You will get much more interest and money if you sell the parts separately. For every one buyer who wants to buy this complete rig you will find a hundred who want the Ram, Blu ray or GPU Etc.... Just pop them on ebay, and take good pictures and give clear description.
Hey thanks for the replies, i was thinking of selling separate but i didnt want to be left with a load of stuff people dont want i was just thinking job lot. hmm any ideas of a figure i should look for?
You need to be realistic about this. If you sell as a whole rig, it will take a LOT longer and you will get a LOT less money.
hmm i see your point, im not sure what i should sell individual parts for? prob should start researching? I know it cost in the region of £3500 to build which is nether the less when selling second hand Any ideas on whats worth what?
Just look up each of the items now to find their current cost and subtract 1/3 Then throw in delivery and you'll have them flying out of your hands
Make sure to tell them your selling other parts and will do a reduced cost delivery deal or something
Hi all Thanks for the tips and advice Decided to sell the Rig as a whole system, its going to be too much hassle to split and post and list etc I will post a link when i have dug out the SLR thats if any of you are interested!
Hi All Finally got around to selling the beast, here is the link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CUSTOM-Gaming-INTEL-i7-940-2-x-GTX-295-12-GB-OCZ-plat-/160490629476?pt=UK_Computing_DesktopPCs&hash=item255dfca964 Any suggestions will be appreciated Regards
I'll just repeat what I said last time which is that you would get a lot more money if you split it. A good example of why are you graphics cards because most people do not want quad SLI due to scaling issues, but by themselves they would go well to folders.
You've listed your pc as an auction. Is there a reserve? What will you do if the final bid is only £500?
A wise Chinese man once said: If you go to the effort of asking for advice, then it would be wise to take it. :=) I reckon the difference between component sale and system sale would of been around £1000. You will struggle to sell a used PC on ebay with no warranty or professional support for over £1000, but people will always buy used graphics cards or CPU's. As there is much less risk and most would have manufactures warranties. If you are adamant about selling complete, then do a buy now with best offer listing. I would expect you would get between £1000 and £1700 Best of luck!
