Laptops 4 Cash ?

Hello everyone,
I was looking into giving an old laptop of mine to a recycling company that offers cash. Now i found quite a few and the best offer came from laptops4cash ltd. It all looks legit and trustworthy but I was just wondering if anyone knows them/had a problem from them? Alternatively, have you used any other similar company that offers cash in exchange for old laptops?

Many thanks for your time

    They will most likely sell it on e.bay and give you a small share of the money.

    Thanks for your reply,
    i 've already been given a quote which exceeds my expectations and other quotes so I was just wondering how legitimate they are. How can I protect myself from having my laptop nicked basically!

    Are you familiar with other similar companies that are trusted?

    Cheers,

    looking at ebay I suspect they break them and sell the parts

    they also seem to be a PC repair business so a good source of cheap parts for them

    Hi

    After reading the original post as I'm in a similar situation I've just submitted an online form to get a quote for selling my old laptop with laptops4cash - can anyone report their own success selling through this company please? I also have a printer I need to flog (seriously skint & jobless for a couple of months now...) - can anyone recommend where/how I could do this & get the best deal please?

    Many thanks.
  • I've sent my laptop to buymylaptop.co.uk a couple of weeks ago......still waiting for the money.

    Anyone had any dealings with them?.....Are they legit?.......Or have I lost the laptop?
  • Hi,

    both i and my husband sold laptops using sell-your-laptop.co.uk

    i sold mine last year and was paid no problems, my husband sold his last week and was paid this week.

    we had no problems, and were happy with the price - in both cases the prices paid to us were the prices that we were paid were the prices we were quoted on the website.
