Value of my computer? (testing waters)

So I'm thinking about getting into the hobby of building, benchmarking, and selling computers and I figured I wanted to get some opinions on how much my computer is worth. Keep in mind that I'm just thinking about doing this so I'm just "testing waters"

My rig specs are listed in my signature, but I'll list them off here as well:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 925 running at 3.4 GHz
MOTHERBOARD: ASUS CROSSHAIR III Formula
RAM: 4 GBs G. Skill RipJaw DDR3 PC3-12800
HDD: 300 GB 10,000 RPM WD VelociRaptor
VIDEO: 2 XFX ATI Radeon HD 4850 1 GB cards in CrossFireX
PSU: Raidmax Modular 850W
CASE: Antec 90
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Note that I'm seeking to advertise to those that are not trying to get ripped off by retail priced "gaming computers" that you see at Best Buy (Really? That expensive?)
 
I would say 500-800 depending on how good of a sales person you are.

Shoot for 800 and don't take less than 500.
 
Well, that power supply is utter rubbish so thats gonna bring the value down to anyone who knows much about computers. GPU's are worth at least ~$100 or so each, Motheboard another $125-150, CPU is prolly worth around $100, Those ripjaws are probably worth around $80 depending upon which timings they are, Case can be worth anywhere from $40-80 or so depending upon condition and where you are located, HDD is worth probably $100-125 or so. I'd say ~$650 would be a fair price used, may be able to get $700-800 though if you try hard enough. Just make sure if you are including an OS, that you give the discs and key for the OS, as otherwise you are breaking the law.
