FS: New list of PCs on eBay

Garethman!!` · 05-17-2008, 01:22 AM

I decided to try out something new on selling computers on eBay, and thats looking at people who sell custom builds, and spec them a little bit more, and charge a little bit less. So here are the new list of computers I am selling. One is an auction, 7 are buy it now, with 5 in each. Please let me know of thoughts, improvements etc, as I am just getting started with my eBay business.
The list of computers are here.

maybe you could put links on the ebay page to other product info (like a newegg page) and actually tell us the name and model of the mobo.

I have added motherboard brands and names to every auction now

Your listings seem very clear and thorough.
My only suggestion would be to offer a range of cases to your customers,
and possibly to open up an eBay store - you can organise your systems into catagories etc and start to build a reputation.
This is me speaking from my experience of selling computer parts on eBay UK.

Indeed, I plan to open up a store within the next month or so. On the cases, I will definitely start adding the options to change cases in the next batch of PCs I put on.

I do have a question though, on the stores, do you pay less to list items or not pay at all?

I think if you got a cheap case that screams the "Custom" pc look. Such as the NZXT cases, or something along those lines that aren't a hefty price.

That would catch some eyes

Something such as that for the medium to high end models and

and that for the cheaper models?

ThatGuy16 · 05-18-2008, 12:26 AM

Yeah, or the NZXT Apollo to save yourself money. You'd be surprised at how many people would buy a computer just by the looks of the case.

It's a good buy those cases my Hack Pro is using one and woza slap two apple stickers on each side and you have a Mac Pro at your feet. But for gaming why 8500GT sell a 8800GTS 512mb or 8800GT 512mb GDDR3
