How Much??

[xMKproductions]

How much could i sell this PC for that i built myself?

Also, what would be the best way to sell it? All parts are brand new, purchased just to build this PC.

Generally less than what you spent unless you find some sucker to buy it.

Why would you build just to sell if you have zero idea of your target market?

true, but a gamer.. looking for a PC is obviously the target for this build. lol

Most people in this category will just build their own, at less cost than you'd be looking for.

so then, realistically how much you think i can get for it?

lets say some "sucker" doesn't buy from me..

£1,000-1,100 tops, more likely to be in the £800-1,000 range I reckon.

Depreciation is a bitch!

In the US we have Craigslist and Ebay for selling stuff. Not sure what it would be over there.

Did you build this computer expecting to just turn around and sell it? If so, why spend all that money without having any idea about the actual process of selling it...? Seems like something you should know before spending a bunch of money on something that is potentially/likely a loss.

Sell the graphics card alone.

I would normally suggest selling the PSU and the case together but you have a high-end PSU and a nice case there so I'd probably sell the case and PSU alone too since people may be looking for those individual parts.

I'd bundle the CPU, board and RAM because there will likely be more people wanting to buy those together rather than searching for the individual parts (especially since they're previous generation parts).

You can sell any SSDs, hard drives or optical drives alone.

You could throw the CPU cooler in with the CPU/RAM/board bundle or sell it alone but maybe offer a discount or combined postage if they buy both. People might be after a good cooler. Have you still got the stock cooler for this i7? If so, put it on and sell the CPU/RAM/board bundle with the stock cooler, but mention you have the H100i for sale too.

Somewhere like eBay would probably be best. That's where people tend to look for used stuff. I managed to flog an old i5 760/ASUS P7P55D-E/8GB DDR3 1333MHz bundle for way more than it was worth a few years ago on there. I think I got nearly £300 for it which is easily £50-100 more than it was worth at the time!
