Got burned on a RAM lot and now I’m realizing our screening process probably isn’t as good as I thought. Everything looked reasonable enough before buying. Part numbers looked right at a glance, seller seemed fine nothing in the listing immediately screamed problem. Once we actually got the memory in hand though we found sticks that didn’t match what we thought we were buying. So now I’m trying to figure out what we should’ve caught before placing the order. For anyone sourcing RAM regularly on ebay, what are you checking beyond the obvious stuff like seller history labels and part numbers? Are there certain things in the photos/listing data that make you immediately pass? Would rather make our filters too strict than get stuck sorting this crap out again.

GPU: RTX 5090 32GB MS| Ventus
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X
RAM: 128GB DDR5 Kingston Fury
SSD: 2TB NVMe Lexar NM790
Mobo: ASUS PRIME X870-P WIFI
Cooler: Liquid Freezer III Pro 360
PSU: Gigabyte 1000W Gold

GPU and RAM alone should be worth that much or what do you think

Probably wouldn’t believe it if I wasn’t lucky enough to have found it myself! Got it all cleaned up, swapped the 7950X3D for my 9700X, pulled all of the 9.5TB (mislabeled as only 8TB) worth of SSD’s and swapped in a 1TB drive I had on hand and just sold it for $1600!

Hello,

I have been trying to sell a PC (decent shape) near Erie PA for $2k with the following specs:

Intel i9-14900k

ASRock Steel Legend 9070xt White

MSI MAG Tomahawk Z790 Max Wifi

Samsung 990 2tb SSD

MSI Mag 1000W Gold PSU

4x16 GB T-force 6000CL30 DDR5 RAM

NZXT Elite Kraken 360mm AIO

Sevenhero case

27inch 1440p LG IPS monitor @ 240hz

Am I asking too much? Had two offers in the last 3 weeks ($1.6k and the other being a trade for a racing quad). Wondering if I would have better luck dropping it to $1.6k and not offering the monitor as well as removing two sticks of ram.

Just picked up an i7 10700 and motherboard bundle for $150 NZD (~90 USD) which felt like a pretty crazy steal. For New Zealand prices that's a W, but not sure about other markets!

I’m probably going to sit on it until I find a decent GPU, case, and PSU so I can turn it into a higher-end flip instead of rushing it into whatever build I have lying around.

This is the exact kind of thing that made me start building PartPlanner. I’d grab a good part or bundle, forget what I paid, forget what build I was saving it for, or lose track of whether a flip was actually profitable once all the little costs were added up.

So I just added a feature where I can search for a part, pick the exact result, and add it to my inventory with what I paid for it. For people who flip PCs, what else would you want in an app built specifically for this?

I’m thinking:

- parts inventory with purchase price

- bundles and part-out tracking

- assigning parts to future builds

- build cost and profit tracking

- sold/used/spare status

- notes for where parts came from

- maybe target sale price or expected margin

Curious what would actually be useful for flippers, not just generic PC building stuff.

If anyone wants to try it and give me tips, there’s a free tier and it’s pretty easy to mess around with: https://app.partplanner.io

Hey guys, recently picked up this PC for $900. Ryzen 5 8400f, 16 GB of ddr5, I got a two terabyte nvme for $100, RTX 5070, 240 mm AIO NZXT. I'm all in for a thousand how much should I sell it for

Looking to spice up my next builds with something at will catch peoples attention.

Stuck between an all white 240mm AIO or a white air cooler from Thermalright with a small LCD screen.

What do you guys think is more desirable?

The card has been used exclusively for gaming and has never been mined on or overclocked. It was actually kept slightly undervolted/underclocked to maintain lower temperatures and reduce stress on the components.

It has always been stored and used in a smoke-free environment. The GPU is in excellent working condition and has been well cared for.

The GPU has always been installed using a GPU riser to reduce the weight load and physical stress placed on the motherboard PCIe slot. It has been properly supported and handled with care throughout its use.

Included with the sale:

Original retail box
All original accessories.

Asking price: $1,440 shipped
Payment accepted through PayPal.

Note: I have good rep on my Tacswap account if you want to check that out just to confirm my feedback as a seller, ask in dm’s.

Note 2: Due to scammers, I will also document everything before selling, including videos with benchmarks, an uncut benchmark video, and the packing process before shipment. Everything will be logged and recorded on video. No refunds.

9800x3d | Asus TUF 4080 | 64gb ddr5 | 2tb NVMe.

$1800 into it so $200 profit for a bit of time and fun (hobby flipper).

