We're not currently buying consumer AMD Ryzen.
Honest answer up front: AMD Ryzen and Threadripper consumer / desktop CPUs aren't part of our current buy list. ChipFlip focuses on Intel Core (i3, i5, i7, i9) for fixed-price consumer buyback. EPYC server CPUs are a different story — see below.
EPYC server CPUs — yes, on quote
Modern AMD EPYC — quoted on receipt
EPYC Naples (1st gen, 2017) onwards — Rome, Milan, Genoa, Bergamo, Turin. Pulled from data-centre or rack-mount servers. No fixed list price — send a breakdown of generations and counts via WhatsApp / email and we'll quote on receipt. Paid by Faster Payments after testing.
This applies to all server-grade CPUs — see sell server-grade Xeon for the same flow on Intel server chips, and sell ECC server RAM for the matching DDR4 / DDR5 RDIMM / LRDIMM.
What we do buy (fixed price)
i3, i5, i7, i9 — 3rd gen onwards
Fixed per-generation prices, no haggling. See the full Intel Core buy list →
DDR4 & DDR5 UDIMM — 8GB sticks and up
Priced by capacity, not speed or brand. See the consumer RAM buy list →
256GB to 12TB
M.2 NVMe, 2.5" SATA, U.2 — priced by capacity tier. See the SSD buy list →
Why no consumer Ryzen?
Running a tight catalogue lets us hold consistent fixed prices, test rapidly, and pay quickly. Consumer Intel Core has the highest unit volume in UK pulls — it's what we know inside-out and can resell most reliably into the secondary market.
Consumer Ryzen has a strong secondary market but with a different buyer pool and pricing dynamics. We'd rather do one consumer CPU range really well than a wider range patchily.
Server-grade is different — we already test and grade Xeon Scalable / E-series, and EPYC fits the same flow. Server CPUs are quote-on-receipt regardless of brand.
Selling consumer Ryzen elsewhere
If your batch is mostly Ryzen consumer chips, you're better off going to a buyer who specialises in AMD desktop — search for "sell AMD Ryzen UK" and you'll find a few. eBay, CEX, and r/HardwareSwapUK also work for individual chips.
If your batch is mixed (some Ryzen consumer, some Intel Core, some EPYC server), send us the Intel Core and EPYC sides and sell the Ryzen consumer separately.
