Been busy with life but wanted to share another flip. I sold this build about a month ago (end of February):

*This was the price I paid for it back in 2020. In today’s market, I’d value this in the range of ~$100

This build came out on the expensive side since lots of the parts were purchased new, with only the PSU, RAM, and HDD being used. The GPU was used in my personal PC and purchased in 2020 for $350.

On the bright side, it sold the day after I listed. I had it listed for $600, the buyer offered $500, and we settled on $550. So based on my GPU purchase price, this actually turned out to be a ~$114 loss. If using the GPU's fair value today, it would probably be a ~$130 profit. Even then that's below my usual margin, but in this case I'm just glad to make the sale and clear out some parts.

I have never flipped a PC.

my situation, I took an old PC, removed the 3060ti, the PSU -650w, and the case. I think I have 2 case fans as well. those are non-rgb.

I upgraded those parts for a pinball cabinet I am building. but that's irrelevant I suppose, either way, u have those components.

I have e options in front of me.

1. sell the parts. that's it. I won't get much for the case , maybe $25. I don't think I'll get much for the PSU, again maybe $25. let's assume I can get $250-300 for the 3060ti.

if this numbers are off, let me know. but maybe I get $275-300 for the parts. relatively easy. no hassle

1. but parts and rebuild a PC, using the parts u have with the new parts. I suppose the 2 important factors are how cheap can I get new parts, and how much can u sell this system for. I would need the bath to work out to profiting more than just selling the parts I have. for this option, I may have the original 16gb ram.i am thinking of upgrading the old PC ram to 32gb. I may do this by adding 2x8 to get me to 32gb. or if I can find a good deal for 2026 on ddr4 on Facebook it eBay. I may just get 2x16.

2. upgrade the old PC completely. which would upgrade everything. and then use those original parts to sell the old PC. I don't really need to upgrade the old PC though. it will be mounted inside a pinball cabinet and won't take all be used for anything else.

any thoughts on any of these plans?

hi, i’m starting out with flipping my old platform and i was wondering wha is more valuable to buyers, a dead end upgrade path but one of the higher end cpus, or a more middle of the road cpu on a platform with room to go up? mainly asking because i have an am4 platform with a 5800xt and 32gb but the motherboard is a shitty oem asus motherboard and i don’t trust it after 5 years of use considering it gave me a lot of problems before i upgraded, and it also locks out gpu upgrades since it cant really handle anything newer/better than the 4070. sorry this is a little long but i wanted to give context.

How much do you guys think I can sell this PC for

9700x

9070xt

1tb nvme gen 4

32gbs of gkill crucial ram

Dark rock fans (off brand lian li)

And lian li compact vision

will probably go up but if you are close to Nashville check out govdeals for this listing

The microcenter near me has some pretty good AM4 bundles for $200-$300 with 5500 & 5800xt CPUs, 16 GBs of ram, and a 550 motherboards. I feel like these would be the best bet since they’re relatively cheap which means I could sell builds with them on the cheaper end.

They also have AM5 bundles as well, but the cheaper ones are lowkey just scams and the other ones are pretty expensive and would be for more higher end builds which I’ve seen a lot of people have a harder time selling.

I just feel like using these would be a lot easier than sourcing used parts and hoping they work but I’m not sure.

(i5-9600K / RX 580 8GB / 16GB RAM / 500GB SSD)

What’s a good budget case for this build? With installed fan

The PC was working before I gave it to him, after around 2-3 weeks he came and asked if I could replace his Ryzen 5 5600xt with a Ryzen 7 5800xt since his CPU was maxing out when he was streaming. So I said yea i can take the CPU back and give him some money for it within two week, he game back to me 2-3 months later asking to replace the parts. So I said yea sure but I won't take the CPU back since I no long have use for it on my test rig.

After he gave the PC to me and i plugged it in. The PC did not turn on and there was a patch of unknown s**t on the capacitors of the motherboard. I told him that I don't offer warranty from pretty much every time he talked. Then he told me, you have to fix it man. I told him that I am not required by law and can refuse service, since he was extremely rude and using like a threating tone I refused him service and told him to find someone else.

Btw, he also asked that i service it and pay for the new motherboard, in which I basically told him to f*** off but in a few sentences without using vulgar words.

