How Should I sell 2 BRAND NEW Builds?

We thought we were going to stay here in the US and so I invested in components for two new builds which would be used for photo/video media products on Nepal, the country we've worked in for 20 years. Now a turn of events and we are going to be working there and the PC components need to be sold off.

I would like your opinion: Would it be better to build the machines and sell them, or to sell each part as new? Selling as one combined set of components would be a third option.

What does anyone think about how to go about this? Thanks for any advice you can provide. I could sell here or maybe someone knows a forum more fitting for the high end parts I am having to let go; things like Areca Raid Cards and Seagate Cheetah 15k.7's aren't normally sold on gaming sites.

Thanks again!

Thanks for that, If I build then where would I sell a machine like this one with some very high end computing components? I like the idea of putting It all together and selling it to someone who can see the benefits first hand. The concern that comes to mind that once I build it I now have lost my edge that I am selling all new components. What do you think. How about I sell to you at an even better discount and you build and sell it and make a few hundred? Seriously, I would ship you an entire build from top to bottom. Even with an external miniSAS Raid Enclosure to put raided drives into. And I would make the prices so that you would not get stuck, always able to sell and come out ahead.

I see you don't have a gpu yet, I can help you with that!!I have a brand new Evga 780 with the back plate or a brand new 770 4GB with the back plate. The 770 I could offer you at a wonderful price as well as the 780. You wouldn't believe what I can come up with when I find someone who is honest and has a need, that I can help out with.
 
If I had any money right now, i might take you up on that offer, but I don;t have a job and I have $10 in my wallet (unemployed teen). You could sell each component as new and unused, but you probably won't make any money, because most people would rather buy through Newegg or Amazon so that the product can be RMA'd.

True but all of these items have full warranties and they all transfer so no one would be stuck, unable to RMA. What grade are you in. I taught high school math for 10 years during this time in the states. Where are you located.

I wasn't trying to figure out where you were other than to get an estimate on the shipping cost. Sorry if that came across in the wrong way.
