Thread: How much can I get

  1. #1

    Default How much can I get

    I want to sell my PC - but I need advice on a selling price before I post it - I have not kept up with PC component prices and don't know what a reasonable price for my rig is. Here is the specs:

    Intel Quad Core Q6600 running on a ASUS P5B Motherboard
    XFX 8800 GTX
    2 Gig RAM - OCZ 800Mhz
    640 Gig SATA - Seagate HDD (160Gig x 4)
    BenQ DVD R\RW
    CoolerMaster Praetorian Case
    Thermaltake 600 Watt PSU
    Thermalright Ultra90 CPU Cooler

    The system is running perfectly and all components is in a 100% working condition - My last 3dMark06 score was 13740

    Reason for Selling: wanna get me-self a laptop

    I don't want to sell the parts separately.

    Thanks

    6000 would be fair maybe 6500. Lets see what others say. It is a good machine.

    "I have not kept up with PC component prices " <--- When did u buy this rig??


    That system cannot be very old, most of those components like the CPU and Graphics card was released within' the last year.


    i would estimate a 2nd hand value of around R6000-R7000 +-

    I would agree but you will do much better selling the parts separately. You will probably find that you sell all the parts this way.

    My advice - throw it on the Prophecy forums. With individual prices. Once you have buyers for ALL the parts, sell it. I am sure you will shift it that way.

    I would not pay R7000 for an entire 2nd hand system...but maybe you will be lucky

    Sell the PC say at R7000 and each week, drop it R100
    That's what I'd do

    Advertise at R7000 and if noone takes it after a few days, say you're willing to sell separately. By then you should already have had lots of requests for individual parts.

    Man that is a really good system.

    I think R6000 is too low for that system.

    Considering the psu, case and gfx - you should be looking for around R7000.

    Just remember thought the longer you keep it the more you lose - so it might be prudent to let it go for a price acceptable to you.

    Nice PC!! I recently bought me a AMD Gamer PC.got lotsa quotes :-) . So I think R7500 would be a good listing price but if you desperate and need to sell it fast just say you are negotiable,and have your lowest acceptable price at hand. I dont think you should sell it less than R6000 though. Its worst more,but then again buying a 2nd hand pc for that price is much.
