Why are you selling it?

60-75% of what you paid for the parts.

Is it a valid retail Win 11 OS license?

Yes, it is a valid Windows 11 pro license Honestly I am just looking at how much my PC is worth but 60-75%! didn't know that PCs depreciate that fast! the parts are worth 2200 CAD but I bought them for around 1650 so would I discount 75% of the 1650 or the 2200?

Second hand, no warranty for most of it.

If you paid 1650, so can anyone else.

What you actually receive is subject to a lot of variables:

How motivated you are to sell...your willingness to bargain. Ask 2000 and let them talk you down to 1800, rather than ask 1800 and refuse to bargain?

Your credibility with prospective buyers.

Your ability to prove what parts cost at retail.

Whether you can prove it was built yesterday

Warranty/return privileges

Local market conditions

On and on...make up more reasons yourself.
 
"worth" is meaningless until someone gives you money.

If it is your PC and you are going to continue to use it, it is "worth" what you paid for the parts.

Selling it to someone else...convince them.

It was 1650 but none of the parts were second hand and all of them were new I got them from places that offer discounts such as New Egg, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, etc. I was searching for deals 24/7 and in the end, I saved quite a bit of money.

You bought it new, but selling it to someone else, that is second hand.

If I were to buy it from you, I'd have no warranty on the GPU. Among other parts.

That's interesting I never looked at it this way but I am a relatively known seller on the Facebook market with a lot of 5-star reviews that are shown to the public I have sold over 10 PC accessories on Facebook and I do offer returns (one time I sold a guy a faulty mobo on accident and I accepted his return right away and gave him his full money back)

Would giving the buyer the original boxes and invoices/receipts still keep the parts under warranty?

I agree with you on that one but I did sell a guy a 5600x and 3060 ti pc for 1650 so I think my convincing skills are up there

Why are you looking to sell this?
Parts is one thing, a whole PC you just built is completely different.

to be completely honest with you I am only looking to sell this pc about 3-4 years from now and by then I might sell it for around 1k depending on the condition and market status

I am in grade 11 right now and I've made quite a profit selling parts but I will probably sell the PC or give it to a family member when I go to uni
 
Consider the following selling methods:

Online, you ship to a buyer you never meet; he pays by Paypal

Online, you ship to a buyer you never meet; he pays by a method more favorable to you than Paypal.

In person; you meet the buyer at midnight in an alley.

In person, you meet the guy at the police department parking lot

All 4 have a different set of issues that will affect the number of interested buyers.