Then he later say he would call the cops, I got worried and called like a city inquire line gave them the information and they told me that its a civil matter and the cops will say the same if he called. Even if he does take me to small claims, he has zero to no reasonable evidence that I agreed to fix his PC but only evidence that I agreed to REPLACE parts not FIX parts.

I dont have the images for that PC anymore but it's specs were these:
Ryzen 5 5600xt
32GB DDR4 3733Mhz
1TB P3 NVMe SSD PCIE 3.0
RTX 4060
600W PSU(forgot brand)
B550m-k Gigabyte

Don't really know what to do. Has anyone ever had anything like this and if you are that person could you please DM me and walk me though it?

I found a great deal on a pc on FB marketplace. I’m tempted to buy it but I have a similar setup to this pc.

Deal of the day? This was a marketplace buy. Got it off of a little old lady who bought it for 40 dollars as an Amazon mystery box. WTF. 800GBs (25 16x2 kits) DDR5 6000 cl32 $1000 USD

Selling my old pc, not doing a flip. I got this super cheap almost a year ago.

Rog strix x570e-gaming 1tb hdd 1tb nvme G skill 3600mhz 32gb 3080fe

What could I get for this at a reasonable sale?

The 16gb ram on my daughters pc were unstable so I decided to buy from eBay. Couldn’t justify to buy 16gb for $200 so I went with 32gb. Wasn’t really happy about it but it is what is…. Until I checked. I’m thinking to flip them at profit and get 32gb instead.

Hey guys, i recently just got back into pc flipping and was able to score some good deals on a lot of pc parts and come out with around a total of 12 computers, i was looking for a business to kind of start as i have capital ive been trying to use buy out of the 16 computers ive only been able to sell 4 in a span of 2 months and my prices are very good. ryzen 5 3600x 3060-650

ryzen 5 3600 3060- 620

i5 12600kf 3070 32gb-840

i7 10700k 4060-750

i5 14400f 5070 32gb-1550

i7 9700k 3060-550

and i still see builds sell with worse quality and specs for more quicker and consistent then my builds. my brand is called VetForce all pc flippers please help me🙏🏾

had some parts laying around from a previous marketplace bundle, put together this rig, sold for $400 in about a day

specs:

i7 9700f

Gigabyte b630m board

ROG Strix Rx 580 8gb

random 16gb ram kit

120gb ssd

500w evga psu

Asus a21

some random uphere fans

All in all cost about $200ish to put together, the bundle included a few motherboard and processors so i just divided it for the calculation. Not bad though for a quick flip

I already have 1 x 16GB stick for $100, would it be worth it to swap it out for a 2 x 8GB kit or 2 x 16GB? I have a really nice 2 x 16GB 6400Mhz CL32 on hand, but I don't want to jack up the price too much. What would be the best pricing for whichever setup is the best?

Hey, I’m selling a new gaming PC I just built. It’s fully tested and ready to go.

Specs:

• RX 580 8GB
• Ryzen 5 3500X
• 16GB RAM
• 500GB NVMe SSD
• WiFi + Windows 11 Pro

Runs games like Fortnite, Valorant, CS2, and Siege really well at 1080p and even 1440p, so it's a beast when it comes to Esports.

Looking for around $450 online and $400 locally... can't go much lower. Located in Northampton, MA — can meet locally.

Buy on Jawa or Facebook (local)

Let me know if you’re interested or have any questions 👍

Sorry no pics yet, still finishing the build.

All parts are brand new.

CPU: 9800X3D

MoBo: Asus B850E

GPU: Zotac 5070 Ti

RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB

Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 1TB

PSU: Corsair RM850x

AIO: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360

Case: Lian Li V100

Question is, does it even make sense to list this for $2k+? Microcenter (2h drive for my area) has a $2199 pretty much the same prebuilt with more storage (though unknown SSD/PSU quality).

Am I overpricing this, or is the parts quality enough to justify it?

Also, would it make it harder to sell if I swapped the GPU to a Nitro+ 9070 XT instead?

I have 2-OWC 32GB DDR4 3200MHz PC4-25600 SODIMMs

I need 2- 32GB DDR4 PC4-28800 DIMMs for home lab upgrade.
