The problem is the mix of higher end components that people won't notice and lower end components that they will.  Somebody looking at a pentium system isn't looking to spend $700.. They're looking to get away with a couple hundred.  When I see "pentium 8gb ram 1tbhd no video card" I think ok.. $200 max for a used system. But there's $450 worth of case,psu,motherboard.

Your asking price is basically the full cost of the system minus windows.  Perhaps you could try to part it out, sell the pieces separately.

Hey! First of all, if this isn't the right section, sorry and move me to right one. ^^

So, basically, I have this computer that I want to sell. Now, the thing is, I don't know how much I should sell it for. I've put it 700$ on Kijiji, but I'm not sure if it's a good price. Here's the build. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/DHvb3C

There's no graphics card (as it's in RMA and I want to keep it). Is 700$ too much? How much would be a good price considering that I don't want to sell it for dirt? Thanks!

You'd be better piecing it out part by part, but if you did sell the entire thing in one go, you'd be lucky to get $500, realistically.

I see. I guess I'll do that then. Check price new and used and price accordingly.
