Do bent pins on the motherboard side matter?

Modern Intel desktop chips use a land grid array, so the pins live in the socket rather than on the processor. What we check instead is the contact pads and the die — scuffed pads or a cracked die usually mean the chip gets no offer.

When do I get paid for my Intel CPU?

Within 24 hours of your package arriving and passing inspection, Monday through Friday — by Zelle, PayPal, USDC, or mailed check.

What if your inspection changes my offer?

We email you the revised number and exactly what we found. Accept it, or decline and we ship the part back at our expense — no restocking fee.

Selling Intel

Sell Intel CPUs — Core Ultra and Core i-series

We buy Intel desktop processors: Core Ultra 9, 7 and 5, and Core i9, i7, i5 and i3 from 14th Gen back to 2nd Gen, including K, KF, F and T versions.

The exact SKU sets the price, so a 14700K and a 14700KF are separate offers. We pay for chips that work; scuffed contact pads or a cracked die usually mean no offer, and a chip sent with other parts is recycled responsibly.
