It’s selling season: Windows 10 sunsets, AI PCs surge, and your old rig just got interesting

There’s a weird beauty to tech; one minute your PC is king of the hill, the next it’s quietly collecting dust while a shinier, NPU-packed “AI PC” winks from a storefront. That’s not a tragedy. That’s an opportunity.

If you’ve got last-gen GPUs, extra RAM kits, or a full build you’ve outgrown, now’s the time to move. AEM Labs is making it painless with free seller accounts (no monthly subs) and 0% listing fees live right now. List it, price it fairly, and let the upgrade wave do the heavy lifting.

Windows 10 has officially left the building (end of support was 14 October 2025). Some folks will ride ESU, some won’t; but either way, millions are nudging toward new hardware or clean installs. That shift puts sane-priced, well-specced used parts in the sweet spot.

Meanwhile, AI PCs aren’t a buzzword anymore. Gartner pegs AI-capable machines at roughly a third of shipments in 2025, on their way to more than half in 2026. Translation: lots of perfectly good “last-gen” kit is moving into the second-hand lane, and buyers know it.

And the culture has caught up. Recommerce isn’t niche; UK online second-hand sales are tracking in the multi-billion bracket for 2025, with resale outpacing old-school retail growth. If you can photograph it, describe it, and ship it, it can sell.

We’ve all read the horror threads on Reddit: the car-park no-shows, the “factory sealed” GPU stuffed with cardboard, the chargeback that lands two weeks after you’ve posted the kit. AEM Labs is built to skip that nonsense.

• Real verification, real people: Sellers pass full ID checks before they can list, which slashes the odds of “brick-in-a-box” shenanigans.

• Protected checkout + money-back guarantee: Payments and shipping run through secure flows, with a clear 30-day money-back guarantee if a sale goes sideways.

• Free to sell, 0% listing fees: No subscriptions, no platform tax, the site is advertising zero listing fees, so you keep what you earn.

• UK support when you need it: Live chat, a UK phone line, and help docs if something crops up.

Bottom line: sell your kit without the side quests. List in minutes, keep your margin, and let the platform handle the parts of the transaction that usually end up in a Reddit cautionary tale.

If you’re listing this week and don’t fancy a long wait, start here; these categories rarely hang around:

Keep it honest. Buyers want exact model numbers, clear condition notes, and photos that don’t look like they were taken in a cave. If it’s been repasted, say so. If you’ve benched it, share it. You’ll get better offers, faster.

You don’t need studio lights or a marketing degree, just a clear plan. Do these steps and you’ll be live in minutes:

This upgrade cycle isn’t just hype. Windows 10’s sunset plus the AI-PC push equals more buyers, more reasons to refresh, and more room for well-priced second-hand gear to shine. If you’ve been waiting for a signal, this is it. Free seller accounts, zero listing fees, and a crowd of hungry builders on the other side. List it today, and let your parts earn their keep.
