A less awkward way to sell
The value is in the projector, 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 projector into a realistic valuation.
A precise model matters, but it is only one part of the assessment.
Resolution, brightness and throw type
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Lamp hours or laser-light usage
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Image, focus and connection ports
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Remote, mount and power cable
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Lens, casing and working condition
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.

Customer feedback
Real experiences from people who sold their projector through Zarax.
A projector from an abandoned home cinema plan found a buyer through Zarax. The lamp hours were checked and paid for.
I listed the resolution, connections, lamp hours and a faint mark on the lens cover. Zarax assessed those details, asked me to send the remote too, and paid after testing the full set.
The projector had been used for a handful of film nights, then stored in its case for over a year. I submitted the model, native resolution, lamp hours and included accessories, along with close photos of the casing. Zarax reviewed the request and agreed a price for the projector and remote. I followed the private delivery instructions, the equipment passed inspection and the bank transfer arrived for the agreed amount.
Movie nights had moved to the television, while the projector stayed zipped in its case. Time for a change. 🎬
I could not find the remote, but the unit worked from its own controls and had a recent replacement lamp. Zarax considered it on that basis.
Our projector was brilliant in the old living room and completely impractical in the new one. It still produced a sharp picture, although the fan had become louder and the lens cap was missing. I photographed the image against a plain wall, checked the lamp hours and included the ceiling bracket. Zarax reviewed the full set and paid the agreed figure following inspection.
Useful questions
Before you part with your projector.
These answers cover the parts of the process people usually want to confirm before requesting a quote.
Value my projectorStart 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.
Do not send the item before receiving confirmation. If we wish to proceed, the receiving location and delivery instructions are shared with you privately.
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.
