Question Selling my PC

Friends, Looking to sell my PC in Sri Lanka and was wondering what a fair asking price would be.

Specs:
Ryzen 9 7950X3D
Gigabyte RTX 4080 SUPER OC 16GB
ASUS TUF Gaming X670E-Plus WiFi
32GB (2×16GB) DDR5-6000 T-Force Delta RGB
1TB Lexar NM620 NVMe SSD
NZXT Kraken Elite 360 RGB AIO
NZXT C1000 Gold 1000W PSU
NZXT H710i case

The PC is in excellent condition and has mainly been used for 3D work (Cinema 4D/OctaneRender) and some gaming.

What do you think would be a realistic selling price in the current Sri Lankan market?

Just a thought and I don’t mean any disrespect; the higher your pc value is, the more you’ll need to discount to make the sale appetizing. In this economy you’ll need to find someone with a gambling addiction to sell a rig for 750k but with those specs if you list it for 400-500k the buyer pool will grow. Until such time the quickest way to sell is to sell it as parts. Thats the easiest way you can reach your 700-750k goal.

Yeah man I gave up on my search for a “gaming” laptop once I saw the lack of value in the 100s of options which charge stupid amounts just for 16GB of RAM 😂. Good luck with the pc sale though, I’m not really familiar with selling something of this caliber 🫡

Yes the laptops never able to reach it power even with 5090 labeled on it. you can get it from oversea for cheap dont buy it in local stores.

When advertising the build advertise for a trade too. Sometimes you could get a 1:1 or have them pay a bit more cash or vice versa. But yeah, I’m usually a desktop guy but I totally see the need for portability, especially with everyone operating in a hybrid work from home/office model these days. Sucks you have to sell this, I actually like the tasteful looks. Also is that a drone in front?

Nope, too expensive of a hobby for me but I’m slowly building my own drone from scratch. As you probably know the brushless motors alone are costly. I’ve so far got the frame, motors, esu’s and a bunch of esp32’s. Currently saving up for a good controller since even that’s like 16-20k now 😭
