Manchester PC buys used devices

Sell your laptop, MacBook, PC or phone

We buy used MacBooks, laptops, desktop PCs and mobile phones, working or faulty, as long as they are complete. Send us the details and some photos, and if it is something we can use, we will email you an offer.

The short version

What do we buy?

MacBooks, Windows and other laptops, desktop PCs (including gaming and custom builds) and mobile phones. See what we buy.

Do you consider faulty devices?

Yes. A fault does not rule a device out, and scratches and normal wear are fine. The device must be complete. Tell us about any repairs, upgrades or replaced parts: we assess these individually.

How do I get an offer?

Fill in our short form with the details and some photos. We will review your details and reply by email. If it is something we can use, we send an offer, valid for seven days.

Do you collect, or can I post it?

Once you accept an offer, we can arrange collection for selected Manchester and nearby postcodes, at no charge. Elsewhere in the UK, we send you written instructions for posting it.

How selling to us works

  1. Tell us about your device

    Choose the device type and describe the model, its condition, any faults and any repairs or upgrades.

  2. Add photos and your details

    Upload clear photos, including any damage, and give us your contact details and postcode.

  3. We review it and reply by email

    If it is something we can use, we email you an offer based on what you have told us. Offers are valid for seven days.

  4. Accept, then arrange handover

    If you accept, we arrange collection for selected Manchester and nearby postcodes, or send you written instructions for posting it.

  5. We inspect it and pay you

    We check the device matches your description and agree the final price with you, then pay by bank transfer to an account in your name.

What makes a device suitable

Devices must be complete. Everyday scratches and scuffs are expected. Tell us about any repairs, upgrades or replaced parts: we assess these individually.

We are happy to look at

  • Working devices with normal signs of use
  • Cracked screens and cosmetic damage
  • Devices that will not turn on, charge or start up
  • Battery, keyboard, port and similar faults
  • Disclosed official repairs and properly fitted upgrades, assessed individually

Generally not suitable

  • Repairs that were not disclosed, or poor-quality repair work
  • Stripped devices or missing components
  • Account or management locks that cannot be removed
  • Reported lost or stolen, or not yours to sell

Not sure where your device fits? The full list of what we buy explains it, and the form lets you add any context.

Before you hand it over

Your personal data and accounts stay your responsibility until the device leaves you, so there are a few things to do once you have accepted an offer:

  • Back up anything you want to keep.
  • Sign out of your Apple, Google or Microsoft accounts and turn off Find My or similar protection. Activation and account locks must be removed before we can buy a device.
  • Erase the device if it still works, and take out SIM and memory cards.
  • For a work device, make sure your organisation has released it from management and that you are authorised to sell it.

You never need to give us a password. Our step-by-step preparation guide covers Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android.

We will never ask for

  • Passwords or passcodes
  • Recovery keys
  • Bank or card details on the form
  • Identity documents on the form

Repair it or sell it?

If your device is worth fixing and you would like to keep it, our repair team can help: see laptop repair, MacBook repair or PC repair. Repair quotes use a separate repair quote form.

If you would rather move on from it, whether it works or not, this is the place. There is no need to repair a device before selling it to us, and please do not take anything out of it.

Questions about selling

Will you buy any device I send details for?
No. We look at every request, but we only make an offer when a device is something we can use. If we cannot make an offer, we will tell you.
How do you work out an offer?
Mainly from the model, specification and age, the condition, what the fault is if there is one, any repair history, and whether it is complete. Clear photos and an honest description help us make an accurate offer.
How long is an offer valid?
Seven calendar days from the date of our offer email. Once you accept, we agree a reasonable time for collection or delivery. If the device reaches us much later than agreed, we may need to recheck the offer.
How will I be paid?
By bank transfer to an account in your name, once we have inspected the device and agreed the final price with you. We never ask for bank details on the enquiry form.
What happens if the device is not as described?
We send you what we found and a revised offer, and you are free to decline it. If you decline, we return the device. The device purchase terms explain who pays for return postage.
Can I just bring my device in?
Please do not arrive without arranging it with us first. We work by appointment and arranged collection, and we do not take walk-ins. Everything is agreed with you by email once you have accepted an offer.
Do you need my passwords?
No, never. Please do not send passwords, passcodes, recovery keys or bank details through the form. Before a sale you remove your accounts and locks yourself. Our preparation guide shows how.
Is this the same as getting a repair quote?
No. Selling a device and repairing one are separate services with separate forms. If you would rather keep your device and have it fixed, use our repair quote form instead.

Thinking of selling?

Send us the details and a few photos. If it is something we can use, we will email you an offer. There is no obligation to accept.

Any offer we make is based on the details and photos you send, and is valid for seven days. It is subject to us checking the device when we receive it and confirming it matches your description.