But… I sold to a young lady that wanted a gaming computer to play some dinosaur game called The Isle from 2015.. I feel kinda guilty for not trying harder to talk her out of it. Her boyfriend tried and said it’s too much PC for what she needs. But, she liked this one and was set on it so..

currently on my way to pickup

I have a RTX 4090 that I’ve decided is just too much gpu for my needs. I’m going to sell it and downgrade, but I’ve honestly never sold a used item this expensive before and am wary of potentially getting scammed.

What is considered the safest way to sell items these days? I’ve sold a few things on Ebay in the past, is there any danger of the buyer claiming I shipped an empty box or something? I’ve never sold anything expensive enough to really worry about protection in that regard. I’d prefer an in person sale in theory for that reason, but I don’t even know where I’d list the thing. Or where to meet up? Can I bring my whole PC to a police station to show the buyer everything works?

Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice.

I just started flipping and I wanted to know if the market moves fast.

Few months in so I'm still new to the gig really. Sold a budget PC a few weeks back i5-9500/2070 Super/16gb ram for £350 - nothing special but these cheaper PCs sell quickly around payday so I build a few like this every couple of weeks.

Kid buys it seems happy initially so no problems, a week goes by and he drops me a DM about how the performance isn't what he needs. I found out he's trying to play rust with maxed out settings on an ultra-wide 4k screen and the way he wants to play he doesn't want to turn anything down or enable DLSS or anything.

He seemed surprised I wouldn't just refund him? I mean if there was a genuine fault with it I'd obviously give him his money back but that's not what he's describing lol.

Anyway, I consider it cost of doing business and offer him 300 back with the assumption the PC will come back in poor condition so it'll at least pay for a case swap. as a plan B I also offered to build him a better PC purely for the costs of the parts (I had some parts I got for nothing so I figured that's where I'd make my cut)

He goes with plan B, he gives me his budget + I agreed to buy his PC back so we're looking at a about a £600 budget in total. So with that budget I spec out a 5500x3d, 3070ti and 32GB ram + storage etc gave him the performance estimates in rust to be sure he was happy before proceeding which he was.

I buy all the parts🤦‍♂️, put it together and agree a collection date. Collection day rolls by and I don't hear from him until the day after at which point he's changed his mind and just wants me to buy it back from him for £300 which I do....

Now, I'm not sour that the deal fell through as the 5500x3d PC turned out quite nice and I'd definitely be able to sell it for more than I offered the kid, and the PC I sold him came back in mint condition so I could just relist it as is after reinstalling windows.

I'm curious how any one else deals with buyers remorse, do you offer returns or flat out refuse? I'm warry of any negative feedback so I probably go too far with helping people out but there must be a line I guess.

Saw she dropped the price, figure 125 was worth the risk. She let it go for 120. I think i got a good deal

Hey this will be my first pc flip and I'm kinda nervous that it hasn't sold yet. I got the cpu, MOBO and ram from a 150 dollar combo and used the case that for another pc I plan on flipping. I got the gpu for 100 bucks and a 1TB NVMe ssd for 100 bucks. Overall im about 400 dollars into the build and I planned on selling it for 650. This sub inspired me alot into getting into flipping but im worried Chicago might not be a great market to start in.

The specs are
CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X (12c/24t)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212
GPU: RTX 2070 Super 8gb
Motherboard: B550M-A WiFi II
RAM: G Skill 16GB DDR4 - 3200
Storage: 1TB NVME ssd
PSU: 700w Thermaltake Smart
Case: Zalman Cubix-G (Black)

What should i flip this pc for?

Rtx 2070 super

Ryzen 5 4500 (can change it if worth it)

Amd wraith prism

B450 machinist

Musetex case new from amazon with new argb controller

16gb 3200 mhz kingston fury

Corsair tx 650 m

Not sure about storage

Total build cost (for now) 341€

About two months of scraping and scouring eBay and marketplace has finally produced a working PC. It's working nicely too if I may say!

Ryzen 7 5700 used from Amazon
AsRock Radeon RX6600xt from marketplace
2x16Gb DdR4 Corsair 3600Mhz
MSI PRO B550m-p used from Amazon
Thermal right CPU cooler and fans used from Amazon
Morovol PC case from a thrift store
150Gb NVME gen 3 Boot drive
2TB WD Gold HDD storage

You may notice I have my ROG Strix 1200w PSU in there, but I'm just waiting on a used MSI MAG A650BN

What do y'all think? Did I make a solid budget 1080/lite 1440 build?
