Part exchange

There are two ways to part exchange

Part exchange means your used item is valued and put towards a product from GPUsed. You can either buy first and sell afterwards, or send your item first and have the agreed value taken off the GPUsed item you want.

Option 1 Buy your GPUsed item first, then sell your old item to GPUsed afterwards using the normal sale process.
Option 2 Send your item to GPUsed first. Once it has been checked and approved, GPUsed reduces the target item by the agreed part-exchange value.
Postage For agreed eligible part exchanges, GPUsed covers postage both ways.
Difference If the GPUsed item costs more than your part-exchange value, you pay the difference. If your trade-in value is higher, GPUsed can review the best way to handle the difference.

What to include

Details GPUsed needs for a useful quote

Clear information means fewer follow-up questions and a cleaner quote.

Model and quantityExact model names matter. “RTX 3080 10GB” is more useful than “old graphics card”.
ConditionState whether the item is working, faulty, untested, damaged, boxed or missing accessories.
Sale or PXSay whether you want a cash sale, part exchange or both options reviewed.
Target itemFor part exchange, include the GPUsed product you want to buy if you already know it.
Postage preferenceSay whether you would prefer GPUsed to send a courier or whether you want to post the item yourself.
Payout detailsWhen posting an item, put your name, contact details and payout details inside the box so it can be processed quickly on arrival.

Checks and approval

Quotes are subject to the item matching the description

GPUsed quotes are based on the information provided. Final approval depends on the item being the same model, same condition and same quantity as described, and passing the relevant checks. If an item has an undisclosed fault, is incomplete, is damaged, is the wrong model or does not match the original description, GPUsed may revise the quote or decline the item. When posting an item, include your name, contact details and payout details inside the box so the parcel can be matched to your quote quickly.

Testing

How items are checked before approval

GPUsed graphics cards are tested with a 1 hour FurMark temperature test, 2 Unigine benchmark runs for graphics performance, a GPU-Z legitimacy check and visual inspection. CPUs, RAM and SSDs go through their own specialist testing processes. Larger lots or part-exchange enquiries may need staged checking or agreed handling.

Best direct quote guarantee

How GPUsed handles genuine competing quotes

GPUsed offers a best direct quote guarantee against genuine written UK cash quotes from direct-buying competitors for eligible used computer components, where the quote is for the same item, same condition and same quantity. Private-sale listings, eBay sold prices, Facebook offers, Reddit offers, auctions, marketplace listings, trade-in credit, voucher-only offers, expired quotes and non-like-for-like comparisons are excluded.
