Selling old parts, is this a fair price?

I would ask 250, 16gb's of ram is not cheap. That exact kit of ram is 80 dollars new. So that's about 130-150 dollars in ram alone. Not to mention you have a working board and a still decent CPU for a mid range gaming PC.

Yeah, I think you're just a little bit low. $225 to $250 does seem fair. You will almost always get a lower offer so it gets you a little room to negotiate.

Post it at 250 and you will get lower offers so go as low as 200 or 225 if you can.

I agree with the others. I would ask more to start with. If you get no hits, then allow best offer.
Check ebay/auction/ending soonest and see what they are getting bids at.

It's gonna cost near $200 to replace the 16GB of RAM alone. Your USED DDR3 has gone UP in value. Are you sure you want to sell?

Is there really anything that PC can't do? An upgrade to an i7-4770K would be a lot cheaper than whatever build you're planning.

 

[DSzymborski]

I'd probably start by asking for $300 and negotiating down from there.

It's rare when someone here *undervalues* their parts!

Dunno because you have 16GB of RAM. In context for 16GB of DDR4 you're talking 200 new.

Thats DDR4, we are talking about DDR3 so we are looking at round 150 for that exact set.

Still more than they paid though

Yes, but your referencing 16gb's of DDR4 which is much more expensive than DDR3 so that 200 new pricing is not relevant to the OP's DDR3

Where'd the OP go?

Lol, probably tying to process all of this information. Or trying to sell his stuff.

The last part for my upgrade comes in today and I will be putting it together tonight. As soon as it I have the upgrade done, I'll be putting the old parts up for sale. I'll try for the $250 selling price. I'm going to list the parts locally and hope for the best.

Did you read all the other comments? If you would have you would know the OP is listing it at that so the OP has room to drop the price a little.
