When to sell a laptop?

When would it be economically best to sell a laptop? My laptop is now almost 3 years old and cost 1200 euro and I could sell it on eBay classifieds for 500-550. Would it be good if I sold it in the next few months?

Well, it's hardly worth more.

But why sell at all? Don't you want to use it anymore?

So buy a new one now, again for 1,200, which means you pay 700 euro for 3 years of laptop use. Does that fit?

From an economic point of view, it is never worth selling a second-hand computer or laptop.

If you get 500-600 euro for it, it's better than not. Every year it becomes less valuable.

My laptop is no longer up to date and I would buy a new or almost new one for around 1000 euro

Yeah good,

then we summarize:

You want a new laptop
You can sell the old laptop for 500
of the 500 you can partially finance the new laptop

So yeah what are you waiting for? You need a new one and you can get rid of the old one for money.

If you want to know whether the laptop might be worth 50 euro more in 2 months? Sure can be, but is that important? Does it come down to 50 euro in the end? Much more likely, the thing will lose value.
But your dream device also loses its value, that's the way it is with technology.

When would it be economically best to sell a laptop?

One could give you two answers:

Now that more and more people have home offices and need a decent laptop to work or a second just for work, or even unemployed, just sit around at home, need a laptop to pass the time and also need to write applications.
When at some point Corona is over, as more and more people are unemployed or have short-time work, and therefore there's not enough money.

Would it be good if I sold it in the next few months?

Multimedia items, especially laptops, always sell well. I would put him in now.
