Thinking about upgrading to a new machine? Well consider Dell Trade-it-in !

Three easy steps:

1. Calculate your personal Dell trade-in quote.
   Click to accept, set up a personal trade-in account and agree to the Dell trade-in program terms and conditions.
2. Print a free shipping label and mail in your items.
   Print your shipping label, pack your goods as advised, affix the label on the package and mail your items in.
3. Receive a payment for the current value of your goods.
   Once they are received and confirmed, you'll receive a payment for the current value of your goods.
