Advice on selling pc parts

katy323

Hi i built a new pc about 6 months ago buying all of the individual parts i'm now wanting to sell it but i have never used anything like ebay before.

Am i best selling the processor, motherboard, RAM etc individually or selling it all as a whole?

Is ebay the best place for a price i would get?

thankyou

Hi how much do you want for it ?

Assuming you still have the boxes for all the seperate parts, your likely to make more money selling them individually, selling as a pc, people are less interested in what spec you have added to it, preferring to buy as a package deal.

Make sure you list the parts correctly to prevent a buyer not being happy as the item wasnt as described,

Okay if i sell them individually where can i get the anti static bags cheap for the RAM, processor etc? (Ive probably thrown them)

i wont sell it on ebay i would use amazon there are a lot more computer boffins and the fees are better for the sale

why dont you just chuck on ebay as is with a minimum reserve on it or a minimum start price then you get what you want for it? if you get no bites then you know you have to sell as bits but beware you may sell some of your computer but not all of it then you will be in a bit of trouble half a computer and not all the money you needed as well.

also i would check what it would cost you to buy these bits new now then you would have a true value of it only as a new machine then have to allow some off for second hand etc etc if you see what i'm saying.
