How Much Is This System Worth?

[volkgren]

How much is this used PC worth?

How much would you charge your ex-girlfriend who refuses to take it without paying you for it because she needs it for work and school (creative design) but she is mad at you and doesn't want you to do anything nice for her?

(She makes more money than me, by almost double last year. But she is a single parent with a child, which isn't mine.)
*Update: Oh, I forgot she also lost her work-from-home job recently, but they may start back, might not. She just got a job with UPS for the holiday, still making more than me.

Blame me all you want for paying $14 for Windows, but hey at least I paid for it, and there's nothing I've seen out of the half a dozen I've bought from them in the past year or so that makes me think it's anything but legitimate (other than being suspiciously under-priced.)

At least $14 to get your money back for the OS. On a more serious note I think $300 is fair for both you and her.

Yeah I was thinking 50% off for being used, but that seemed too much. $300 seems fair. Thanks.

I was getting more like $350. It's the 580 that has any value. I think those used are still $175-$200. The rest of everything else is worth $100+. More like $150.

As for what I'd sell for my ex, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Lol, well she doesn't even want to pay me $300. She said I should come and get it. I checked the 580s on ebay and they are listed for as low as $140 (that Nitro+ model) and several sold recently for around $120ish. The mining craze has really hit their value.

 

[WildCard999]

As long as that RX 580 4gb wasn't mined with I'd probably buy it off you for $160, been looking at AMD cards since I'm getting the LG 29WK600-W (Freesync).

 

[volkgren]

It was bought and used for mining. My AMD cards held up much better than my Nvidia cards. Probably because it was easier to modify the bios and power settings.

 

[WildCard999]

Oh ok, well thanks for being honest! Probably going to grab a Powercolor RX 570 4gb for $145 new at MicroCenter.
