Selling computer parts online?

[Scruffy90]

Where is the best place to sell computer parts online?

 

How do I figure out what a good price to sell parts at is?

 

Do I sell say a desktop as an entire component or as individual components?

The best place to sell is the place where people in your area typically buy things online. Some places are big on Craiglist, while others use Let Go. Meanwhile up here in west Canadian land, Kijiji and Used.ca are very popular.

 

A good price to sell the parts for would be whatever the going rate is for said parts, or whatever the lowest dollar you'll accept for the part would be.

 

Selling a full desktop with Windows installed and ready to go will be easier since the majority of people are not super tech savvy. You can always say "willing to part out components for the right price" on your ad too.

Craigslist or eBay.

 

 

Prices depend on what you're selling, maybe I can suggest some.

 

 

If I were you, I'd say in the description that you can either sell the whole thing or part it out (but give a small discount if they buy the whole thing).

Apologies, used.ca is the site. It's actually my favorite platform to use, since it's run by a local newspaper company, and is decently designed compared to Craigslist and Kijiji. It's only available in certain select Canadian cities though.

That's where a good market prospection comes in to place. You need to strike a balance between selling the product fast enough and making a decent profit.

You need to know the recent events that are happening in the PC world (new part coming out, stock shortages etc.). Having a look at proces of similar components and how well they are being sold also helps a lot.

I'd argue Craiglist or whatever the equivalent of your local classifieds is your best bet. While eBay can be a nice avenue, you also have to hope you don't get a scammer who buys your item and no matter how well you pack it and send it, they claim it came defective and demand a refund. And eBay being eBay, they usually side with the consumer over the seller.

You can go with the average price you can find on say eBay or whatnot. But generally when I put up a starting price, I consider the following:

• How does it perform against other available hardware and the value of said hardware. This is the biggest one. For example, say I somehow have a like-new GTX 980 purchased at MSRP way back when (so about $550-$600). Considering a GTX 1060 6GB performs about the same, it makes no sense to set the starting price no higher than the GTX 1060's price.
• How old it is
• How much use it got
• If it's still under warranty (though warranty transfers are usually non existent so I don't know how much of a point this makes)

I'd rather sell the entire unit because it's easier to get rid of everything. There's not a large market for used cases or power supplies. Though if someone wants to buy say the storage or video card, then that may be worth considering.

Depends where you live but selling old parts works really well on eBay.

LTT Classifieds is the easy way to sell your computer parts to educated and eager customers who appreciate the value of technology products . Okay now its time for the sponsorship jokes to stop .

 

But for real, LTT classifieds is good so long as your pricing is good. I've sold quite a few things on there.

 

eBay is good for laptops and things that are not very mainstream.

Usually if I'm unsure, I'll make a new thread and ask. And then use the general consensus as a starting point.

I'd say offer both as options.
