Laptops and netbooks are becoming more popular every year, but not everyone wants to, or can afford, a new laptop model. There are many ways you can save money when buying your next laptop and one of the best methods is buying a second hand laptop.

There are many places where you can find second hand laptops for sale such as online or via your local classifieds. Sites such as eBay or craigslist are great places to find cheap second hand laptops and they can be bought with the safety of PayPal in most instances.

It is important to find out the history and condition of the second hand laptop you are interested in. You can do this by asking the seller, asking for photos and/or viewing the laptop before you buy it. Ensure that you try to find out if the laptop has had any repairs under warranty as this may affect your decision.

When buying a used laptop it is important to remember that not every deal will be genuine. Try to buy from reputable sources and be aware of deals that seem â??too good to be true.â? If possible it is a good idea to pick the laptop up so that you can test it out before handing over the money!
