Comment on Ask HN: What should I do with my old laptop?

Comments

Something that doesn't come up very often: if you find an entrepreneur from Africa/Middle East/Southeast Asia/LatAm they're often very interested in purchasing second hand MacBooks or whatnot to power some new ideas :-) Ebay isn't great because there are steep customs charges which you don't necessarily have if you're selling privately.

How is customs going to be any different whether or not eBay facilitated the sale?

Shipping it as a gift usually works.

No, it doesn't.

usually. I live in a Third World country and I pay significantly less fees when the item has been declared as a gift.
