Newegg accepts more items for trade-in
Newegg Commerce Inc. is expanding the range of computer components included in its refurbishment program.
The online technology product retailer, which unveiled the Newegg Refreshed refurbishment and trade-in program for tech and PC products in January 2024, is now accepting central processing units (CPUs) in exchange for credit toward an entirely new CPU from Newegg.
A CPU, often referred to as the “brain” of a computer, enables PCs to process data and operations. Newegg’s program allows customers to trade in their existing aged CPUs for credit toward a new CPU. Customers can see the trade-in offer upfront, purchase the new product, then subsequently send in their old hardware so they are never without a CPU or GPU in their desktop PC.
Once a trade-in application is submitted and approved, a free shipping label will be provided to ship the CPU to Newegg for evaluation. If the trade is accepted, the customer will receive a refund on their new CPU purchase. If the CPU trade is rejected, customers will get the CPU they sent back from Newegg free of charge.

In addition to the new CPU Trade-In program, Newegg has also collaborated with Intel to allow customers to trade in qualifying PCs for a Newegg gift card valued up to $400 when purchasing a qualified new PC with an Intel processor from Newegg through Aug. 11, 2024.
Eligible PCs for trade-in must be no older than seven years from the original manufacture date and includes: desktops, laptops, two-in-one convertibles, detachables, MacBooks, iPads and Chromebooks.
"Considering how crucial both the CPU and GPU are to desktop PCs, we think it’s a great initiative to offer customers the ability to trade in their existing components to get credit toward brand new products," said Ken Tu, senior category manager at Newegg. "We’ve built a process that allows customers to safely and seamlessly trade in their components for newer versions and are excited to expand it with desktop CPUs."
"New gaming PCs powered by Intel Core 14th Gen processors include a suite of advanced tools and technologies enabling experiences that gamers are looking for," said Ozlem Coday, GM of client channel, ecosystem and graphics at Intel. "We look forward to seeing gamers take advantage of this trade in offer."
