Computer price help needed

[Poundshop Dave]

My lad wants to sell his PC, he has bought a gaming laptop. Anyway, he wants to advertise it and is unsure on the price. He does not want to sell bits off it here and there, he wants the whole thing gone as a system.

Anyway.

Intel I5 4460 - this is the processor (CPU)
ASUS H81-Plus - this is the motherboard
Palit GTX 770 2 gb - this is the graphics card (GPU)
EVGA 650 GQ - this is the power supply (PSU)
Patriot 8 gb 2133 - this is the memory (RAM)
Seagate ST2000DX001 2gb hybrid - this is the hard drive
IHAS dvd drive re-writer - this is the dvd drive, apparently good for xbox?
BENQ GL2450 - this is the monitor
Acoustic Energy Aego M white - this is the speakers
Cooler Master HAF 912 - this is the case


All up and running, any idea on a price that he could reasonably ask?

If you want more money, sell it by parts not as a whole set.

I sold a 10 years old intel Q6600, with a MB, 8GB of DDR2 RAM, HD 4850, the PC case and some other bits, for about £220 total. If I wanted to sell it all at once, I'd never get even close to that. Someone even paid me for the box LGA 775 intel cooler.

The 8GB of DDR2 RAM (4x2gb) alone went for £65.

Fleabay (i5-4460): https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X+i5-4460.TRS0&_nkw=+i5-4460&_sacat=0

Break the computer for parts. Other bits of your list also seem valuable in the UK. I can see way more than £250.

Thanks RhynoCZ, yep I think he will probably do that, as he said no way was he going to take £250 as the Speakers and processor alone cost him that.

I dunno, kids why he bought the blessed thing just to sell it 6 months down the track is beyond me.

[CaNsA]

He'll regret selling the pc in a few weeks.

[RhynoCZ]

CaNsA is right though. Well, it does depend on what some define as gaming, but a mid-range desktop will always outperform a high-end (way more expensive) laptop. Plus, a desktop is easily uprageable, just swaping the GFX cards as the time goes, maybe adding more RAM in the process, and you're desktop PC will be good for gaming for a long time.

Does he have the original boxes and packaging?

[Poundshop Dave]

Right this is every box he has. Nothing for the graphics card as he says he bought it from CEX and it did not come with one, same with the ram. The DVD drive came in a plastic bag OEM from a computer show, motherboard came from an online supplier that dealt with oem and it came in a brown generic box and has no back plate? The rest is as you see in the pictures.

Yes gaming on the laptop will be crap in comparison. Meh, computer bits depreciate heavily, only if they become rare/sought after do they hold their value (like the x58 mobo in my intel system). My CPU/RAM are virtually worthless (the cooler's probably worth more).

Pro tip: throw the DVD drive in the bin.

If he's only going to sell it as a whole then he'll quite a bit less than he could by selling parts individually.

CPU boxed will sell easily.
Motherboard and GPU will sell although the prices will reflect the fact that they were cheaper when he bought them because of the lack of boxes and in the case of the motherboard, the lack of a backplate.
RAM will be easy enough.
PSU will sell.
The tower will sell.
HDD would sell but he might as well keep it and put it in an external caddy.
Someone will buy the monitor.
The speakers might sell.

Have a look on eBay at sold listings to see what prices he could expect to get.

Computer parts sell easily on BCF when they're realistically priced and remember you won't be paying 10% in eBay fees.

If he puts parts on eBay with buy it now listings then most of it will sell over the weekend.

www.parcel2go.com is good for delivery.

How much the speakers and processor cost him doesn't come into it.

Ok, thanks STE and all those that have posted. Kids do your head in, he'll sell it then regret it then build another one and sell that and repeat.
