1. Go to your local classifieds.

2. Realize you live in the middle of nowhere so nobody sells PCs.

3. Cry yourself to sleep.

 

There is no step 4 or 5 as step 3 is all you do ?

Still, prices from other areas are irrelevant. If you have no market, then you should just price extremely high and lower it until someone buys it.

Getting prices from other regions more often than not will simply screw you over. For example, where I live now I got $400 for my GTX 980. Where I lived before, I'd be lucky to get $300, because the market is much more saturated.

Processor 3.3ghz i5-2500 (4 Cores)
8gb Ram DDR3
250gb Hard Drive (Windows 10pro)
DVD-RW
22" Wide Screen Monitor
(have many different 22" Monitors to choose from)
 This was posted for $180 so would $270ish be reasonable?

Doesn't really sound like a worthwhile endeavor to be honest, especially for hardware that old. You're more likely to lose money or a considerable amount of time.

Eh, you might break even, and that's likely from parting it out. Still not really worth the time and effort involved to make maybe $30.
