Selling system for ???

Go to solution Solved by Sorenson,

From my experience you. aren’t going to be able to sell it for more than you could build a comparable system for. Ive sold 3 computers on craigs list, all of which cost around $1500 to make, for around $1200-1100. 

 

the computer you have specked out there would probably go for around $500.

So since starting my business of building PCs for people, I realized I don't have a lot of time to game on my PC and the games I play are getting a bit boring. So, I decided I should sell it to get some money for it. Maybe in the future I can build another PC for cheaper due to prices of hardware, especially SSDs and RAM, getting really cheap compared to when I built my rig. So, here are my specs. (Also, I've used the PC since January and have kept it clean). What is a fair price to charge?

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (Can OC to 4.1Ghz)

Cooler: ARCTIC Freezer 33 Esports EDITION (Dual 120mm Fans)

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SC ACX 2.0

MOBO: ASUS PRIME B450M-A/CSM

RAM: Team T-Force Vulcan DDR4 3000 CL16 16GB (2x8)

SSD: ADATA SU800 Ultimate 1TB SSD

PSU: Corsair CX550M 80+ Bronze Semi-Modular

Fans: 4x120mm 3-PIN Orange LED Fans

Case: DIYPC-F2-O MicroATX MiniTower

OS: Windows 10 Professional (Fully Activated)

Awesome, if you are planning on selling it on craigslist watch out for people who ask you to ship it. Also some people try to meet you in person then lowball you, so agree on price before meeting up.
