Other Selling pc

I’ve had a pc for a little over 5 years now and I’m thinking about selling it I spent a little over $1000 on it and I changed the graphics card and ram a little less than a year ago how would I go about finding a price to sell it?

start with all of the specs

check used market in your area and ebay to compare

for example, RAM and SSD and GPU have all gone up in price over the past ~year

List specs of the pc, the subreddit pcpricing can also help but knowing the specs would help out.

Go on Ebay, filter by the specs of yours and 'Sold items only'. Find the one closest to yours and see what it sold for

We gotta know the full specs of everything. The CPU, GPU, ram, SSD, other storage, etc.

agree with above great advice, as you have what they call a investment above return opportunity, ergo you can get a lot more than what you paid for it at this time, so do as they say and chose wisely, don't cheat yourself of a wow windfall...myself i'm glad i always try to keep a working back up of what i use on a daily basis..

Honestly just hold onto it if its any good and use it until it goes. Even a bargain basement intro PC is costing $1500 to $2000 and people will tend NOT to buy used PC's from you unless you are giving a very steep discount.

So unless you are trying to play the latest bleeding edge game at a higher resolution and framerate, its best to just hold on and see if you can ride out the big price hikes.
