What a used chromebook is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for chromebooks, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £250 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £212 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £162 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £112 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £62 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a chromebook
- Auto Update Expiration date still well in the future
- Touchscreen and convertible models
- Backlit keyboards and higher-resolution screens
- Original charger included
What lowers it
- Machines past their update expiration date
- Small storage and low memory configurations
- Worn keyboards and trackpads
- Missing chargers
How to work out what yours is worth
- Look up the model’s Auto Update Expiration date
- Note the exact model, memory and storage
- Powerwash the device before selling
Once you have those three answers you can place your own chromebook on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
Do Chromebooks expire?
Effectively yes. Each model has an Auto Update Expiration date, after which it stops receiving updates and is worth very little.
How do I find the expiry date?
It is published per model by the maker and is the single most important thing to state in your listing.
What is a powerwash?
A full factory reset that removes your account and data. It should always be done before selling.
