What we sell

Every item that goes out has been through the workshop — tested, photographed and described honestly. We’d rather lose a sale than mis-sell something.

Retro consoles

Refurbished consoles and accessories from across the generations — recapped, retro-cleaned, tested on real CRTs where appropriate. Honest condition reports, no “works perfectly” when it doesn’t.

3D printer parts & accessories

Hot-ends, nozzles, springs, sensors, mods and consumables. Curated for the kind of upgrades and fixes we use ourselves on our own printer fleet — nothing on the listing we wouldn’t fit at home.

Test equipment

Oscilloscopes, multimeters, signal generators, bench power supplies and lab gear — ideal for hobbyists, makers and students kitting out a workshop. Every unit is functionally tested and calibration is noted where known.

We’ll buy your broken kit

Got dead hardware sitting in a cupboard? We’ll often pay for it — even if it’s “not working” — because we can fix and resell what most people would scrap.

Things we’re actively buying

  • Retro consoles & handhelds — broken or working, original or modded. Game Boys, Mega Drives, SNES, N64, PS1/2, Dreamcast, original Xbox — the older the better.
  • 3D printers & spare parts — broken Prusas, Enders, Voron parts, hot-ends, control boards, steppers, anything you’ve pulled out of a project.
  • Test & lab equipment — old scopes, multimeters, signal generators, soldering stations, anything with a mains lead and dials. Working or repairable.
  • Vintage hi-fi & audio — amplifiers, receivers, tape decks, turntables, even if they’re cosmetically rough.
  • Component lots — capacitor kits, IC stocks, project boxes, salvage boards. Clearing a workshop? Send a photo.

How it works

  1. Send photos and a description Tell us what it is, what’s wrong with it, and roughly where you are in the UK. Email repairs@harktech.co.uk or use the contact form.
  2. We’ll make an offer Within one business day, we’ll come back with a price (or politely decline if it’s not something we can use). No pressure, no obligation.
  3. You post it to us — we cover postage If you accept the offer, we’ll arrange the collection or send a pre-paid label. You don’t pay anything to send it.
  4. Payment on receipt Once it arrives and matches your description, we pay by bank transfer the same day — or take it off the cost of a repair if you’re part-exchanging.
Part-exchange welcome. Sending us something for repair? Got an old item gathering dust that we might want? Tell us — we’ll often knock the value off your repair invoice instead of paying you cash.

Why buy from Hark Tech

The eBay marketplace is full of unknowns. Buying from a workshop with a fixed name and a public website should mean fewer surprises.

Workshop-tested

Everything we list has been on the bench — we know what works, what doesn’t, and we describe it accordingly. No “sold as seen” cop-outs.

30-day return window

If something we sold you isn’t what we said it was, you have 30 days to return it for a full refund — over and above your statutory rights.

Real workshop, real name

You’re not buying from an anonymous handle. Every listing comes from the same Basingstoke workshop, the same person, the same eBay account.

Listings change weekly — consoles getting flipped after a recap, printer mods we’ve printed too many of, test gear from estate clearances. Worth a browse.
