💡 These prices are our base rates, valid without an account and with no minimum. They increase with the quantities offered — and by registering, you get a personalised rate for your volumes — a few kilos, a pallet or a full truck.
Price per kilo, for processors without heatsink or fan. Mixed lots are accepted and sorted on arrival. See also our processor buyback by weight page and the per-unit Xeon server buyback.
How is the buyback price calculated?
Three factors: the precious-metal content of the processor type (a gold-capped ceramic CPU from the 1990s holds far more gold than a recent plastic one), the metal market rates of the day, and the volume of your lot. Displayed prices follow the markets — hence the update date at the top of the page.
How should I prepare my processors?
Remove heatsinks and fans (we buy those too, priced separately). No need to sort by model: ceramic / plastic / gold-capped sorting is enough, and we can even sort for you. Pack in a rigid box — processors travel very well.
How do I ship, and when do I get paid?
First send us a few photos and the estimated weight to receive a quote within 24 hours. Ship by tracked parcel, or on-site collection for larger volumes. Payment follows quickly after the lot is checked on arrival — bank transfer, with WEEE traceability documents if you are a business.
Why create an account?
The displayed price is our floor price, paid to everyone. Free registration unlocks a scale that rises with quantity: per unit or per kilo, per pallet or per full truck — the bigger the volume, the better the buyback price. Create my account.
