PC components' Price Check

[Oddvar Ashborn]

Hey there folks, before posting in the wrong section i wanted to be sure... is there a place here where i can ask for a price check on PC parts?

If by “here” you mean the internet there are a bunch of places.  They work generally by taking a cut of any resulting sale.  None of them are totally complete.

 

does LTT have a price check web crawler? Very possibly.  I’ve seen pcPartPicker used by people giving build advice here.  It’s one of them.  LTT may also though.  If they do it’s possible it’s weighted for Canadian purchaces. I don’t know.  There may or may not be much of a difference between the two economies for buying computer hardware.

By "here" i meant on the LTT forum. I wanted to have a clearer idea of what i can expect from the stuff i have left.

“expect” and “stuff” are still vague to me.

 

im going to guess you want the classified section.  There are sections for various components but they are separated by component.  You’d have to talk about each component separately.

 If I wanted to know what pricing is for various components inside the USA, then eBay might be the best option, choosing “completed auction” to find out what final prices were.  Still component by component though.

For price checking I would recommend using PcPartPicker, it gives you prices from various online retailers and allows you to price out full builds.

The only people that can give you accurate estimations of price are those that live in the same place (down to city) that you do. Unless you're selling online, in which case go to where you're selling it; the Reddit Hardware Swap has a price check area, and eBay lists recently sold prices. 

 

All you'll get here are extremely broad guesses based in what that person would want to pay. It's not at all accurate.
