How much is this computer worth?

clintman02 · 10-16-2007, 05:21 PM

I'm looking to get a new computer, so I'll be selling my current full tower setup. Here's what it includes:

-P4 3.2 Ghz
-Ati Radeon X850XT Agp graphics card, 512 MB
-MSI 875 Neo Mobo
-2 80 GB HD in Raid
-DVD Drive
-CD-R Drive
-Audigy 2 Soundcard
-Wireless internet card
-1 GB of Kingston DDR 400 Ram
-450W PS
-Microsoft Windows XP Professional
-Microsoft Office Student Edition

It is a great computer and runs perfectly, it's just time for me to get a new one. I have a computer place in town that buys used computers.

My question is, What would be a fair price for this computer? Thanks in advance!

Why you getting rid of it, feel like wasting money? What do you want 120 fps in counterstrike instead of 110? Give it more ram and you will be golden. !BAM! saved you 1500$

Well, I've had the computer for about 4 and a half years now, and I'm just preparing for the future

My current mobo doesn't support pci express, so I'm turning in. Any ideas on how much it's worth though?

Thanks for the comments of course!

I'm in the US, but I'm hoping to get around 450-500, being it has office and xp pro with it as well

We'll see what happens I suppose.

You cant really include software into the price, because they may end up reformatting it before selling anyways. I would keep it and use that on your next build.

As for the price, you should get about $400 or so for it, depending on how much they take off of the actual value for themselves.
