It's time for Ikaros to fly away

 

I could use some help putting a value on her. Here's the PCPP:

My thoughts:

The i3 is worth $90-100 on eBay. The mobo is worth around $60 used, the RAM is worth about $30, the HDD is worth about $45, the 750 Ti is worth $80-100 here (used GPUs go for a premium), the case is worth $20, the PSU is worth $15, the DVD burner is worth $10 and Windows is worth $30.

 

I might, might replace the laptop hard drive with a 250GB 3.5" WD drive worth around $20, but I think I'd have a hard time selling a light gaming machine--and the 750 Ti makes it a light gamer--with that little storage available. I'd rather hang onto the laptop drive, though.

 

So that puts my total at $380 on the low end. For whatever reasons, computers go at a pretty nice premium here, so I'd probably list it at $500 and see where I ended up. Is that a reasonable number, and would you guys leave the 5400 RPM laptop drive in or go with a faster (but 66% smaller) 250GB HDD?

People only care about cpu/gpu/hard drive when buying a whole system/used. I would think $425 ish would be the most people would pay for it. I would say if your doing an auction like ebay, list a little below your min price, it will the climb into your expected range. If you are doing a normal sale, just list what you want and if no one buys lower the price till someone does.

I'm sorry, I didn't read it carefully enough
