I'm upgrading my current pc parts and want to sale them to compensate the cost of buying some new upgrades. Could anyone tell me how much would these parts sell for? All of them were bought around 2 and a half years ago.

Good condition i3-4150 cpu without fan

Avexir 2x4GB DDR 3-1600

ASRock H97M Anniversary

I would not believe the 1 year old pc being worth only 50% initial value bs. Thats just not even close, especially when parts are still relevant a year later, like RAM which only changes standards every few years.
If it was 50% at 1 year then I should be finding gtx 1080's for about $330 which just isnt happening.

i3 haswell, 8GB memory, a mother board, I'd say around $100 or so.

Based of that incredibly whack percentage table, a $2000 pc built 3 years ago, is only worth $200 today...or a i7-6950X is worth $100..or a 4790k being only $33.. yea fkng right. That table may have worked before Moore's law kicked in hard, back when everything was becoming significantly faster in 2 years.
Here's a rule of thumb that's served me well over the last 25 years

Rule of Thumb - Take your build cost and then subtract 10% .... then 5% for each month of age for 6 months (60% value at this point) ... then 10% for every 6 months thereafter.

0.5 year old - 60% of build cost
1.0 - 50%
1.5 - 40%
2.0 - 30%
2.5 - 20%
3.0 - 10%

If ya can find sum1 who had a component failure that YOUR part might put his system back to workable condition you should be able to get 50-100% above that. If selling as a bundle, your prolly in the 20-30% of what the selling price when it was new range.
