Gadget Salvation issues payments through PayPal, Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle. They can also mail a paper check. The seller gets to choose how they want to be paid when placing a sale order online.
So to recap:
- Look up your Razer model and calculate an offer using an instant online calculator.
- Checkout and then ship your laptop.
- Get paid.
Easy as 1-2-3.
Listing Your Razer Gaming Laptop on eBay
- Convenience: 3 out of 10.
- Turn-around time: Depends on your Razer computer model.
- Payout: 7 out of 10.
eBay can be tricky even for the most experienced sellers. But if everything goes right, the seller can reap a decent cash return.
If you don’t have an eBay account, we encourage you to have a good think before creating one. First, new eBay sellers must now provide their personal information, like their Social Security number and bank account details, before they can start selling. They have to go through a verification process. Simply put, it’s a headache. So, if you are a one-time seller and don’t see yourself using eBay again, go ahead and skip this option.
Second, eBay is full of scammers. And when issues arise, eBay always sides with buyers. What could go wrong? Fake accounts, false claims, unwanted returns–you name it. And sure, with eBay, you have more control over the price of your laptop, but is it worth the risk of getting back a damaged Razer or losing it and the money altogether? Probably not.
Bottom Line
Selling a used Razer gaming online might be easier than most people suspect. There are plenty of options for reselling preowned technology, including convenient platforms for online sales and more traditional in-person local markets. Each has its benefits and drawbacks. Regardless, we always encourage our readers to research, consider their options, and, to be safe, choose a business like Gadget Salvation over a faceless buyer from eBay.
