Estimate for my custom PC and ways to sell?

[facadewithin]

Looking to sell my custom unit to upgrade to newer hardware. Its not that old but I am an enthusiast, so the newer the better. I'd LOVE to sell this as a whole unit, but during my years of building I have built whole systems for local clients and never had to sell online, or part out(usually give old parts to other pc's in my home or friends+ family), but if i HAD to part it out i guess i could, i would just rather come as close to selling as many pieces as possible at the same time before i would want to build the new one

Trying to get a good value to sell this at, and if anyone knows good ways to sell that helps too. Im worried about getting scammed locally through craigslist, and through paypal.

All parts except the mobo are less than a year old, the mobo is almost 2.

You'll make a lot more off this if you part it out. Otherwise it depends on where you're listing it. I've built/refurbished probably around 50-60 towers in the last three years between craigslist and ebay. It's a good 30-40% of my income, but I apply sales tax of course as I'm operating as a repair business.

Anyway, ebay you're more likely to get closer to the actual tower's worth, and if you have patience I'd only list it as buy now. Auctions can be a hassle and rarely lead to full value. Craigslist CAN be close to full value if you find the right customer(within an hours distance of you) but usually leads to low balling and non serious inquiries.

If ebay you could possibly see a solid $1,200-1,300

If craigslist, I'd LIST it at that and consider offers you'll receive. Whether or not you list it as "or best offer" you'll receive offers lol. More likely to see offers of $800-1000. And a thousand is really stretching it, as 98% of people browsing craigslist don't have that kind of cash to blow. If they did, they'd buy new.


::EDIT::

Side not I'd also suggest, with items this expensive it's usually ideal to throw in "freebies" to entice the deal a bit. I like to keep a few of these handy, to throw in for free if the tower sells now. Just an inexpensive way to maybe grab someones attention.

That seems really low. The 980Ti itself is less than 2months old and i still see people selling that by itself for 650-670. I'm including windows 10 licensing which is still 100 itself, and the i7 3770k was a good bin and i still see those going for ~200+ so that right there is about 1000$.

It feels like selling is really just getting ripped off at that point

Let me peep some knowledge off on you. Just because people are selling, doesn't mean it's sold. I see people selling 980ti's around $450-500 on craigslist, and there's even no certainty that they'll get a bite.

Like I said before, you'll get a lot more for the tower overall if you part it out. This takes time and resources(which usually can be free if you handle via craigslist and other free advertising.) Listing it as an assembled tower will limit your offers, as the majority of buyers are people looking to upgrade their current tower. People buying used are looking to get a deal, and will pass up listings that are too close to retail value.

Very high end towers that command a price reflecting that will sit, until they're either removed by the owner, or the owner comes off the price. Way off. I've been that owner, and know many who have and also continue to be. Anything that can make a worthwhile profit valued at sub 1K can be a decent venture when patience comes into play.

But as I've said, parting it out is the best option. There's a steady buyer population for it, and you'll make more. Just usually not all at once. List things as combos, such as the processor, memory, mobo(heatsink too possibly) list the power supply and case together, often makes for a quick sale if the PSU is of quality, which yours definitely is.

::EDIT::

Side note, the one medium that defies most logic is the classified listing section on this forum. You may very well find a fellow enthusiast willing to make a realistic offer.
