What would you pay for this Rig?

First off, thanks in advance for your opinion. I’m looking to put this on Ebay and I’m banging my head against a wall trying to price it. I’ve looked each part up on Newegg, Amazon and Ebay to compare to refurbished and used parts. I’ve got a mixture of brand new parts, like case or monitors, with parts that are about a year and a half old. Below are the specs. Thanks again for your opinion. I truly appreciate it.

Case – Brand New – NZXT Phantom 630 (I love this case by the way!)
Fans: Upgraded to Cougar Fans (4x120mm and 3x140mm)
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z77-V PRO
CPU: i7-2600k (OC’s to 4.5 easily)
CPU Cooling: Corsair H100
Graphics: EVGA GTX 670 FTW Sli with Arctic Colling Hybrid VGA Cooler on top card (Never OC’d)
Memory: 16GB G.Skill Ripjaws (4x4GB) DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900)
PSU: Corsair HX1050w
SSD: Brand New – PNY XLR8 240GB Sata III
HD: Toshiba 3TB 7200RPM 64MB Cache 6.0Gb/s
OS: Windows 8.1 Full Edition
Optical: Brand New – ASUS 12x Blu-ray Internal Burner
Monitors: Both Brand New – ASUS VE248Q Black 24" LED w/Speakers
Stand: Brand New - Dual Monitor Planar Black
Keyboard: Refurbished – Logitech G510s USB Wired Gaming Keyboard
Mouse: Refurbished – Logitech G700s USB Wired/Wireless Rechargeable Gaming Mouse

I’ve invested just above $1000 on the new parts (Case, SSD, Blu-ray Burner, Monitors, Stand, Keyboard and Mouse). Is $1500 to $2000 just a pipe dream?

Hello, If it were me, i'd not pay so much for second hand gear.
The processor- even though it is still rather powerful, is an old generation.
So are the graphics cards.
I'd also not use/sell second hand peripherals.
Also, you would be able to get a new system that is better than or equal to(at least) performance wise, for that amount of money. -that's just me though.

When selling a build as a whole., you can expect to get 10-30% less than the current used market value for each part. Even if you just bought a part new, it is now used and will be priced accordingly. Computers have AWFUL resale value. Almost as bad as cars.

YEs, honestly do not expect anything like $1500-$2000 for this.
