How much could I get for this?

[Metallica17]

I want to sell a Biostar P4M900-M4 motherboard and the processor with it. The processor is rated at 3.0 GHz(I don't know exactly what processor it is). It has the fan on the processor already. The motherboard is just sitting on my desk and I don't need it. I'm thinking 80 bucks but is that too much?

I won't want it even you give me for free...

Lol...

Well it's impossible to know what it could be worth without knowing the CPU. Like daisymtc implied, you probably won't be able to get much out of it.

Doesn't it say on the CPU the Make+model???

It should, looks like he's got a heatsink + fan on top of it at the moment.

It is either a 3GHz P4 Northwood chip, or Celeron D 345

Both of which are a pile of...well they aren't very good any more, and the celeron especially wasn't any use even when they first came out.

I just did a google search for them, and came up with both together being ~£50, which is ~$75, but remember parts are more expensive here, so you will be looking at a bit less. That was with the P4 btw, you will be seeing maybe £10 less with the celeron chip, so about $60, and they are all from retailers, so mark it down even more

I would say around $50 at most

 

[Metallica17]

Yeah Aastii it's the Celeron processor. I remember it now. I guess I'll try and get 50 out of it.

the Mobo you can get from 100-180, I have seen them go for.

There is no way. The mobo isn't even that good. And it's used so I doubt I get up to $180 for that.

I really doubt this.

 

[daisymtc]

Motherboard is LGA478, CPU probably be Celeron D/ P4 3GHz...

The cheapest $33 AMD Sempron 140 is faster than that. For motherboard, you can get a dirt cheap mobo @ $45 to run AMD Sempron 140. And that mobo could run phenom II CPU
What is the point of spending $80 on a outdated cpu + mobo??
I suggest you sell it seperately for $30-40. There may be some ppl want a replacement of their malfunction component.

They wouldn't go for that all seeing as how that is the price of the brand new boards, as in your AM3, LGA 1156 and LGA 1366, and this board and CPU is, by todays standards, ancient

6300

So thirty to forty for each piece, the mobo and processor? So I could get around $60 at least?

You wont get squat, i bet on ebay you wont even get a bid.

 

[fastdude]

ha, don't break his heart, I've seen a P4 @3.0 Ghz go for £42 on eBay UK. I think the guy was collecting intel chips for a collection though

Somebody out there wants a direct replacement for their non running CPU/mobo. The problem is getting lucky and having him or her bid on it when you put it on eBay. Otherwise, like you wrote, newer is better and cheaper.
