Used HP electronics typically sell for $11 to $1,271 (about £8 to £945) 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 HP electronics
HP identifies machines by a product number rather than the name on the lid, and the same name can cover several configurations. Its printers carry an ongoing consumable cost that is part of what a buyer is taking on.
- Laptops and desktops are what buyers mostly come for, found through product number and specification
- Printers and scanners are a separate market where the running cost matters as much as the machine
What to check before you buy
Quote the product number, not just the model name. On printers, also state the cartridge type, because a cheap printer with expensive consumables is a poor buy and an honest listing says so.
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 $641 HP item, a marketplace charging 20% takes $128, one charging 13.6% takes $87 and one charging 10% takes $64. WishThrift charges neither side, so you keep the whole $641.
Listing your HP electronics
- Factory reset the device and remove every account lock before you photograph it. A locked device is unusable to the buyer and is the commonest reason a sale falls apart
- 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

Questions
What should a used printer listing include?
The product number, the cartridge type it takes, and whether any ink is included. The running cost often exceeds what the machine sells for, so a buyer is choosing the consumables as much as the printer.
