// THE PRIVATE-SALE GAMBLE
Why a desktop off Facebook Marketplace is a gamble
A cheap Dell on Gumtree, eBay or Facebook Marketplace can look like a bargain — until it arrives. With a private sale you have no idea how the machine was treated, whether the drive is on its last legs, or whether Windows is even properly licensed. And if it dies a week later, there’s no one to call.
The most common things that catch people out buying a desktop privately:
- A tired, failing hard drive — often the original spinning disk with years of wear, ready to fail.
- An unlicensed or “not genuine” Windows that nags you or stops updating.
- The previous owner’s data left on the drive — a genuine privacy risk for both of you.
- No warranty and no comeback — once the money’s gone, it’s gone.
A properly refurbished machine from a local firm removes every one of those risks. If you’re weighing it up, our honest guide on whether it’s safe to buy refurbished applies just as much to desktops.
// PROPERLY REFURBISHED
What “refurbished” actually means at 365 Techies
We only refurbish business-grade Dell OptiPlex — the desktops built for offices, not budget consumer boxes. “Refurbished” is an overused word, so here’s exactly what every OptiPlex we sell goes through:
- A brand-new Samsung Pro SSD with a 5-year guarantee — fast, reliable storage, never a worn-out old drive.
- Securely wiped and fully tested — every port, fan and component checked before it leaves us.
- A clean, licensed copy of Windows installed fresh — genuine and ready for updates.
- Graded honestly A, B or C so you know the cosmetic condition before you buy.
- any remaining Dell warranty where applicable plus 365’s own 5-year guarantee (with a support plan).
Prices start from £510. To see the current range and photos of real stock, browse our Dell hardware page or the second-hand office computers we keep for local businesses.
// MICRO · SFF · TOWER
Choosing the right OptiPlex size for your desk
OptiPlex desktops come in three shapes, and the right one depends on your desk and what you plug in — not on chasing the biggest spec sheet. In plain English:
- Micro — tiny, hides behind a monitor or clips to the back of it. Perfect for a tidy home office or a shop counter where space is tight.
- Small Form Factor (SFF) — a slim upright box that still takes a disc drive and a few extras. A great all-rounder for most desks.
- Tower — the roomiest, easiest to expand later and best if you run more demanding software or want extra drives.
Not sure which suits you? Our Micro vs SFF vs Tower guide walks through it, and if you’re comparing ranges, OptiPlex vs Inspiron explains why business-grade is the safer buy. We’re always happy to talk it through on the phone first.
// SET UP & SUPPORTED
We set it up, move your data and support it after
Buying the box is the easy part. The bit most people dread — getting everything moved across and working — is where 365 Techies genuinely helps. When you buy an OptiPlex from us we can:
- Transfer your files, email and settings from your old PC so nothing gets left behind.
- Set up Microsoft 365 at £4.85 per user, per month if you need it.
- Get printers, scanners and Wi-Fi all talking to the new machine before you sit down at it.
And if you’d rather never worry about it again, our support plans keep it running — from home IT support at £18.25 a month to business IT support from £24.38 per computer. Down the line, if a fan or drive ever plays up, our OptiPlex repair service is around the corner too.
// WHO IT’S FOR
Home offices, shops and small businesses across Dorset
Refurbished OptiPlex desktops suit almost everyone who works at a desk: home workers who want a reliable, quiet machine; shops and cafes needing a solid till or back-office PC; and small businesses replacing an ageing fleet without the price of brand-new. Buying business-grade refurbished is the sensible middle ground — our take on refurbished versus new applies to desktops just as well.
We’re based in Kinson, Bournemouth (BH10 7LH) and cover Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and the wider Dorset area, with local collection and on-site setup. Need portable instead of a desktop? We also sell refurbished Dell laptops. Retiring old machines? We can handle secure IT disposal at the same time.

// GOOD QUESTIONS
Frequently asked
Do you sell brand-new Dell desktops too, or only refurbished?
Both. We have been a Dell reseller since 2001, so alongside tested refurbished OptiPlex desktops from £545 we can order brand-new Dell to spec through our Dell account manager. We will help you weigh up refurbished value against a new build, and set it up and support it either way.
How long will a refurbished Dell OptiPlex desktop last?
OptiPlex desktops are built for offices that cannot afford downtime, so they last well — and with a new Samsung Pro SSD fitted you can typically expect years of dependable use, backed by our 5-year 365 Techies guarantee (with a support plan).
How much is a refurbished Dell OptiPlex desktop in Dorset?
Refurbished business-grade Dell OptiPlex desktops start from £545 at 365 Techies in Bournemouth. Each comes with a new Samsung Pro SSD, clean licensed Windows and a warranty. Call 01202 775566 to check current stock across Dorset.
Is it safe to buy a refurbished desktop instead of one off Facebook Marketplace?
Yes — and it’s far safer. A private-sale PC has no warranty, an unknown history and often a worn-out drive or unlicensed Windows. Every OptiPlex we sell is securely wiped, fitted with a new SSD, tested and warrantied, so there’s always someone to call if anything goes wrong.
Do refurbished Dell desktops come with a warranty?
They do. Our OptiPlex desktops come with any remaining Dell warranty where applicable, plus 365 Techies’ own 5-year guarantee, and the new Samsung Pro SSD carries a 5-year guarantee of its own.
Which Dell OptiPlex size should I get — Micro, SFF or Tower?
It depends on your desk and what you plug in: Micro for tight spaces, SFF as a slim all-rounder, and Tower when you want room to expand. Our Micro vs SFF vs Tower guide explains it, or call us and we’ll match one to your setup.
Can you move my files from my old PC to the new desktop?
Yes. We transfer your files, email and settings from your old computer, set up Microsoft 365 if you need it, and get printers and Wi-Fi working before you sit down — so switching over is painless.
Do you deliver refurbished desktops around Poole and Christchurch?
We do. We’re based in Kinson, Bournemouth and cover Poole, Christchurch and the wider Dorset area with local collection and on-site setup. Call 01202 775566 and we’ll bring the machines to you — or meet at the Kinson Community Centre by appointment.
