Going to Sell My Old System, How Much Can I Get?

[Or Nah]

I already have a price in mind, but I was wondering what you guys think. How much should I expect to get for this system?

CPU : i5 4570
CPU Cooler : Stock
RAM : 8GB DDR3 HyperX 1600Mhz
GPU : EVGA GTX 760 Superclocked
Motherboard : Gigabyte B85M-D3H
PSU : Coolmax 650W
Case : Some random case
HDD : 500GB 7200RPM

Have used this sytem for about a year, still runs like a champ.

$20?

The components look good except the Coolmax PSU.

Ask for about 70% of the original parts cost and deduct the cost of a replacement PSU.

I would think $300 to $450 based on the following: -- Is it Windows 7 or 8?
NEW Value (51% value)
CPU 204 105
RAM 60 30
GPU 190 96
PSU 65 33
HDD 50 25

Windows 7. And yes I was planning to sell it with a price of $360.

There's an easy way to figure out how much you can get - take the price you paid for the system, salvage value, and how long you have owned it.

Then the formula works like this:

Asking price - salvage value / life of system = depreciation rate

Then subtract the depreciation rate from the price of the system for each year you have owned it. That's the value. If you sell it over, it's a gain on sale. If you sell it less it's a loss on sale.

If you want a real approximate asking price for that PC, build it on pc part picker and lower the price based on how long you think you've used it

Stop guys, I posted this for YOU guys to give me an opinion price. Not to teach me how to calculate used value.

Ok... a good price would be $400

Alright, thanks for your input.

Where are you going to sell it? Ebay would buy it for maybe 500$ if you say it's a "gaming computer"

I don't know yet, probably craigslist or something. I think my friend also wants to buy it as well.

Its worth exactly what you are willing to let it go for, and what someone is willing to pay. That number is different for everyone. I wouldnt give you 100 bucks for it, but thats just me, I would never, ever, buy used PC parts. But, I do think that a fair asking price to start with is about 375.

There's no such thing as just guessing on an exact price - the method that I posted is relatively easy to figure out and will give you the exact book value of your PC. Anyone can have an opinion price for a PC, but without knowing the exact value of how much you paid for your PC to begin with, they will be wrong 100% of the time. This is something they teach you in basic accounting classes.

$380? The coolmax PSU will prevent anyone know what what it is from buying it .

True, that's something that would kill just about any sale. :lol:
