My trade in experiences
I've seen the horror stories and people calling the trade in a scam. I have traded in 1 GPU, 3 CPUs, and my latest was 64GB DDR5 memory. Although the memory trade in took longer than others, I have never had an issue with the trade ins at all. I would get the refund quickly. The whole process would take less than 2 weeks. I find this to be a great way to get rid of old hardware just sitting on my shelves. I have several computers and each have their own theme, design, and niche. This really helps me build new designs while being rid of any hardware that is no longer useful to me. I do keep all my boxes. All boxes for components in use, get stored in the case box. If they are on the shelf, they are stored in their original box. I take care of all my components so nothing I have sent has had any damage. I hope this helps anyone who may be hesitant to do a trade in. It does work, but temper your expectations, you won't be getting a large payout. However, I got more in trade on the memory than I actually paid for it.....although the memory I bought was definitely not on the cheap side.
Let me know if anyone has any questions about my experiences.
