Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Don’t Sell Your GPU, Trade It In — You Might Be Surprised What It Is Worth!”.
We need to thank new EG because they have a special trade in your GPU program. That Tech is going to tell you about so, do you have an old graphics card laying around do you need to upgrade to something newer, but you don’t want to sell your current card on eBay. Just just really quick. You will absolutely get more money for your video card on eBay than you will from new.
Of course you will, but you have to pay the shipping to the buyer. You have to worry about scam, buyers. You have to worry about somebody wanting to return it and, if you’re not used to selling, and if you don’t, if you’re not used to selling the whole thing, can be just a bit overwhelming and I’m willing to bet an awful lot of our viewers.
Have an old video card on the shelf that they thought well I’ll sell that one day, but if you don’t sell on eBay regularly, it’s a lot to figure out, it is, and their fees have gotten quite high. If you don’t have a store, if you’re, not a professional seller, they and shipping, if you don’t do it regularly, is ridiculous if you do Ship by the way, totally not sponsored pirate ship sounds Jank: 100 %, legit big discounts on the post office and UPS literally Pirat ship.com very, very good deal um no subscription, no fees, it’s amazing. So the thing is: if you’ve got a GPU, you need to trade in and you just want to get something for it, because it literally is collecting dust on your shelf. Then, basically, what they’ve got is they’ve got program here where you find the new GPU you want to buy. You get a trade and offer we’ll look at those here in a minute. You buy your new card and then you ship, the trade in using their prepaid.
Ups, shipping label sent to you in box to ship your your your card to them once they receive it. They’Ll credit you for its trade in value and if you come down here, what is your graphics card worth now again, you can get more than these prices on eBay, but this is for somebody who, for example, has a 2060 6 gig card sitting on the shelf And they don’t feel like ebaying it do you want $ 90 or $, I think, I’d rather 90 bucks. Do you have a 3078 gig, 309. 209.
209. Now, that’s not actually bad, because right now, 307s are actually trending below 300 on eBay. Oh really! So that’s not t if you sell a 3070 on eBay fact. You know what we’re here.
Why don’t we just go to eBay, pull up eBay, pull up a 370 close that RTX 370 rather than talk about it? How about I show you condition used uh. I don’t know if they have a 1030 on there, that might be a bit old, so 250 with free shipping. Although that’s one of those Dell OEM cards, but you know it’s pre-owned so that works, Zotac, blower, MSI, Ventus $ 250 plus $ 15, so 265. All right, 210, 209, 209 from New Egg and not have to worry about anything yeah.
But here’s the thing you don’t get! 250. When you sell there, you got eBay fees, shipping, eBay, fee calculator. I am willing to bet. So let’s say you sell your card for $ 265, no shipping.
Your item cost is irrelevant um, it might cost an average person. If you use pirate ship, you might get away with 15 bucks. Shipping. You don’t have an eBay store above standard is basically the normal.
The default top rated is only for pretty big sellers, no promoted no donated charity. Now they do charge fees on sales tax and let’s say that you are here in Texas and the category is computers. Do they have a dedicated video card category here? No, but it’s it’s the same.
It’S the same. It’S the same price as that eBay is going to charge you $ 38.39 in fees, so your net is $ 2 $ 11 after shipping cuz, you notice. I put the $ 15 shipping up here and New Egg. Will give you 209 with no hassle yeah, no hassle, it’s not really that unreasonable. Is it no.
Some of their some of their tradein values are better than others. This is for 209. Here is pretty reasonable. I haven’t looked that up.
Are 2066 gigs really worth that. Little these days, okay, now I’m curious. How much is an RTX, 2060, 6 G, okay, Tech’s about to be scared. Come on the interwebs impress me: why do people do this empty box? What $ 27 for an empty box? It’S going be expensive.
I mean cuz. It’S a funny shape. It’S not like you can roll it up. Okay, first of all, yes, but not only.
Why would you buy this, but why would you bother selling your time can’t be worth this little 140? When did 30 when did 20? What the chicken nugget, when did 2060s, become worth 140 bucks, it $ 90. That’S an assus card, too mhm. Okay, I take that back.
90 is completely reasonable. After fees and shipping you aren’t getting any better than that nope wow. Okay, I’m impressed here’s a 2080 TI.
