I was browsing on amazon and the prices for my components are still ridiculously overpriced.

My system:

4770k @ 4.2ghz
Sabertooth Z87
GTX 780 Classified 2-way SLI
H100i Water cooler
32gb 2133mhz Corsair Vengeance RAM
Corsair Air 540
Corsair ax1200i
Samsung 840 EVO 500gb SSD
1tb Seagate HDD (don't remember which one)
And a 500gb WD black HDD

I wouldn't expect to get anything lower than 1600 for this as a whole. Thanks in advanced.

I have a Sound Blaster ZxR too, I doubt I'll sell that but I might.

If I missed anything let me know please

Those are asking prices essentially. What they actually sell for is an entirely different matter. And a lot of people use ebay as a storefront.

Doesn't really change what it is you are selling. If you can convince someone to buy it for that price, by all means.

All used, so you aren't going to be getting retail prices. And pretty much everything here is still available for purchase brand new. The build comes to about $1600 new, so you aren't going to see that. Might ask something like $1200.

That's of course failing to take depreciation into account. An actual system using the deprecation formula ((price - salvage value / life of system) * (mo/yr of sale)) would look something like this:

Price: $1750
Years owned: 2
Salvage value: $500

Year one: ($1750 - $500) / 2 = $625
$1750 - $625 = $1125

Year two (if selling in February) : $1125 - ($625 *2/12) = $1020.83

So you can expect your system to sell for around that rate.
