A UK seller's guide
Yes, we're biased. Used graphics cards are a big part of what we do, and we back ourselves to give you a strong quote with much less running around. But the best route for you depends on whether you want cash quickly, a local trade-in or the highest price you can negotiate.
Here's how to compare the options properly. This is GPUsed's own guide, not an independent ranking or a live price comparison.

Service information checked on 9 September 2026. The links below go to each provider's own information; we haven't placed test orders or independently timed their service.
| Route | Why you might choose it | What to compare |
|---|---|---|
| GPUsed | A personal quote from a hardware specialist, no GPUsed seller fees and covered postage for eligible UK sales. | Exact model and condition, agreed sending route and payment after checks. Standard quotes can take as little as 10 minutes; complex enquiries can take longer. |
| CeX | A store route if you prefer handing an item over locally, plus an online sell-to service. | Compare its cash-buy price, not its voucher value. CeX lists store payment choices and separate online payment methods. |
| GPU Workshop | Another specialist direct GPU buyer, with an online model selector and emailed quote confirmation. | Use the offer for your precise model and condition, then check sending and approval terms. Its published process describes testing before bank-transfer payment. |
| Techbuyer | An IT-hardware buyback route worth considering for business equipment and larger clearances. | Ask about the exact graphics card or equipment list and the service you need. Its UK site includes hardware buyback and IT asset-disposal services; don't assume every consumer GPU receives the same offer or handling. |
| eBay | A wide audience and control over your listing and asking price. You may achieve more by selling directly to the eventual user. | UK private and business sellers have different fees. Standard selling is free for UK-based private sellers, subject to the listed limits and exceptions. Optional upgrades, overseas sales and business selling can involve charges. Check payout timing and your delivery responsibilities too. |
| Local private sale | You can negotiate directly and may agree collection, avoiding a parcel. | You handle the messages, meeting and payment checks. Agree the condition and inclusions clearly, and verify payment in your own account rather than relying on a screenshot or email. |
Compare the money you keep, not the biggest number
A £300 asking price isn't a completed £300 sale. Equally, a voucher with a higher face value isn't necessarily better for someone who wants money in their bank account. Start by comparing the same card, memory version, condition and accessories.
Then check any costs you actually pay: delivery, an optional promoted listing or applicable seller fees. Don't subtract a made-up marketplace fee simply because an old guide says everyone pays one. Your time matters too, but only you can decide what a week of messages and waiting is worth.
If you're selling several cards, compare the total offer and collection arrangements. Mixing individual advertised prices with a bulk quote can produce a misleading result.
Give us the chance to beat your cash quote
For one to four eligible working GPUs, GPUsed guarantees to beat a current, verifiable, like-for-like net cash quote from CeX, Techbuyer, GPU Workshop, Bits & PCs or SellGPU.com. Send us the competing quote with your card details.
The full terms explain eligibility. Private offers, marketplace prices, vouchers and credit don't qualify; faulty stock and five-or-more-unit bulk deals are handled separately. This is a promise to beat qualifying offers, not a claim that every first quote is always the highest.
So, who would we recommend GPUsed to?
If you want a person who understands the difference between an RTX 3080 10GB and 12GB, a straightforward sale and no public listing to manage, this is exactly what we're here for. There are no GPUsed seller fees, and payments are normally sent the same working day once the hardware has passed our checks.
If you enjoy selling privately and aren't in a hurry, it can be worth trying for a higher price. If handing the card over locally matters most, check the available store and collection options. You don't need to pretend every other route is terrible to make a good choice.