11 gig for 200, which is probably Fair because they performance- wise, are about the same. What do you think of 2080 TI on I’m curious? Now, 280 parts only skip the parts only cards skip the blower card. Go no well that one’s 260, the bottom one’s 282, 280 300, depending on what so 280 to 300, that that’s not bad all right! So here you go the point being is you can get very similar to your net value off of eBay? Now, of course, if you have a buddy or a friend or a brother or sister or cousin, that you can give or sell your card to locally, that’s of course, the best recycling that exists and if you can sell it locally without eBay fees and shipping. You’Ll do better typically, but it’s a cool offering for people with a spare GPU mhm. What else do you want to add to that? I’Ll just put the link in the video description I mean in the chat for the website that we’re looking at it’s new eggs, trade in your GPU, so click on that and um right on the top of new eggs page is a trade-in button. That’S right here! This is new egg’s homepage you hit trade in and then boom.
That’S that’s where it is MHM. It’S worth noting um. What are the requirements? So there’s ter. The terms here basically says the card has to work.
Yes, that’s the that’s! That’S the the tldr version, no broken junk cards. Um you do not have to have the retail box, you don’t have to have anything else. You just have to have the card itself. What about adapters for the old? For the probably do you do you really want to? Oh my gosh they’re a corporation. What do you expect if you uh, if you uh, need some uh reading material to go to sleep? New Egg will provide you with a prepaid shipping Lego for the shipment of your trade in. You may also receive a return kit to safely mail in your device, probably for the more expensive cards. Oh, that’s cool that actually comes in because sometimes it can be tricky packing them up. When training in your new GPU purchase, the approved valuable will will be refunded against your purchase after we’ve received and verified your tradein.
If your GPU is not approved, we inform you via email. So here’s the question for audience. I’M going to do a poll. Oh, do a poll are: do you have a spare unused GPU on the Shelf that you haven’t sold yet? Would you use this program? Yes, I have a spare GPU to so uh.
I’M asking two questions. You really can’t ask two questions in the no. I sell, sell or donate all my use, GP say. Yes, I have a sp GPU.
I would use the program. There’S not enough words in the poll question I’ll have to. I don’t want to add an option o I’m I’m having. I have a spe. I love how you sit here and you watch me type instead of answering questions. While I’m typing CU, I’m thinking, don’t think, say hi to the cuz the audience doesn’t want to watch me. Tight eBay is a pain these days for small sellers. That’S why this trading program is quite exciting.
So that’s why we’re suggesting give it a go? Give it a wh here we go. Real Avis has an extra RTX 2070 that he wants to sell. Maybe that’s that’s a way to do that. Keep in mind that when you sell on eBay there’s effectively no such thing as no returns. I know some people like to check the box. That says no returns. Here’S the here’s the reality on eBay.
Let’S say you sell a video card. Let’S say it works, let’s say you’re being 100 % legit, you say no returns, the customer gets it. They change their mind.
They want to return it. They reach out to to you and you’re. Like I sold it to you, you gave me the money. I gave you the card. Dude, that’s the way it is. They just open a complaint with eBay and say: doesn’t work eBay is not going to investigate whether the card Works they’re going to force a return.
Oh, but here’s, the best part eBay is going to make you pay for return. Shipping is that only in the US. I have no idea how it works in the rest of the world, but considering the US has some of the least consumer friendly laws in the world, I’m willing to bet that’s probably Universal, but I don’t know about the rest of the world. But the point is, if you say no returns, and they claim it doesn’t work. Ebay will force you to take it back and eBay will force you to pay for return. Shipping you’ll be out roundtrip shipping yep.
You never really know what you’re going to get back. Even if you get it and they will force a refund yep, so eBay is a rough place to sell things like video cards. If you’re, not a serious seller, it’s a rough place to sell anything if you’re, not a if you, if you’re not do it for yeah. So just keep that in mind. There’S really no such thing now. I would actually advise that you say you accept returns, because if you say you accept returns, you can put in the conditions.
Buyer pays return. Shipping yeah average dude. What on the bottom still doesn’t matter? If they open a claim? Oh, but here’s the best part they can claim not as described then then they can still force a return exactly because what they can say is. Oh, I bought a 2070 and you sent me a 2060. How are you to prove? I you eBay is not. The eBay can be a rough place to sell stuff like video cards.
Oh .
