Used Microsoft electronics typically sell for $11 to $989 (about £8 to £735) depending on the item and its condition. Used electronics turn on provable working order and on the accessories that came in the box. A buyer cannot test anything remotely, so the listings that sell are the ones that demonstrate function rather than assert it, and that are specific about which regional model and which charger is included.

Models, regions and compatibility on Microsoft electronics
Microsoft’s own hardware is built as sealed units where the battery and storage are not user-replaceable, so a device with a failing battery is largely at the end of its life. The model identifies the generation.
- Tablets and hybrid laptops form the greater part of resale and are chosen through generation and storage
- Keyboards, mice and webcams form a separate and much cheaper market again
- Because these are sealed, battery condition is far more decisive than on a conventional laptop
What to check before you buy
Ask for the battery’s remaining capacity and check the screen edges for any swelling or lifting. A swollen battery in a sealed device is dangerous and ends the machine.
For the checks that apply to any used electronics regardless of the maker, see the guide to buying used electronics.
What you keep when you sell
On a typical $500 Microsoft item, a marketplace charging 20% takes $100, one charging 13.6% takes $68 and one charging 10% takes $50. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $500.
Listing your Microsoft electronics
- Photograph the screen on, the ports, the rating plate and every accessory laid out. Those four images answer almost every message you would otherwise receive
- Include the original box and cables if you have them and say so. On electronics they are worth more than sellers expect, because replacements are model-specific

Questions
What does a swollen battery look like?
The screen or the case starts to lift at an edge or corner, and the device may rock when placed flat. It is a safety issue rather than a cosmetic one and the device should not be used or posted.
Are sealed devices worth buying used?
Only with a healthy battery, because replacing one is a specialist job that often costs more than the device is worth. Ask for the remaining capacity figure before committing.
