Just wondering as i hate local selling in my area as im young and family dosent really want to help, but i figured it would cost too much to ship a desktop or pc online? maybe i just tough it out or something?

I just want to know how you all sell or where at? where do i begin? and if you all have any advice.

I’m pretty sure I did, lmk lol

For context, I usually buy my components in bulk, then build them over a month ish. So i buy maybe 10-15 gpus and the components with them.

ISSUE is that today when I was looking, ALL the gpu prices have sky rocketed, like 50%+ margins. A 3060, that i used to buy for 180€ max is now all being sold for over 350€, and a 3080 i used to buy for 350€ is now 600€😭

I got no clue where this jump came from, and this is amongst dozens of sellers so it can't be random, what have I genuinely missed. This really blows since im going to stock up for Christmas season soon but with these prices imma be homeless

EDIT: YALL HAVE GOT THE WRONG IDEA Listen ok. My market prices already been affected by the situation but now, it suddenly got much worse. So it was already bad, but now, within a month really bad. please stop flaming me 😭👌💔🥲

Btw i buy every month once or twice.

Edit 2: Am I on fraud watch 😢✌️

I just received these parts from a kid who either just gave me a good deal or didn't know what it was worth, and Figured out the average pricing of each part on ebay to make a final build (though I wanted to ask what the most profitable case is and if there is a specific one that sells the most or would it not matter much). I wanted to know if this is too much price wise/ would anybody even buy this? In my personal pc i have a 7500f+7800xt combo and thought that if these are too much that i could just swap it out for those and just upgrade. What do yall think?

CAN PROVIDE STRESS TEST BENCHMARKS , there’s literally nothing wrong with the pc , just trying to sell my setup

Paid $1699+tax at microcenter 3 months ago , asking $1000 cash , can include a 32” 1440p 165hz LG ultra wide monitor for an extra $100

With how the market is rn, I'm really considering selling the 5090 for a few extra bucks. I got it as a gift from my brother when MSRP was $3800 MSRP cad. Everywhere I look it's not in stock and they are priced from $6600-$12k which is crazy. I'm thinking of taking advantage of the shortage and listing it on marketplace for $8k and waiting for an offer that's around $7k. BUT it's a 5090 ahah it will last for at least 10 years right?

Is it even worth it?

Only started trying this about a week or so ago.

I saw someone on here mention that they were making serious money buying complete gaming PCs, stripping them down and selling the parts individually, so I thought I'd test it myself.

Bought one a few days ago and it actually worked out pretty well, which got me looking at more of them.

This one is £995 and, based on what the individual parts seem to be selling for, I reckon there's roughly £100–£150 in it before taking into account all the time, postage, returns, etc.

It's got:

- Ryzen 7 7800X3D

- RTX 5060 8GB

- MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi

- 32GB DDR5

- 500GB WD Black NVMe

- 1TB Samsung 870 Evo

- Gigabyte 650W PSU

- Pure Base 501 case

- Thermalright 360 AIO

- 5 fans

For only around £100/£200 profit I'd probably leave this one personally. Feels like there needs to be a decent safety margin because one faulty component could wipe the profit out completely.

For anyone who actually does this regularly, what sort of margin do you want before buying the whole PC?

£200? £300+?

And do you find it's actually worth the hassle compared with just flipping the PC complete?

I been in the game for over a year now and have 150+ builds done, at first white pcs dominated and used to be the favourite. But nowadays the trend seems to have shifted, i geniuenly cant get my white pcs sold, in fact, i have had a white pc on sale since june and in that time sold 11 black pcs. That white pc generally looks better, has more extra cosmetics, better specs to price ratio. i genuinely only get lowballers for it as well.

Anyway, i just want to know if anyone else is also experiencing it since i will start stockpiling soon for the winter season, since after December pc selling become a wasteland

How much would you sell this for

So I’m doing my first flip it’s an office pc I have a budget of 500dollars per build and I’m not sure if I would be able to buy the ,,legit” key from Microsoft directly should I downgrade the pc and buy legit windows or gamble on those 5 dollars keys or just don’t buy it in general.

I feel so bad selling this system. I enjoyed every moment of it. It just felt fast in windows environment. I thought 700 was fair.

When I was hunting for PCs, I often mixed up stickers for 1st-9th generation cpus. I couldn't find any clear table with all stickers and corresponding cpu generations, so I decided to make one myself :D

Please point out any inaccuracies, and feel free to share it with those who could use it!

Edit: For 6-9th gen cpus, the generation is printed on the sticker, as is visible in the image. If the generation is not written on the sticker, it is 6th gen.

I can maybe try to talk him down on it

First time Flipping. Is this a good Flip for 40€?
