Thank you, you two for your support
. I decided to list 1 more computer, this time a Pico-ITX desktop, and it can be seen in my list of items for sale, which can be seen here. http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZgav24v

I think you're looking at it wrong. He might not have said it in the most objective fashion, but then again I'm not exactly known for my PC postings either.
The facts remain: You're an amateur Your ebay listings look the "I'm an amateur" part Your prices are too high Your quality is too low People have no incentive to buy off you... except maybe other kids. You're hoping to make a quick buck like all the rest of the hosers out there. tlarkin and I come at it from a different perspective. We deal with the people who buy off people like you. We hear all the crap. We're trying to help you and them. You don't want to listen. You think you've got it all sewn up. You configure a system, out of mediocre parts, take their money, wait for it to be transfered out of your Paypal account, use the money to go to your local computer store or whatever, sell it and three weeks later they might actually get it. It's a piss poor way of doing business and you're a poser. If you can't deal with it, that's fine... But don't bash tlarkin for being honest. |

With all due respect, most of the computers you're selling are very low quality. You should focus on higher end builds using the latest mid to high range components. A good pricing model would be Cost + 15%. This would allow, roughly, 5-6 % for associated Ebay and PayPal fees, and possibly 9-10% profit. If a PC costs you $1,000 to build, you'd sell it for $1,150, for example. I don't think that's unreasonable. Make it very clear to your customers that you're offering *limited* support and ship the products faster. Three weeks is ridiculous.
The pocket PC you're marketing is extremely underpowered and way overpriced. In fact, stay completely away from VIA products. You can build a quality, quiet HTPC with an Intel or AMD chip, using a mATX mobo. Playing online games and using that pocket PC as a media center, is, at best, a strech. I'm assuming the integrated graphics are awful on that board. I admire the fact that you're 17 and attempting to start a business. I wish you the best of luck. The Q9300 build was a good idea, but you're not going to make any money selling those < $500 computers. Focus on good quality HTPC products and gaming rigs. ![]()
