So, I have a totally unopened Intel i7 4770K. I got it for a pretty good deal of $250, but now that the 4790K is about to be released, I was thinking of selling the 4770K and getting a 4790K. I don't really want to sell on ebay or amazon, because they take a large cut of money. What do you guys think is the best place to sell components?

Any online classifieds like craigslist. I think toms has a section for that kind of stuff to, but read the rules of it first, I know they've changed them a bit since I last looked at them.

Yeah, that'll happen on those sites. People are looking for dirt cheap deals 
.
How long have you had it up for? It sometimes will take a month or more to sell something once you post an ad.
It's going for $334 on newegg, so even at $250 that's a nice deal!

Well, this is where I'm torn. The 4770k and the 4790k both use the z97 chipset, so I can use the 4970k on the z97 motherboard that I already have. If I go with the 4790k now, it'll last long enough that I can just skip broadwell all together, and not have to get a new mobo.
Like I said, I haven't even opened the 4770k yet, so I can probably sell it for like $10 or $20 cheaper than stock (I hope.) I wouldn't mind paying 20 bucks to get +500MHz and in the long run, I'll be saving money skipping broadwell. Since I got the 4770k for $250, that's an $80 discount. If I sell it for $320, that means I can buy a new DC i7 for 20 bucks.
Oops, turns out Broadwell will actually be based on the 9 series chipsets. That's good, I guess.

Yes broadwell will be useable on z97 and possibly even z87 if they provide a bios update..although I'm not 100% certain of that. I mean if you can flip the CPU and get what u paid or a small loss then upgrade but if you end up having to lose money to upgrade....its not that big of a deal. You're not going to be seeing any true tangible benefits from that extra base clock speed.
Got it for $250, I definitely will be able to flip it profitably.
By the way, if I were to list it on tom's forum for sale, how much do you think I should list it for? Do you think I could list it at just maybe 10 dollars under list price and still sell?
