Ordered new parts, what should I sell the old ones for?

AlphaOmegaX · Oct 17, 2015

Sorry if this is the wrong thread but I just ordered a new case/cpu/mobo/gpu and I'd like to get rid of my old stuff but I don't know what fair pricing would be.

Case: NZXT Gamma
CPU: Phenom x4 925
Mobo: Foxconn A78AX3
GPU: Sapphire Radeon 6970
Ram: Corsair XMS3 ddr3-1333

Thanks everyone.

Search on ebay for those exact items, and see what they actually sold for.

Didn't think of that thank you!

As a rule of thumb, I would suggest that you take the cost of the part when it was bought, and then deduct 7 percent for depreciation, from the original cost.

This may work if you are selling the parts the next day. For anything older, it's more like 50% of original cost if more than 2 years old and goes down from that.

That makes sense to me. As for Foxconn, I personally wouldn't buy anything they make.

Foxconn the retail brand, or Foxconn the assembly/manufacturing plant?
If the latter, you probably already have.

I did buy a Foxconn Motherboard advertised as new. When it arrived, I found a big scratch on the back of the motherboard, one of the RAM Slots was non Functional, and I could not fit the screws into one of the standoffs for the motherboard.

I'm just saying a LOT of other peoples stuff come out of Foxconn factories. So you probably already have one or more.

That likely does not really have anything to do with Foxconn, but the seller. Was this an ebay sale? Or a retailer? Was the motherboard sealed in the box and static bag with factory seals?

I bought it at eBay. No it was not sealed. I got my money back,thank goodness.
