Is it possible to sell your computer online? You bet! Surprised?

Computers tend to appreciate almost as much as boats. Boats, as many people know, instantly depreciate soon after the date of the initial purchase. New cars are the same way. And computers, because technology moves along so quickly, tend to depreciate, making them hard to sell.

But we have some great advice about how to sell your computer online (and for free!)

Computer Disposal Costs You Money First of all, it should be noted that it is becoming more difficult to dispose of computers nowadays. At one time, it was possible to simply dump your old computer and monitor in the trash and expect the trash men to take it away. No longer is this possible. Many communities are more strictly policing the disposal of dangerous and environmentally damaging items. Computers contain lead and mercury, both of which are linked to birth defects.

So, increasingly the only option left for comput er owners is to pay a company to haul the computer away. The fees for disposing of the computer are not inexpensive either. It can cost upwards of $ 50 for a company to take the computer away. With that in mind, it's quite cost effective to try to sell the computer.

Age Matters -- Older Computers are a Hard Sell The first thing you should know is that computers over three years old are difficult to sell at all. Unless the computer has been extensively upgraded, few buyers will be interested. One option is to find a free online classifieds site and simply offer your computer "for the taking." In that case, the computer may suddenly look more attractive to other people. If you cannot get any takers, then hauling may be your only option.

So the lesson here is: if your older computer does have upgrades, you need to blare, trumpet, and otherwise highlight this in your ad. Otherwise, your computer will go unsold.

Unlike items like cars and real estate, it is not so important to include a photo with your ad. Computer buyers tend to search more for specifications than they do for the beauty of the monitor in case. Still, it cannot hurt to include a photo if you have a particularly attractive looking computer.

So the other lesson is that you need to include every single little specification, and easiest way to do this is to consult the manufacturer's website for your exact model number. You will want to include things such as RAM, disk space, monitor size, speed, etc. these are the main things that matter to Computer buyers.

So if you're looking to sell your computer, don't despair. With a little bit diligence ends smart advertising, it is possible to sell your computer. After all, why pay to get rid of your computer when you can actually have somebody give you money to get rid of it?
