How much is the PC worth?

Community General Discussion

I mean the 2080 is the only thing in the build worth any money, an 8700k is less performant than a 13100F (which can be had for like 80 dollars nowadays, also gives new architecture improvements, upgrade paths, etc etc). 32 gigs of DDR4 is like 50 dollars new, 256 gb ssd is essentially free in today’s market (microcenter literally hands them out for signing up for an account) as the cost it takes to ship them makes them less valuable than a 512, and a 2 tb hard drive used is like 20 dollars.

Feel like total 500 dollars would be a good for seller sale price, 350-450 USD is more like second hand market depending on PSU/motherboard quality, imo given it’s age and the fact that you’re selling it to a friend OP.

can get one of those RGB case light kits for like $20 then add another $200 to the price :slight_smile:

One key thing to also ask, how many years use on that used PC?

24

That has nothing to do with the value as a whole.

Not all gamers are equal in computer literacy and the market demand is what determines the price of used goods, not the benchmarks and performance variables.

Just because GD is full of stingy nerds, doesn’t mean that PC won’t EASILY sell for a solid $700.

With that being said, since it’s a friend. I agree with your price. $500 is more than reasonable.

25

someone would be nuts to pay that much for that build

I mean he asked how much it’s worth, not how much he could get from it. One of those paper holders that people sell as “wifi blockers” is “worth” 150 dollars if you have no morals and just want to scam people, doesn’t mean you should just always take advantage of people’s ignorance.

Probably like $500.

And you’d be sitting on it forever while the value continues to drop.

Nothing devalues faster than a computer… that CPU is 7 generations old… a disc platter HDD? Obsolete… its old, its slow, its used… and you can buy a decent NEW Modern PC for around $1,000… you’re INSANE to think it will sell for $1,000… sure, you can list it for $1,000, just don’t think anyone will buy it for that short of a moron who doesn’t keep up with PC tech.

It can sell for $500-ish… or it can sit FOREVER on marketplace for $1,000. Listing and actually selling are two different things.

So are SSD’s.
We’ve moved on to M.2( aka NVME) drives now.
That’s what I have in my current build.

Any current model PC/laptop that isn’t using NVME drives is still strapped in the 2010’s.

That said, many PC’s are still sold with them today.

Spinning iron will have it’s place in storage for few more years just because of their storage size and price.

An actual friend? ~200.

A stranger, 400-500 or see if you can hold out for a sucker for more but then it prob just sits.

35

Yea im gonna sell it for 200, cuz the pcu is a little beat from playing wow alot

I think it’s not necessary to call an acquaintance a friend because it undermines the status of a true friend. Friends are those who are willing to take risks for each other.

Just a few notes:

Those are SSDs (Solid State Drives) as well.
The mainstream INTERFACE, changed from 2.5" disks to M.2.
NVMe is a protocol, there are M.2 SATA SSDs too.

Magnetic HDD are still Kings for sheer storage size.

Yea you are right about that one, if you didnt goto school with those kinda friends when you where small or didnt know them for 10+ years, those people are hard to find
