HP Computer Mouses Resale Value

HP computer mouses: price by condition

Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.

What holds its value across HP

• EliteBook and ZBook business machines, which are built for fleet use and are the best of what HP makes
• Machines with soldered memory at the higher capacities, since a buyer cannot upgrade them later
• Large-format and professional printers, which are genuinely expensive and retain some value
• Docking stations and power supplies, which are model-specific and irritating to source separately

What pulls HP resale value down

• Consumer inkjet printers, which are sold near cost because the money is in the cartridges — these are worth very little used
• Swollen laptop batteries, which push the chassis apart and must not be shipped
• Printers with dried or clogged print heads, which is what happens to an inkjet left unused and is often terminal
• Machines still enrolled in a corporate management profile, which the buyer cannot remove

Identifying and dating yours

1. The product and serial number are on a label underneath — quote them, since HP publishes the full specification against the product number
2. For a printer, run a nozzle check and photograph the result rather than claiming it works
3. Photograph the laptop edge-on to show the base sits flat, which rules out a swollen battery

What lifts any computer mouse, whatever the label

Mice are cheap new, so only gaming and ergonomic models hold meaningful value, and the switches are what wear.

• Recognised gaming and ergonomic brands
• Click switches with no double-clicking
• Intact grip coating with no peeling
• Wireless models with good battery life

And what pulls one down

• Double-clicking from worn switches
• Peeling or sticky rubber grip coating
• Worn PTFE feet
• Generic office mice

Working out what yours is worth

1. Click each button repeatedly checking for double registers
2. Inspect the grip coating for peeling
3. Check the feet are intact

What to state in the listing

• Brand, model, and wired or wireless
• Sensor type and DPI if it is a gaming mouse
• Whether the dongle, cable or charging lead is included
• That it has been tested for double-clicking, plus feet and coating condition

Brand, model and connection: “Logitech MX Master 3, Wireless, with Dongle”. Gaming mice sell on sensor and weight, office mice on comfort and battery life. Say whether the dongle is included, because many wireless mice will not connect without their specific receiver.

Preparing and photographing it

1. Test for double-clicking by clicking slowly many times in a text editor or a click-test page.
2. Check the scroll wheel for skipping and the side buttons for response.
3. Clean the sensor window and the feet, and note whether the feet are worn through.

1. The mouse from above and the side
2. A click-test result showing no double clicks
3. The underside, showing the sensor and feet condition
4. The model label and cable or dongle, plus any worn coating

When it sells best, and handing it over

Steady year round with a lift in September and January. Premium office and gaming mice sell within days; basic mice are worth very little.

Very cheap to post. Include the dongle and any charging cable, and pack so the scroll wheel is not under pressure.

What buyers ask

Are used printers worth selling?

Consumer inkjets rarely are — they are sold cheaply because the profit is in ink, and unused ones clog. Laser and large-format printers hold value much better.

Why do inkjet printers stop working after storage?

The print head dries and clogs. It is the standard fault on a stored inkjet and often cannot be cleared, so test before listing and say what you find.

How much is an HP computer mouse worth?

Roughly £8 to £47 depending on condition, against £8 to £45 for computer mouses generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.

What the fees would take elsewhere

At the mid-range £27 for an HP computer mouse, against what the commission marketplaces would deduct:

Seller-side rates verified 26 Jul 2026, percentages only — the per-order and processing charges those platforms add are excluded, so the real gap is wider.
