Follow the PakDevices flow, one step at a time.
Simple steps
-
Step 1: Choose what you need
Set a budget in PKR. Compare CPU, RAM, each drive, boot behaviour, ports and included peripherals for your intended use.
Remember: Include the cost of missing accessories or fitting in your budget.
-
Step 2: Browse the right category
Open the relevant ads and use search to find a model or item.
Remember: Select the matching category to keep results relevant.
-
Step 3: Filter and sort matching ads
Select the available brand, model, specifications, condition and city filters. Set your minimum and maximum price, then choose a sort order.
Remember: Filters use listing details; they do not independently verify the item.
-
Step 4: Read the ad and ask specific questions
Compare CPU, RAM, each drive, boot behaviour, ports and included peripherals. Ask about repairs, untested functions and missing items before travelling.
Remember: A seller description is not a warranty or independent inspection.
-
Step 5: Contact the seller
Use the available Call, Chat or WhatsApp buttons on the ad. Agree on the item, price and a safe place to meet.
Remember: Keep the conversation related to that ad.
-
Step 6: Inspect, agree and pay
Use the device checks below on the actual item. Ask a qualified person for help with tests you cannot carry out safely. Confirm the bundle, final price and any agreed return or warranty terms before paying.
Remember: A brief demonstration cannot prove long-term reliability. Never share passwords or verification codes; keep a transaction record.
Check before you buy
Open each point to see what to do. If you are unsure how to test something safely, ask a repair technician for help.
Processor, memory and storage
What to do
Ask to see computer details in Settings. Check the processor (CPU), memory (RAM) and each storage drive against the ad.
What you want to see
The installed parts match the ad.
Stop and ask if
Parts are missing or different and the seller cannot explain why.
Start the PC and try it
What to do
Ask the owner to start the PC and open normal apps. Listen for unusual noises. Do not open equipment while it is powered on.
What you want to see
It starts and runs during the test without repeated shutdowns.
Stop and ask if
It will not start, keeps restarting or shows errors.
Ports, monitor and accounts
What to do
Try the ports you need. Ask if the price includes a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Agree on removal of personal files and old account locks.
What you want to see
Needed ports work and you know exactly what comes with the PC.
Stop and ask if
Important items are missing, ports fail or an old account blocks use.
Included items, price and payment
What to do
List everything included. Agree the final price and any warranty or return terms in writing. Inspect before paying. Never share passwords or one-time codes.
What you want to see
Both people know what is included and what terms were agreed.
Stop and ask if
You are pushed to pay before checking, important items are missing or the terms keep changing.
Compare prices fairly
A PC-only price is different from a complete setup with a monitor and accessories.
Ad prices are asking prices, not guaranteed sale values.
Confirm the final price and included items with the seller.
Check the location
Use the city filter to find nearby ads. Confirm the actual location and a safe meeting place before travelling.
Do not send private credentials or advance payment just to reserve an inspection.
Complete your purchase safely
Inspect the item and check included accessories. Confirm legitimate removal of account restrictions where relevant. Agree on payment and any return terms before handover; an ad is not a guarantee.
Never share passwords, OTPs or banking credentials.
