How was your experience like at Cash Converters (Singapore)?
I want to sell off my old laptop (NEC brand). It comes together with a charger and thats all. How much do you think the price range would be? Also, I want to sell off some British artist CDs that I've not used, thou I did unwrapped the plastic when I first received them. One is Kaiser Chiefs "Off with their heads", Keane "perfect symmetry", Snow patrol "a hundred million sun" and James Morrison "Songs for you, truths for me". what would the price range be for each CD?

Answer 1 :
normally they buy at very cheap price, not worth selling there, depends on the quality and how old your laptop will be, maybe around $50-150, for english songs CDs will be around $0.50 - $1.00 per piece, call them for enquires:
Answer 2 :
From what i know about cash converters " BUY IN " systems and prices ( APX ). 1 ) Laptop / PC . * based on New prices 25 % form items between 2-3 years. * based on New prices - 10-15 % for those items more than 3/4 years. more than 4 years model . lower than 5 % of new prices. ie. you NEC laptop * working unit * about 2 years. their own record show that time New prices is around S$ 3000 . there will paid you for not more that S$ 750 . 2 ) CD to them use or not use before . just take as second hand . there in no difference in " buy in ' prices. Privet Import CDs will not buy in by them. only ORIGINAL CDs .and very selective for CDs / VCD / DVD. . English Song *ANY * just less that 0.50 cents. some may up to S$ 1.00 but no more than S$ 1.oo. you must visit them with the items for prices detail . by PHONE CALL. there never tell you about the buy in prices or any things about prices , before there TEST and TOUCH the real unit .
Answer 3 :
no bother. they dun pay much. after deducting the transport fare. it pratically giving the thing to them for free
Answer 4 :
from my experience, not advisable if you're selling anything good. They probably offer you prices in the cents per CD. 1. you may have to spend quite a bit of time on this : there's a very long queue when i went to their Jurong East branch one weekday afternoon, waited for over an hour just to see someone. 2. be prepared for some extreme low-balling; I actually had someone quoting me $6 (the coins' face-value) for a sterling silver coin set ( quite ridiculous, cuz there's a cert with it from the Singapore Mint guaranteeing the minimum value at ~$100) felt quite miffed over their "valuations" so in the end, i brought almost everything back home.
Answer 5 :
I suggest you to post it online or give it to someone that needs. My experience, cash converters pricing to horrible. No point wasting the trip.
Answer 6 :
It's all common sense. An old laptop if sold 2nd hand can sell for between $200 to $300. Considering there are not much useful functions to match with today's advanced software and programs, your old laptop can only fetch between $50 to $100
