PC Selling Help
« on: August 22, 2007, 09:51:54 AM »
I'm selling my PC i have now to aid paying for my new one, i'll start bidding on eBay UK for a reasonable price.

Can any of the PC pros around here tell me how much i should sell it for approx? The PC I want to get is テつ」405 ($810)

My current has:

AMD Sempron 3000+ Processor (1.8GHz)
MSI K8-MMV AGP/Skt 754 Motherboard
1GB DDR Ram
GainWard nVidia 7800 GS AGP GFX Card w/ 512mb memory (This is one of the most powerful AGP cards ever made, it uses the 7900 Chipset and runs very well for an AGP)
2x 80Gb Hard Drives (IDE)
1x 52x CD 16x DVD Rom Drive
Sound Card with 5:1 Output (Forgot the make)
400w PSU

Its a good PC, quite fast, but i need more  It cost me テつ」500 in parts, the GFX alone is still worth テつ」150

So if anyone can help me find a suitable selling price in テつ」 GBP ($2 = テつ」1 approx for you Americans if you can help)

The PC I'm getting has an E6600 Dual Core and 2Gb ram  (I'm getting a GTS 8800 after a month of the new PC)

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hopefully i can get to around the テつ」300 - テつ」350 mark

I think 450 would be a reasonable starting price.

SS you have no idea do you....

I'm no expert on second hand prices, but I wouldn't pay nothing near 450 for it new....

The max you'll probably get for that is around 200-250. People won't pay that much for a PC like that, and they probably will be scared away about the fact that it's a Sempron

Just sell it though and save up the rest, or sell it later after you have enough

I think they would. You have a nice AGP card, so you have around 100 there.

1GB Ram, people on Ebay think that's good so hey there's that done, if you find stupid enough people you can get 70 off that.

The other stuff (especially 2 hard drives) cause people buying on ebay don't really know about comps that much I guess, think like that.

450 is still a good starting IMO.

I would give テつ」60 for the graphics card
テつ」40 for the ram (tops)
And this is new.....

The hard drive you can pick up dirt cheap, the processor isn't great... so you aren't going to get lots for that

 Storm.. And you'll be extremely lucky to get テつ」300 for that.. I would say about テつ」190 would be okay.. I'll pay about:

テつ」100 for the 7800GFX
テつ」15 max for the RAM because a new 1GB stick is like テつ」20+
テつ」10-20 for the processor?
テつ」20-30 for both the hard drives
テつ」30-40 for the rest..

Unfortunately dude.. Despite how much is cost you back when you bought it, it still would be quite outdated in the day of dual cores and SATA hard drives.. You might have a little for luck IF you sell it piece by piece.. If you just bundle all of them together, you might less..

Edit: If your mobo was an SLi then it's even better but its not..

Oh.. Wait.. Yeah.. Sorry.. My mistake.. I forgot that SLi uses PCIe 16x.. And I thought that the 7800GFX was a PCIe card.. Didn't read the AGP card part..
