| 1292987 | 2012-08-05 00:07:00 | I am buying a new computer and advertised my old one on "Trade Me". Starting bid $3000. Result, not a single bid, not even a question. Seems buyers on TM are only interested in goods at a charity price. What do you think is a realistic price for this? Antec 1200 case ASUS P6X58D Motherboard Board. Intel 980x cpu 2 x 480 Gigabyte Vid cards in SLI 12 gigs ram 1200 PSU \ CVX Colossus SSD hard disk. Plus 3 TB's of almost new 720 disks.Not installed Windows 7 64 bit. With disk 3 LCD Monitors. 26 22 and 19 inch HP 1600 colour laserjet printer G 15 keyboard, mouse and all cables Buyer can even have my desk if they want it. I'm selling everything because I'm buying a bigger desk and two 30" monitors The SSD is partitioned into two drives, and is big enough for my needs The computer is about a year old and has been overclocked to 4.2 since new. Runs at about 60 degrees. No problems.:clap Jack |

For the CPU you'll get <$500, $350-$450 for the GPU's (each), $100 for the case? (cases can be a ***** to sell), $150-$200 for the psu on trademe, if there's 3x 1 tb hdd's you'll get 80 for each hdd, Depending on the size of the ssd you might get $100-$150, keyboard is worth like $40, motherboard isn't worth very much purely because no one uses the 1366 platform, ram is ram so unless it's running at a high speed im going to say $120 (10*12) depends largely on how many sticks there are (2*4gb is worth a lot less than say 1*8gb), probably won't get anything for the printer, the bigger screen is probably the only one worth anything won't get much for a 19" also it depends on what the resolution of the 26" and 22" You're probably looking at closer to 2k without the screens. |

| 1292991 | 2012-08-05 03:49:00 | The vast bulk of Tradme buyers are looking for low price, and those looking for a bitchin' gaming rig would likely look elsewhere and buy new kit. Being USED it is only going to appeal to budget shoppers at a budget price, so the 3 screens are a deterrent, as are the 2 GPUs, abundant HDDs, and the crazy 12GB of RAM. You'd have better luck if you stripped it down to a mid spec gaming rig, and sold the other bits individually, or if you built another box from all the extra bits. |

If a CPU that cost $1600 a year ago is only worth a third of the price I will not be selling it. I'll modify it with a hammer and dump it. Same for the whole computer.I will not take less than $3500. And that's less than half of what it cost me. |

Right away then that indicates the asking price is to much for what possible buyers are willing to pay. I will not take less than $3500. And that's less than half of what it cost me. A year ago that may have been a reasonable price, but with hardware improving in spec's, and being a year old, you'll only get what someone is willing to pay for it. Being a custom PC with all the bells and whistles would only be of interest to certain people. Better to strip it and sell as a lower spec and sell off the other components separate. |
