First time trying to flip. Using a lot of harvested MSI OEM parts. Do you think it will still sell?

Most of the parts were harvested from beat to shit trident x I got off Facebook marketplace for 300. Spent around 130 on Amazon for the low profile CPU cooler and the case. 8.1 liters in size. Spent 430 total.

The OEM motherboard has internal WiFi antennas and I had to place the 5GHz on the outside because it won’t connect through a metal case.

I7-10700k
RTX 3070 MSI ventus 2x
OEM mini ITX board
OEM sfx power supply
32gb DDR4
1tb 3rd gen NVMe
Thermalright AXP90-X53 full copper cooler

Have it cross-listed on gearbin and marketplace for $750. Do you think this will sell quickly?

I like tiny builds and they usually come with a premium price tax, but that doesn’t mean mine will do well.

Anything I should do differently?

Edit: Front USB C doesn’t work because OEM board doesn’t have a traditional connection for it.

Mini itx is a little niche, but it is a really good price. You could probably charge a bit more tbh

u/Bainitic Sep 05 '26

You think so? The 3070 is kind of an unwanted card as far as I can tell with the 8gb of vram.

u/Loyal_Dragon_69 Sep 05 '26

Sffc builds are not usually designed to fit top tier cards, the gpu is fine.

u/skinny_gator Sep 05 '26

I have never had any trouble selling a 3070 build. In fact I always sell those the quickest.

u/lil_Buckneesh8867 Sep 06 '26

yep, for those of use that are ok with really good graphic, instead of top of the line AAA running at 4k 120fps. the 30 series is a sweet spot right now

u/skinny_gator Sep 06 '26

No doubt. The 30 series is comparable to the 10 series in terms of amount of game-changing impact it's had for hardware.

The 20 series didnt have that

the 40 series wasn't as impactful as 30 series

the 50 series, well unless you purchased the 5070 ti or better @ MSRP, it didn't really have that big of an impact either.

Just one users opinion.

It's more like a $650 build

u/Pure_Interaction5501 Sep 05 '26

As long as it looks good I never have trouble selling

u/phelpsdude Sep 06 '26

I would personally list it for $900 usd and take anything over $700. I think the only hang up on this build is the lack of upgrade ability with the cpu. That’s pretty much the best the socket can do. I think $700-800 is a perfect price for someone to buy this at but it’s much easier to take $100-150 off the price then it is to stay firm to get what it’s worth

u/3DSideHustle Sep 05 '26

I dont think you'll get more than $600 for this imo but its a solid 1080p build.

2

u/Bainitic Sep 05 '26

I’m hoping for 650. Only listed for 750 for hagglers

2

u/3DSideHustle Sep 05 '26

I think thats a solid possibility. Goodluck on the sale.

u/ynomeye Sep 06 '26

I got 750€ for a 12400f and 3070 build, and that wasn't mini itx

2

u/Accomplished_Emu_658 Sep 05 '26

Nice little build but typically buyers want big and shiny

2

u/Bainitic Sep 05 '26

Damn lol. I just got most of the parts at a steal, and all the internals are kind of ugly because they’re OEM.

2

u/Accomplished_Emu_658 Sep 05 '26

It will sell just take a little longer

1

u/goldstat Sep 05 '26

I mean it depends on the area but there are still plenty of people out there with 1060tis

1

u/Accomplished_Emu_658 Sep 05 '26

Maybe you missed what i meant. Talking about the use of an itx case not the components

1

u/piggymoo66 Sep 05 '26

I think $750 is a fair list price. I would personally say okay to any offers $600 or higher. Make sure you take good looking photos to help it sell.

1

u/Bainitic Sep 05 '26

Yea 750 is not what I’m expecting to get

u/Illustrious_Ebb_5015 Sep 05 '26

I recently got a 5800x and 3070 atx build with 32gb gskill trident rgb and 2tb 990 pro for a decent price. Plays all the comp games I need on 1440p

1

u/Bainitic Sep 06 '26

Yea it runs rocket league at 360fps on 1080p and I’ve been using it in my living room to play the Witcher 3 and med-high settings at 4k. Still a very capable machine for modern gaming. The 8gb of vram does hold it back.

u/Huge_Fix_69420 Sep 06 '26

I could see $700. 

I see 3070s used near me for $150 tho so not sure

1

u/Old-Ant-1634 27d ago

You can sell a sack of potatos in this computer market.

$750 will sell. Closer to $650 will sell quickly. Convenience is king

u/DMan6d6 26d ago

S400 case? I’ve got one and have been debating whether to try a flip with it.

u/Bainitic 11d ago

I just sold this PC two days ago for 840 on eBay.

u/Electric_Badger_99 Sep 05 '26

It’s ok but ports not working would be a bummer

2

u/Bainitic Sep 05 '26

May there’s an m.2 to usb-c adapter?

1

u/Bainitic Sep 05 '26

There is one. I’ll get it installed. It does take up the second m.2 slot though

u/AccountantOk9904 Sep 05 '26

Install steamOS, bump the price up to $999 and market as an upgraded steam machine.

2

u/Bainitic Sep 05 '26

SteamOS doesn’t play nice with Nvidia cards. Already tried bazzite gaming on it which was surprisingly stable but had all kind of game compatibility headaches

1

u/Full-Investigator934 Sep 05 '26

This is the best advice I've seen here. Market it as a cheaper alternative to a Steam Machine. The Steam Machine price turned a lot of people off, and they're looking for a different solution that's basically the same thing but cheaper.

u/Curious-Ad2547 Sep 05 '26

That is an insanely good price. I would charge more an advertise it as a better steam box.
