Posted June 12, 2023 I am flipping this older office PC (Dell Inspiron 3847) as a super budget entry level gaming PC and I spent a total of $75 for parts. What do you think is a fair price for this PC? I don’t want to rip anyone off. Specs are in the photos. Parts cost breakdown: $45 AMD Radeon RX 550 $15 Intel 256GB SSD $15 1TB Seagate HDD Тhank you for your answer. It really helps me!

Posted June 12, 2023 I mean maybe $120-180 depending on prices in your area - those prices in your list don't count the case, motherboard, CPU, etc. Laptops for sale: [FS] [US] Vintage laptop collection + parts - Classifieds - Linus Tech Tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 12, 2023 are we all just going to ignore that the motherboard IO plate is gone? also, i would pay a decent amount, little proprietary junk, a decent 350 watt PSU, decent expandability, a upgrade path to Broadwell (i think) and a CD reader (just rare to see those now). similar spec OEM systems go for ~$150 refurbished (fancy word for used anyways) so try $130?

Posted June 12, 2023 Tough to say in your area, but I sold a similar system for about 70$, but mine had an upgraded PSU as well. -edit- The only reason I built and sold the system is that I was clearing a ton of old parts out. I had recently been given an office system with a 4770/16GB ram and wanted to tinker one weekend. It sat for sale locally for 150 for several weeks before I just dumped it. I knew I would not ‘break even’ so the only thing I spent money on was a standard ATX PSU to Dell proprietary 12VO. I would not recommend flipping old computer systems unless you have a very particular market in your area. Or, if you just enjoy working on them but realize you aren’t actually going yo make money on them. -end edit- Probably not what you want to hear, but semi-upgraded office PCs are a dime a dozen.

Posted June 12, 2023 if you spent $75 (I assume the rest of the computer was a free dumpster find) then it's worth maybe $100 for your trouble.

Posted June 12, 2023 It completely depends on location, but I pick up systems similarly specced anywhere from $50 to $100, I would expect it to settle for around $75 for quick sale.
