Used gaming laptops in Oxford typically sell for £250 to £900 (about $335 to $1,200). Gaming laptops are bought on the graphics card, full stop — the GPU model belongs in your title, and everything else is secondary.
Selling a gaming laptop in Oxford
Oxford is a university city where the colleges own much of the centre, and it also builds cars at a plant on the eastern edge that has been making them for a century. It is expensive, extremely cycle-heavy and the centre is effectively closed to through traffic.
Terms end at fixed points three times a year and students clear rooms each time, which makes the cycle here faster than a normal academic year. Bikes, desks and books move in genuine volume at those moments.
The centre is restricted to buses and bicycles for most of the day, so arrange anything large outside it. Bicycles change hands constantly here and the station and covered market are the usual meeting points.
On a used bike, ask about the frame first and the components second. Components are replaceable and a cracked or repaired frame is not, and it is the one thing photographs routinely hide.
Handing it over in Oxford
Most private sales settle by bank transfer or cash on collection. Faster Payments clear in seconds, which makes a transfer as safe as cash for the seller — wait for it to land before the item leaves your hands.

Heavy and expensive. Post double-boxed with the charger packed separately, or hand over locally with a live demonstration, which reassures a buyer spending several hundred pounds.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.

Is the original charger included?
Confirm the wattage. Gaming laptops need high-output chargers and a generic replacement will not run the machine at full performance.
