At Sell Your PC, our hallmark is providing a platform that is not just swift, reliable, and secure, but one that also mitigates the typical concerns associated with selling pre-owned items.

Secure." Our mission is to provide a reliable platform that simplifies the selling process, whilst ensuring your safety and peace of mind are never compromised.

We have tried to simplify the process as much as possible, making selling as easy as 1..2..3. The selling process starts out by requiring you to fill in a form that captures the item and condition that you would like to sell, before you will get an instant offer.

Should you accept the offer, you will ship (or deliver) the item to our offices accompanied by documentation we require under the Second Hands Goods Act 6 of 2009 . Upon receiving your item, we will assess it. If everything is as described we will request some supporting documentation (if not already provided).

Once the documention is in order your payment will be processed instantaniously. 

Watch our cool summary video on our home page for more.

Our process for selling used goods is as straightforward as ABC. We've streamlined it to three simple steps, starting with you completing a form that captures the details and condition of the item you wish to sell. Following this, you'll receive an offer typically within 24 hours.

If you choose to accept our offer, you'll need to courier or deliver the item to our offices, accompanied by the necessary documentation as mandated by the Second-Hand Goods Act 6 of 2009. We do also provide assistance with arranging courier if you are not able to deliver the items yourself. Upon receipt of your item, we'll conduct an assessment. If all is in order and matches the provided description, we might ask for some supporting documentation (if it wasn't previously provided).

Once all the paperwork is squared away, we'll process your payment without delay. To get a more comprehensive understanding, do watch our succinct summary video on our selling page.

Our primary goal is to enhance safety in the second-hand goods marketplace. To achieve this, and to comply with the Second-Hand Goods Act (No. 6 of 2009) and other relevant regulations, we are obliged to gather the same information that traditional brick-and-mortar stores, like Cash Crusaders or Cash Converters, require.

By law, we need the following information to complete a transaction:

• Proof of residence (dated within the last three months)

• Verified copy of ID (you only need to submit this once)

• Confirmation of banking details

Rest assured, this information will only be requested from clients who are selling items to us, and only once the sale has been agreed upon and is nearing completion. All information will be securely encrypted and not shared with any third party for any reason whatsoever.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, please don't hesitate to contact us - I have a question.

Absolutely. We take your data privacy very seriously and make it a top priority to ensure your information is always secure. We don't share any data with third parties, and the information we collect is strictly on a need-to-know basis, utilised solely for the purpose described.

We strictly adhere to the stipulations of the Protection of Personal Information Act (PoPi Act), taking every reasonable measure to secure all data in our custody and to comply with local regulations and legislation.

For a more in-depth understanding of our data handling practices, we invite you to read our Cookie and Privacy Policy.

At Sell Your PC, your privacy is sacrosanct. We will NEVER share your personal data with any third party. Period.

Upon the completion of the sales process and the acceptance of your item(s), we will process the payment to your bank account. All payments are made via an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), ensuring a seamless, secure, and speedy transaction directly into your bank account.

Each payment will be accompanied by a payment referencing Sell Your PC and a short description if applicable. This way, you can easily track and verify the transaction. This method also eliminates the risks associated with handling physical cash, lost pins with eWallet payments or the delays that can occur with cheques.

It's important to remember that your banking details will be handled with the highest level of confidentiality and security, and will be used solely for the purpose of completing the transaction.

We strive to make this process as effortless as possible for you, ensuring that you can receive your payment promptly and with peace of mind.

We hear your concerns. In this digital age, safeguarding your personal details is vital, and we appreciate your caution. However, please rest assured that our operations are entirely transparent. Our primary goal is to ensure that payments are processed efficiently and correctly. To do this, we need to confirm that all information is accurate and verified.

While our only current payment method is EFT, we're actively exploring other payment options that will make the process even simpler and more secure. Keep an eye out for future announcements about our e-Wallet, and possibly even crypto payments!

If at any point you feel uncertain or have any concerns, you're more than welcome to visit our office. Our CEO would be delighted to meet you, and could even process an instant payment while you're in his office enjoying a hot cup of coffee.

our peace of mind is our top priority. ☕🤝

However, we are actively exploring this feature as we strive to improve and streamline our payment procedures for your convenience. Do keep a close eye on our website and social media channels for any updates regarding this - exciting things are on the horizon! 👀🎉

Our payment process is swift and efficient. If your account is with FNB, just like us, you should see the payment clear the same day - in many cases, almost immediately!

