That old laptop in the cupboard loses value every day

Lots of people hold onto an old laptop as a spare, just in case the new one gives up. Makes sense in theory, but in practice it just ends up in a cupboard. And the value keeps dropping.

A laptop that sits unused for a long time also has battery problems. It degrades even when you're not using it. Sell your old laptop now and put that money towards something you actually use. A new device, a holiday or just a bit extra in the bank.

Selling a broken laptop too

Broken screen? Won't charge? Won't start? That's no reason to throw it away. At Verkopen.nl we buy damaged and faulty laptops too. Just indicate the condition when you get your quote and we'll work out what it's worth.

Broken laptops fetch less than devices in good condition. But they're rarely worthless. And every device that gets a second life instead of ending up as e-waste is a win.

Your data disappears completely

This is a question we get a lot: what happens to my files? Understandably. A laptop holds all sorts of things. Work documents, photos, passwords, private messages.

At Verkopen.nl we wipe your laptop professionally. As soon as your device arrives, our specialists remove all data completely before the laptop gets a new life. Your files never end up with anyone else.

Want to clear everything yourself before sending? Go ahead. Back it up, sign out of your accounts and restore your laptop to factory settings. The section below tells you exactly how.

How to get your laptop ready to send

Sort this out before you post it. Clearing your laptop before selling sounds like a faff, but it's quick and easy.

1. Back it up. Save your files and photos to an external hard drive or cloud storage. That way you won't lose a thing.
2. Sign out of all accounts. That includes email, your browser, cloud services and any apps on the laptop.
3. Factory reset your laptop. On Windows, go to Settings, System, Recovery and choose Reset this PC. On MacBook, go to System Settings, General and choose Erase All Content and Settings. Enter your password and confirm. Your laptop is now wiped and ready to go.
4. Give it a quick clean. A clean laptop makes a good impression and can positively affect the final valuation.

With Verkopen.nl you get real money. It goes straight into your bank account and you decide what to do with it. Buy a new device, pay a bill or just leave it in the bank. Your call.

Sell or trade in your laptop, which pays more

Major retailers let you trade in your laptop for credit. Handy if you're buying a new model anyway, but that credit can only be spent with them. And the amount is usually lower than with a direct sale.

With Verkopen.nl you get real money in your account. No credit, no small print, no conditions. You decide what to do with it.

What is your laptop worth

That depends on the brand, model, year and condition. A laptop that still runs well and looks good fetches more than one with scratches and a tired battery. Below you'll find an indication per category.
