How Much is This Worth

[SkyPhantom]

At the end of November (Black Friday) I built my first PC to replace the Dell Inspiron 5675 I had. Since then, I've been trying to sell my old PC to little success. I've had it listed at $500, $450, and $400 on craigslist, ebay, and facebook. I've only had a few offers: one guy pulling out the day of the deal and one guy called "fortnite fbi" trying to trade me his xbox. The specs of the system are as follows:

 

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1400 3.20 GHZ

 

Motherboard: Whatever crap thing Dell puts in their PCs

Memory: 8 GB DDR4 2400

Storage: 1 TB SATA 7200 RPM

Optical Drive: Tray Loading Dual Layer DVD Burner

Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 570 4 GB GDDR5

Ethernet/Wifi: Gigabit

Power Supply: 460W

Case: Recon Blue, solid panel, blue lighting

Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-Bit
 

Any tips about how I should price it and other general tips about selling things online (this is my first time) would be greatly appreciated.

400$ is correct , when u selling something always be patient (make some video showing the pc fully work and when u make the packaging if u ship it)

I'm only seeing about $350 here, but if I were you I'd leave it at $400 and maybe make some tweaks to your listing. First off, clean that thing inside and out. Nobody is going to want a machine that appears to be neglected, but if you really spice it up you'll grab peoples attention. Picture quality is another big deal, use the best camera you have available (high end phone camera will do) and make sure you have adequate lighting. Take this for example. Decent enough machine, good price, but shitty quality pictures, makes it look like a poor mans rig. Then look at this one. Marginally better than the previous one, good price, beautiful pictures. Do what you can to make it look nice and make it known it's a gaming rig. A title such as "Dell Inspiron 5675 Gaming PC" should be sufficient.

Thanks for the advice. I redid the posting with some better pictures and threw in a "gaming" keyboard and mouse. Fingers crossed I can get rid of this thing soon.

I would put some fps information at the bottom like X game high 80fps or smth similar. Also upgrade to win10 pro, that might convince somebody to buy it.

I have put some general fps info, but I suppose some more details for the Fortniters and Minecrafters never hurt. IMO Windows 10 pro isn't really for the average consumer and anyone who does need it probably isn't looking for a used, prebuilt gaming PC. Most people don't really account for the cost of windows when looking at PCs, so if I were to upgrade it and add the extra cost into the price it would look like a bad deal to most people.

Is it true that you can't upgrade dell desktops yourself?

I mean would it be possible for a buyer to upgrade that cpu?

I was told dell don't make it easy for people to upgrade stuff but I wanted to know for sure from someone who owned one.

I've always been on the HP train.

I don't see why it wouldn't be upgradable. It's got a pretty standard X370 motherboard. I'm pretty sure most prebuilt desktops are upgradable. Heck even the new Mac Pro is upgradable.