For those with accounts in other banks like Standard Bank, Nedbank, Investec, Discovery, and Absa, the payment clearance can take up to one working day. For Capitec account holders, payments usually clear within two working days.

Please note, these timelines depend on interbank transfer speeds, which are beyond our control. Rest assured, you will receive an emailed payment notification the moment we initiate the transfer. We're committed to ensuring you get your payment as soon as possible! 🚀🏦

Absolutely, assuming the item(s) you're selling matches the condition you initially stated and successfully passes our meticulous testing process, you'll receive the full payment.

However, if we encounter any discrepancies or detect any defects not previously mentioned, we won't leave you in the dark. We will openly communicate these findings and work together to find a mutually agreeable solution. Our ultimate aim is to ensure a positive, fair experience for you so you'll be confident in recommending us to your friends! 😉🤝💻

Once you've accepted our offer, it's secured for a period of five days. Remember, it's essential that your item(s) arrives at our office within this five-day window for the transaction to be completed.

We strive for efficiency and speed in all our processes. For those keen sellers out there, it's entirely feasible to wrap up the entire process within 24 hours!

Time to get selling! 🚀⏰💼

No problem at all! If your item isn't listed explicitly, simply drop us an email or fill in our contact form. We're open to considering any electronic equipment, so give us a shout and we'll take a look!

You might be amazed at what we're willing to purchase. We believe in giving your old or unwanted items a new lease on life, as they could be just what someone else is looking for!

So why not let us spread a little love to your unused gear? 💻🎧📸🖥️💖

If your item is listed on our website, there are several tests mentioned that you can carry out to ascertain whether it meets our criteria. Generally speaking, if the item is less than three years old and is in decent physical and functional condition, it should be suitable for resale. However, if you're still in doubt, or have any specific questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're always here to help! 👍📱💻🔍

Each item that arrives at our location is given a detailed visual inspection before we conduct the specific tests mentioned in our FAQ. We aim for full transparency, so we've explained our testing procedures in detail. We welcome you to perform your own tests at home and share the results with us before you ship or deliver your item. In the unlikely scenario that your item doesn't match its described condition, we'll have a conversation with you to discuss our findings, providing any supporting evidence. At this point, we can either arrange to return the item to you or propose a revised offer.

Remember, you, as the seller, always have the final say. Our goal is to ensure a smooth and satisfactory selling process for all our clients. 🤝💼🔍💻

Our ultimate goal is to maintain transparency and customer satisfaction throughout the entire selling process. To this end, we empower our clients to conduct the same tests at home that we would in-house using the same software (refer to our testing section for more details). In fact, we encourage you to share your testing results, including any images, as part of your submission process. Once we receive your item, we'll perform identical tests and if there's a discrepancy between your data and ours (within reason), we'll initiate a dialogue with you to find a mutually acceptable solution. 🔄🔬

However, if you don't wish to accept a reduced offer for your item, you have the option to arrange a courier to retrieve it, or to collect it yourself. We want to emphasise that you are at the driver's seat of the process and all final decisions rest with you. Our aspiration is to make sure every interaction with Sell Your PC leaves our valued clients with a smile. 😊🙌💻

At present, we are not accepting items shipped from international locations, but it's an avenue we are exploring. Stay tuned for updates!

As we offer a wide range of products, including brand new, used, and imported items, the warranty periods may vary. We strive to provide clear information about the warranty coverage for each specific item. If you have any concerns or questions regarding the warranty of a particular item, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to assist you!

Typically, new goods purchased from us will come with the manufacturer warranty, or ICT distributor warranty.

Used goods, however, can carry a remainder of manufacturer warranty, or come with a Dead on Arrival (DoA) warranty only. Either way, you will always be kept in the loop.

Typically, local warranty claims undergo assessment within approximately one week, during which we await feedback from the ICT distributor or manufacturer. In cases where a formal assessment is required by the warranty provider, the procurement of replacement parts (if applicable) may take up to four weeks. However, please note that the duration can vary depending on the product, manufacturer, and availability of parts.

At Sell Your PC, we make every effort to expedite all warranty (RMA) processes and bring them to a swift resolution. Customer satisfaction is of utmost importance to us.

Used ASIC miners undergo a rigorous two-pass Quality Assurance (QA) process upon being purchased or imported by us. Our dedicated technical team carefully evaluates the physical condition and mining performance of each miner. As part of the QA process, the miner is run for several hours to stress test its functionality.

