Debating on selling my current PC on eBay

trey25 · Nov 11, 2018

I’ve used eBay for many thing but never for selling a PC. I have a 100% positive rating on eBay and thought I might try to sell my current rig which is decent, but I’d like to put the money toward an all new system that I would build myself.

Here are my questions:

1. Is this even a good idea?
2. If so, what would be a reasonable asking price?
3. Lastly, any advice for selling a PC on eBay.

Here are the specs:

Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V LX ATX LGA1155
CPU: Intel Ivy Bridge i5 3550 3.3ghz
GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 6GB SSC
Ram: 16gb DDR3 1333
HDD: 2TB
SSD: Samsung 128gb w/ Windows 10
PSU: Corsair Builder 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

A system that old, sell it locally.
ebay fees and shipping would eat up far too much.

It's a pretty old system. The GPU is worth more than all the rest combined.
Sell the GPU by itself, and flog the rest on craigslist for $200 OBO.

TBH, and as stated, the only part of that with any 'real' value is the GPU. A friend and I recently built up some workstations with better proc than that for sub $75 including a (much lesser) GPU. IMO the best thing to do would be to pass the karma and gift to someone who needs a computer.
