I'm wanting to sell my old PC to a friend. I've been offered R1500 for the following components and am wanting to know if this is fair. If market value is less then I'd rather not rip my friend off... :o

AMD Athlon 3200+ @ 2.0GHz (s939)
MSI RS480M2-IL Micro-ATX Mobo
1GB DDR400 RAM
Nvidia 6600GT
120GB HDD
Antec Sonata case w/ TruePower 380W
LG DVD Writer w/ Lightscribe
19" Samsung CRT
Windows XP Pro

Thanks in advance!
 
I think R1500 is fair. You dont wanna give it away for nothing. R1200-R1500 is fair in my mind.
 
I would push for closer to R2500-00, but only because it includes a 6600GT (very good IN ITS DAY), and a monitor.

New computers, you'd be looking at approximately R1500-00 for an entry level machine which would perform just below yours for every day tasks and quite a bit lower for games, and it doesn't include a monitor OR an operating system. Plus, the hard drive would only be 80GB. How much of it is still under warranty? That could help to convince him that the increase in price is justified
 
500 for 6600gt? your joking right?

you can get card like a 7300gs for 300 bucks and it kills the 6600gt

that 6600gt is worth 100 bucks

1.5k is fine for that system i think

Maybe for newer games, but 6600GT does better for older games

I think so too.

You'd be lucky to get R200 for an old 6600 these days.
 
I think you could get more than R1500, but it is a fair price.

A 6600GT isn't worth R100, you could easily get R200+ in the Cape Ads.
 
Yea I have a 6600GT in one of my pc's and it runs TF2 okay'ish... Cant really see the difference between that and my 7600GT :P
 
If money really isn't an issue and you really like your friend, R1500 is a dam good deal for all that IMO. ;)

Otherwise if money isn't an issue for him and he really isnt your friend, I would say R2 R2.5k no problem :D
