Hi folks, I'm looking at building myself a new PC, but in order to afford it, I need to sell my old one. Actually, I need to sell my old one anyway, I don't want it lying around gathering dust and losing value until it's an expensive paperweight. I payed quite a bit for it, considering what it's actually probably worth these days (bad timing of purchase, argh), so I'm expecting to lose quite a bit to depreciation, more than usual.
Basically, I've never sold a PC before, so my question is, what's the preferred way of going about it? Junkmail? Classifieds on forums? Word of mouth? Also, how do you get it valued? I would think, compare to retail price of each respective part, and subtract xx% because it's second hand? But if that specific part is out of production, what then?
Is there even a market for second hand PC's? Do people prefer to buy a whole rig, or individual parts? In terms of money, how do you avoid getting scammed? Etc Etc.
This is a rather general question, but just for clarity, it's a mid-range gaming rig. Specs:
