Hey guys, I've been buildin' pcs for years now, and I'm thinking of building high-end gaming pcs and underselling the big names. I.E. I could build a gaming pc for bout $800+ american, that "Alien Ware" charges $1350 for. Do you think I could sell something like that on Craigslist for like 1100$ and make a 300$ profeit while underselling alienware buy 250$? Or I could even build a p.c. for around 1k that aleinware sells for 1700. SO......just wondering.

(F.Y.I., I know it would probably work out on ebay, but I still unsure on how the whole ebay system works, If you could also give me tips about selling pcs on ebay, I'd be grateful)
 
There are many computer building services out there. You'll have to only not undersell Alien Ware, XPS etc..you'll have to undersell them too.
 
Not only that, you'd been competeing against a very well known and respected company, which is a hrd thing to do, no matter how cheap you sell.
 
ya I no, but the only Comp manufacturer that I know is hard to beat is CyberPower. People can be stupid tho... what about the guy that bought a xbox360 for $10000? lol
 
some people would buy it i suppose, how about offering something different aswell, like a lifetime warranty (labour only) could sway people towards you
 
You know what? I bought an old server (I thought) just at a yardsale, and awesomely enough, the was 10 36gig scsi HDD 10000 rpms in it, and two Intell Xeon 2.8 gig. I just sold the CPUs on Ebay for $250, and a noname P3 with the usual 128 megs od memory and a 20 gig HDD for a $100. It's so cool, and Ebay I would say is the only place where you can really do these things in that manner.
Try it out, and build one or two, and list them with a price reserve so that you won't loose any money. I'll help you out as much as I can, if you need it, but there are some nice Ebay tutorials you can use. Good Luck man!
