How selling your computer works
No guessing games. Tell us what you have, get a real range, bring it in.
-
Tell us what you've got
Fill out the quick form with your machine's specs — model, processor, memory, storage, condition — and add photos if you can. Takes about two minutes, and the more you tell us, the tighter our estimate.
-
Get your estimated range
A real DC Computers tech reviews your specs and replies within one business day with an honest estimated range — based on what machines like yours actually sell for, not a lowball script.
-
Bring it in, get your offer
We inspect the machine in person at our Hillcrest shop and confirm the final offer on the spot. Take it as a trade-in toward anything in the store, or sell it outright — your call, zero obligation either way.
What we're looking for
Towers & gaming PCs
Custom builds, gaming rigs, workstations, brand-name desktops. The parts drive the price, so have ready:
- CPU and graphics card (GPU)
- RAM, storage size & type (SSD/HDD)
- Brand, cooling, anything not working
Laptops & more
Windows laptops, gaming laptops, and Chromebooks in good working shape. Have ready:
- Brand and model
- Processor, RAM, storage
- Battery/screen condition
Not sure your machine qualifies, or it's not working? Ask anyway — broken machines can still have value in parts, and we'll tell you straight either way.

Selling & trading in, frequently asked questions
How do you decide what my computer is worth?
We look at what machines with your exact specs and condition actually sell for, minus the work we'll put in to test, wipe, and refurbish it. That's why we ask for real specs up front — it lets us give you a tight, honest range instead of a vague guess.
Trade-in credit or selling outright — which is better?
If you're upgrading, trade-in credit applies directly to anything in the store — it's the fastest path to your next machine. If you just want out, we'll buy it outright. Either way the inspection and offer process is the same.
What about my data?
Every machine we take in is fully and securely wiped as part of our process. If you need help backing up or migrating your data to a new machine first, that's a service we offer — just ask.
My computer doesn't work. Can I still sell it?
Often, yes — dead machines can still have real value in their parts (GPU, RAM, drives, displays). Tell us what's wrong in the form and we'll let you know if it's worth bringing in.
Do I need the original box or charger?
Chargers help (especially for laptops) and original boxes are a small plus, but neither is required. Bring what you have.
How fast do I get paid?
Once we inspect the machine in person and you accept the offer, it's done that visit — trade-in credit is applied immediately, and outright sales are paid out on the spot per store policy.
That machine isn't getting newer
