[SOLVED] Fair price for :PC

[stephenlatimer7]

Hi all.

For a few reasons I may have to sell my PC and am wondering what a fair price would be. Big range depending on brand but wine is a home build. Key stats are below. Looking for guideline price. Its a homebuild about a year old

AMD Ryzen 1700
16 GB dd4 memory
Asus AM4 motherboard. No spare slots for exatra Ram but unliely to be needed
256 Samsung Evo SSD and 1 TB Seagate SATA
Gigabyte 1060GTX 6gb GPU
Soundblaster Audigy RX sedicated Sound Card with digital out
BR read and write optical drive
650 watt PSU (I think)

Newly put into a large Rio Toro case which has tons of space and stays quiet and cool.
Running Windfows 10 Pro
Also have a 4k monitor which could be included if need be Samsung U24E590

Have seen similar builds from different companied butbgi range in price so a guidline would be helpful.Can get specifics if need be but hope the above should be good enough to give a fair reference price

Thanks in advance

Ryzen 1700 - $100
Ram - $85
Mobo - $50
GPU - $150
Storage - $50
Soundcard - $10
BR drive - $10
PSU - $20
Case - $30
--------------------------
Total $505 - This is what I would pay for your system but I am a bit aggressive with the pricing, so you can probably get an extra 10-15% if you market it well.

I couldn't find a monitor with that model number.

Where are you getting them prices from They are outrageously low and not accurate in the UK,. Understand its second hand but that seems drastic.

If you can get them prices you have struck oil!

Thanks for input of course and look forward to others

Monitor should have been U24E590. Original post ammended

I am not sure how those prices would translate over to the UK but this is what I was able to find on eBay if I were to buy used parts and build this system based on the info you provided. I didn't look up the sound card and BR but that's because I honestly wouldn't care about them, so I put $10 each.

If your psu is 80+ platinum and your ram is 3200 and your mobo has wifi, that would justify an extra $80.

Nice monitor. You can probably get $260 for it.

Here's a listing for a complete used system from eBay,to give you an idea, that I was outbid on by $150. My max bid was $1000. This has a much better cpu, gpu, ssd, and mobo.

I think the price is what buyer are expecting to pay. however you could use the latest equivalent part price * 75%. case/psu/ram/hdd doesn't hold much value.

you could also do the 2600/rx580/16gb with budget psu/case/ssd for 660 new (excluded os),
I mean you could use msrp * 75% to fool normal buyers,

however, most TH users are experienced, a similar gaming pc brand new cost 660. how are you going to convince them to pay higher.

Generally speaking, around 50% of new price is a good starting point. I think your graphics card could do a bit better than a 50% reduction, and according to what speed the RAM is. You (might) come out better parting, but as a whole system would likely work around that benchmark. Many people don't want to take a chance with a "non namebrand" item built by Joe Plumber.

If you spec your system out on pcpartspicker without the monitor and Windows it comes out at about £900 roughly based on the info you have given (and that's priced for new parts) and since the parts are second hand now you need to take off about 25%. So about £650 - £675 if the parts were split out and sold separately, and probably £600 for the system.

I don't know if it's the same in the UK, but, at least in the US, parts warranties do not generally carry over to the next owner. So, that can also lessen the price somewhat.

Warranty protections might be better in the UK, though.
