Question For how much should I sell my spare mobo, cpu, gpu and ram ?

[LoudCerealEater]

I currently upgraded my pc and I am looking to sell my spare parts or would it be better just to make a whole new pc with them and sell that pc instead? What do you guys think? the current price I have listed is $500 but that may be too overpriced.

here is a list of the parts:

MOBO: MSI-Z390 A Pro
CPU: I5-9600K
GPU: EVGA RTX 2060 6GB
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GBs of ddr4 ram

500 for those parts alone?

You can't make a PC with just those parts.

You'd have to come up with more parts and then assemble them into a working PC. Do you place any particular dollar value on your labor required to do that?

Your location and local market conditions will matter a lot.

If you sell piece by piece, it's quite likely you'll end up with a part or 2 that nobody wants.

GPU: EVGA RTX 2060 6GB $150.00
CPU: I5-9600K $66.38
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GBs of ddr4 ram $69.99

MOBO: MSI-Z390 A Pro $79.99 Total $ 336.36

This is the lowest prices I could find on your parts.

But here is the kicker anyone looking at your posted parts at $336.36 would start just moving to new parts with throwing in just a little more money.

There is nothing wrong with your parts as a whole, just the new parts vs used parts ratio.

If you want to move them you have to get into the mindset of the person likely to buy them. This is someone fairly knowledgeable about computer hardware, enough to be able to take parts and assemble them. And someone who is looking for a deal.



Listing them high is likely to result in little action. One good way is to try and sell them with shipping included, that way you can undercut others. Obviously that postage should be within reason or region limited.

Right now, i5-12400, 32GB of memory, a B660 motherboard and an RTX3050 are $500

In the past I've always sold GPUs separately and CPU/motherboard/RAM as a bundle.

GPUs get bought by people who just want to upgrade their GPU. CPU/Mboard/RAM get bought by people who are either upgrading a PC or putting one together.

Bundling the GPU as well limits the market in my opinion, because you miss out on people who would buy the bundle but don't want that GPU for whatever reason, and people who want that GPU but don't want or need the rest of it.
