How much are these 2 computers worth?
« on: April 21, 2011, 12:25:05 am »
Hello, I have 2 computers and I am hoping to sell on craigslist or my local trades newspaper since I have no use for them. Both of them are fairly dated by hey, they're still good for an everyday pc. I'm not really sure how much they're worth so I'm hoping you guys could help me value them.  :)

First unit:
Pentium D 820 2.8ghz
2gb ddr2 ram
Geforce 9600gt
120gb Seagate Barracuda hdd
Gigabyte matx motherboard (not sure of the model)
LG dvd/cd burner
500w Cooler Master psu
black Gigabyte matx case
floppy drive
win xp pro

Second unit:
Sempron 2600+ 1.6ghz
512mb ddr ram
Geforce fx5200 (with a customized OC'ed bios)
20gb Western Digital hdd
Asus k8v-mx atx motherboard
Asus dvd/cb burner
400w raidmax psu
black atx case with stealth cd doors
floppy drive
win xp pro

Thanks.

About $150 for the first one, $30-40 for the second.

Why?

1st:

CPU: $15
RAM: $20
GPU: $35
HDD: $15
MOBO: $25
DVD: $15
PSU:$25-30
CASE: $20

Since it's craigslist, you can get $150 maybe more depending on sum dumb niqqas ( or genuinely interested people )

2nd:

CPU: $10
RAM: $5
GPU: $10
HDD: $5
MOBO: $5-10
DVD: $15
PSU: $15-20
CASE: $20-30

Maybe $40-50, depends if it has wireless card so perhaps if someone needs it for light browsing/ very light gaming ( pre-05 )

These prices are approximately close, from experience and current prices.

that was a stupid move :/
Not sure if the second one costs even 30$... But 300 for the first one is pretty dam good imo.

Yes, you will not get more than $300 for it ( unless some dumbass buys it, in which case you're an asshole for even wanting more )

You honestly think it's worth that much? I already listed you the actual costs.

Enjoy being greedy I suppose, since people can get a nice CD2 for that price.

If this is just the computer itself, without no monitor/keyboard/etc then please don't be a greedy bastard.

I'd pay 200USD at most for the first one. About the second one, I don't think anyone would buy it, unless it's some old person wanting to play Solitare 24/7 on it.

Fireman's assessment is about right (IMO/fwiw)

Lol, the guy I sold it to came back. He tried installing his ide hard drive from his old computer into the one I sold him but somehow managed to screw up.

Turned out some of the cables (12pin-atx, ide, etc) got dislodged so the computer refused to turn on. I asked him how he tried install it and he said he opened case and tried installing it from the inside. No wonder they became dislodged.

For an matx case that small, he should have removed the front bezel and slide the hard drive into the drive bay, then open up the case and connect the cables.

Atleast he didn't ask for a refund and I charged him nothing to get it fixed. <3 Korean IT noobs.
