A less awkward way to sell
The value is in the air conditioner, not the message thread.
Private marketplaces can work, but they often involve writing an advert, answering similar questions several times, arranging viewings and dealing with uncertain buyers. Zarax gives you a single route from the first description through to inspection and payment.
The process is deliberately straightforward. Share accurate information and clear photographs, then we can decide whether the item is something we want to buy. Read how a Zarax quotation progresses before you begin if you would like the full picture.
What shapes the offer
Six details help turn your air conditioner into a realistic valuation.
A precise model matters, but it is only one part of the assessment.
Portable, split or window design
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Cooling performance and included hose
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Age, energy label and model number
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Remote control and window kit
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Noise, leaks and visible wear
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
An honest description helps avoid surprises when the item is inspected. Our guide to how condition can influence an offer explains why small details are worth including.
From first detail to payment
A managed route for selling your air conditioner.
Describe it

Inspect and pay

03
Before the handover
Prepare the item without making the job bigger than it needs to be.
01
Clean the item enough for its condition, labels and fittings to be assessed.
02
Photograph every side, the model label, accessories and any visible wear.
03
Measure doorways, stairs and the route from the item to the nearest suitable exit.
If the item needs to be sent, use the private instructions we provide and follow our packaging guidance. Do not send anything until Zarax has confirmed that it wishes to proceed.

Customer feedback
Real experiences from people who sold their air conditioner through Zarax.
The old air conditioner was too bulky to keep. Zarax arranged collection, checked it and paid the amount we had discussed.
I sent the model number, a few honest photos and details of a noisy fan. The questions from Zarax were sensible, the collection was agreed clearly, and the bank transfer arrived after the inspection.
We had a portable air conditioner left over after moving to a cooler flat, and storing it was becoming ridiculous. I filled in the Zarax form with the exact model, age and marks on the casing. They asked one follow-up question, then arranged a suitable collection. The unit was inspected against my description and the agreed payment reached my account without any awkward renegotiation.
One portable cooler, zero cupboard space. The agreed bank transfer arrived after the condition check. ❄️
Mine was an older window unit with a yellowed casing. I expected that to rule it out, but Zarax considered the details, arranged the handover and kept me informed.
I bought the unit during one very hot summer and barely touched it afterwards. By the time we redecorated, it was just a heavy box blocking a cupboard. I gave Zarax the cooling capacity, age and a close-up of the scuffed side panel. They came back with a sensible figure, collected it without fuss and paid after the inspection matched what I had described.
Useful questions
Before you part with your air conditioner.
These answers cover the parts of the process people usually want to confirm before requesting a quote.
Value my air conditionerStart with the brand, full model number, specifications and an honest description of the condition. Add clear photographs of the item, label, accessories and any faults.
Potentially, yes. Acceptance depends on the item and the fault. Explain exactly what happens when it is switched on or used, and show the damaged area clearly.
Not always. The original packaging, power supply, remote, manuals or matching accessories can provide useful context, so list everything that is included.
Collection may be available when it is appropriate for the item and location. We will discuss access and the handover privately if we are interested in proceeding.
Payment follows receipt or collection and inspection. If the item matches the agreed details, Zarax pays the agreed amount by bank transfer or PayPal. If anything differs materially, we contact you first.
