How much does my PC cost?

Apokarteron · 11-22-2005, 12:15 PM

I really want to get an iMac G5 but I haven't got the money...
I'm thinking of selling my PC, how much do you think it should cost? (look below at signature)

Why would you want a G5?

I'd say around $500-$650. Depending on where you sell it.

WHAT???

I was expecting like $1500

Sorry to dissapoint you, it would have been worth $1500 many years ago. My system is only worth about $500.

For $1500 nowadays you could get:
Pentium D 2.8ghz Dual Core
2GB DDR400
6800GT 256MB
Audigy 2 ZS
300GB Hard Drive
DVD Burner
ect.

I would try selling on ebay, but keep a reserve price,say around $500 - $600.

this i sold for that amount.

p4 2.6ghz
1gb ram
geforce fx 5200
floppy
dvdr burner
cd burner
zip drive

speaking of eBay, i previously sold this computer for only $450:
P4 3Ghz w/ht
1GB DDR400
ATI 9600XT
CD Burner/DVD ROM
Audigy 2 ZS

So i'd set a reserve of $450-$500, but you cant guarentee that it will sell for that much.
