I built this PC during the Summer. I'm in school, so I decided not to put in a Graphics Card.

Gonna try to sell it on Craigslist, here in Lubbock, TX.

$1,000 would be nice.

You should sell it for however much you can, obviously.

That's not worth $1k though, not even close. I wouldn't give you $500 for it.

 

[eyob]

 

[chugot9218]

Yes, no overly spendy parts and none that are extremely desirable, and the fact that it is used, no matter how long, instantly removes lots of the value. 500$ would be a pleasant exchange lol.

 

[amateur1337]

Dont sell it cuz its not worth to sell...you wont get much since its used...plus no gpu...i would better build one for even less money and all benchmarks would be better...

 

[Derza10]

Considering you could buy all those parts new for $600-$700 I don't see how you could expect to get $1000 for it. As others have said, I would expect you could get somewhere around $400-$500.

 

[larrym]

Yea..I was thinking $400 - $450 would be lucky.

[computernewb]

it might be easier trying to sell each individual part instead of the whole computer. I sold parts of my old computer pretty fast on ebay. anyways good luck!

 

[eyob]

I'd have to add some $100 GPU to make it complete?

If I was selling on this site, I could understand these prices. But to people who don't build a PC, I figure someone would be estatic about 4.5GHz.

So why are you asking us anything? If your plan is to trick someone into spending way to much for what you have why bother asking us what its worth?

 

[chugot9218]

Except that a user like that will have little to no concept of what that represents anyways... anyone who knew what that number meant is likely to do some research on it.

 

[eyob]

I'm just surprised at the current speculated worth.

 

[chugot9218]

As soon as you open and install a component, you might as well drop about 25% or more of its price. Add in the fact that they are previous generation components and you lose even more value. Unfortunately that is just the way things go, you can try and "scam" some extra cash out of an unsuspecting buyer, but I find that unethical, if you were not so informed you would be quite upset to learn you had been tricked into buying an inferior/overpriced product.

Or imagine someone did the same thing to a family member, especially an older one who is very unlikely to be informed....

 

[Derza10]

Adding a $100 GPU would make it easier for you to trick someone into paying more than its worth, but I would not recommend doing so, or at least I would feel bad about doing it lol.

But that won't guarantee a sell and you could just be putting yourself another $100 in the hole.

 

[FinneousPJ]

Like someone said, I could buy those parts new for $600-ish. Did you really expect people to pay extra for a used system built by Some Guy on the Internet (tm)?

 

[eyob]

Parts cost $550. I'll start at $600, and hope to get $500 ??

Before reading these comments, yes.

 

[Derza10]

I think you would be lucky to get $400-$450... I guess it won't hurt to start with a high asking price other than it won't sell... I still don't see how you are expecting to get all of your money back for used (last gen) electronics...

 

[eyob]

Aside from the Crucial SSD and lack of PCI 3.0, I honestly don't see these parts as outdated or soon to be outdated.

I've had it for 6 months. I don't see much difference between new and used, since there is no noticeable difference.

 

[Derza10]

Yes but you are asking full price and then some for used parts...

 

[chugot9218]

Sell it at whatever, just giving our opinions, sorry if you do not like them. Your CPU is SB, which is 1 gen back from current, and their sockets will be rendered obsolete with the next gen of CPU. That PSU is absolute junk, I'd be replacing that as soon as I received it. No GPU, small SSD, I do not see much value in this system considering what is now available.

And yes, it is not that they are bad parts, it's that they are used, and your asking price is near what a full system with the same/similar new components would be going for.

 

[eyob]

I tried merging the SSD as cache with the HDD. But it seems difficult, and fully capable with Ivy Bridge. But I have Sandy Bridge.

 

[FinneousPJ]

Before reading these comments, yes.

Eh, it's not impossible. You just need to find a really stupid buyer

 

[eyob]

I posted it at $500 and 4.5GHz in the title. Maybe I'll get a quick buy.
