text: where and is it worth to sell my old computer? i am considering buying a brand new computer. not sure what to do with the one old. feel that it is a waste to ditch it. is it worthwhile to sell it and where can i sell it to? many people donate their old pcs, but if you're strapped for cash, you could take it to a pawn shop or to a privately owned shop where they will probably refurbish and upgrade it, then sell it for profit.  most likely, any of those options will leave you disappointed with the amount of cash you receive in comparison to what you expect to get.  when i tried to sell my pc, it was easily worth over $700, but the guys at cyberxchange only offered a maximum of $300 to $350.  selling it on ebay actually has better odds.  you can expect close to, if not over what your asking price is.