To be resold, a miner must pass all QA tests, hash at the expected rate, and exhibit no issues with its control board, hash boards, or Power Supply Unit (PSU).

However, given the nature of used ASIC miners and the fact that we have no control over their usage once they leave our premises, we are unable to offer any warranty for these products. Nonetheless, we take our QA processes seriously to ensure that only quality-approved miners are sold.

Before delivery, every used miner undergoes a final test and is accompanied by a video recording to provide evidence of its working condition. In the event of any issues, we strive to offer support through electronic channels.

All new ASIC miners come with a manufacturer's warranty, typically between 3 to 6 months depending on the manufacturer. In the event that a warranty-related claim has to be made, the client will have to ship the ASIC miner back to the manufacturer on their own cost. Sell Your PC will endeavour to facilitate the administrative effort to do so.

Sell Your PC has a Dead On Arrival (DOA) agreement with most of our suppliers of brand new ASIC equipment. Under this agreement, we open and test all brand new ASIC miners when they are delivered to our office. Every new miner undergoes the same 2-pass Quality Assurance (QA) process that used miners undergo.

Every single used miner that is sold is spun up to give a final test before handing it over to the client. Each sale is accompanied by a video that is recorded of the miner to provide proof of its working condition. Should the client experience any issues, we will do our best to provide support via electronic channels.

If you wish to return an item to us within 7 days of purchase without it being faulty, please be aware that a restocking fee of 30% will be applied if the return is accepted. It is important to note that all returned items must be in their original unused condition and with their original packaging. Any signs of use, wear and tear, or damage may result in the return being declined at the discretion of our staff.

We strive to provide a fair and transparent return process, ensuring that our customers are satisfied with their purchases.

Absolutely! We understand the convenience and cost considerations involved in having your item repaired locally. However, it's important to note that any repairs we perform on your item may void the manufacturer's warranty if it is still valid.

If your item is still covered by a local warranty, we recommend reaching out to the manufacturer to explore repair or replacement options, as this may be a more cost-effective solution. However, if you prefer to have the repair carried out by us or if the manufacturer's warranty is no longer applicable, we are more than happy to provide you with a thorough assessment and repair service. Your satisfaction is our priority.

Our repair services cover a wide range of computer and crypto-mining related components. Some of the items we can repair include:

Unlike most repair businesses you will find out that, we actually do component level repairs to electronics. Most companies and individuals offering "repairs" typically just replace full parts such as motherboards.

For items that are in stock or available locally, we primarily use The Courier Guy as our preferred courier service provider. Delivery times can vary depending on your location. Typically, deliveries to main centers take between 1-3 days, while outlying areas may take up to 5 days for delivery.

Please keep in mind that for orders placed with our international distributors, it may take up to 3 weeks to receive your item(s).

Rest assured, we will provide you with regular updates and tracking information so you can stay informed about the status of your delivery.

Absolutely! If you prefer to collect the item in person, we can arrange for a convenient collection at our head office. Simply let us know in advance, and we will ensure that your order is ready for collection. Please note that payment on your order would have to have cleared, before, collection is arranged.

A range of different tests are performed on ASIC miners, depending on the manufacturer. In general, ASIC miners are stress-tested where they are running for at least 4 hours to assess aspects such as their control board and hash board temperatures, fan speeds, and to check for temperature issues.

We also download the kernel log of each miner to check for diagnostic issues related to the miner. Naturally, we will also take a look at the general maintenance and upkeep which was done on the miner, its chips, and heatsinks.

Definitely! Please don't just discard the items. Reach out to us and we will ensure that the items are properly recycled or put to good use. Any items which could serve as storage of sensitive information (such as a hard drive or RAM module) is formatted and overwritten multiple times if found to be in working condition.

Properly recycling E-Waste has a positive impact on the environment. The metals, plastics and glass contained in E-Waste can be recycled, reducing pollution and the environmental impact of landfills, at least to some degree. The recycled heavy metals also reduces the need to mine such, further doing your part to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

Your old electronics contain heavy metals, glass and plastics which could end up on a landfill, contributing to pollution in and around the area. Unfortunately, recycling is not an easy process, nor is it widely adopted by people in most communities.

Ultimately, if everyone does a small bit, it will contribute towards a far larger impact - this where Sell Your PC would like to assist.

We can definitely oblige - please contact us to discuss, and we will stop by in no time.
