Problem
Gaming PCs are expensive to buy new, and selling a used system is often a hassle involving uncertain pricing, cumbersome shipping logistics, and slow payment. Buyers face risk when purchasing used hardware without testing, professional refurbishment, or any meaningful warranty protection. This mismatch discourages both sides from participating in the used gaming PC market.
Solution
Prenew operates a platform that buys and sells refurbished gaming PCs, creating a streamlined circular marketplace. Sellers enter their PC specifications into an online calculator to receive an instant binding price offer, then ship the computer free of charge using a prepaid shipping label or a supplied Prenew shipping box. After inspection, sellers receive payment within 1–3 business days. On the buyer side, Prenew refurbishes and tests every system so it's ready to play, then delivers it with a 12-month warranty that is handled directly by Prenew's own technicians, not an outsourced manufacturer. If a component fails, the company diagnoses and repairs it within 48 hours, with remote support available for troubleshooting.
Target Audience
Prenew serves gamers and PC enthusiasts looking for affordable refurbished gaming computers, as well as consumers wanting a quick, reliable way to sell their used gaming PCs without dealing with individual buyers or marketplace listings. Both buyers and sellers are primarily price-conscious consumers in European markets.
