CopyNinjaKakash Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 As a college student I am looking to get out of the computer enthusiast and gaming world for the time being for a number of reasons (still going to be around these forums though). I was looking to part out my machine and sell it but instead recieved an offer from a friend here on campus whos Dell is slowly crapping out and he wants a machine that will play BF2 and run xp. My question is how much I should be selling this for, he has offered me 700-800 dollars depending on what details we iron out. I feel uncertain about selling for this much because of how much money I have put into this thing over the years. Sans the 200 and 250 gig harddrives, the sound system, monitor, keyboard and mouse, how much money would you pay for the machine in my signature? Edit: computer at the time of this post NF4 Ultra-D 623-2 BIOS 3800+ X2 Toledo XFX 7900GT/Zalman VF900-CU OCZ 4x512 Gold BH5 @ 2-3-3-6 2T Hitachi 80 GB SATA/JBOD OCZ GameXStream 600W Saitek Eclipse keyboard Creative Audigy Soundblaster SE Logitech Z-2300 2.1 speakers Samsung 206BW 20" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radodrill Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 MB ~100 CPU ~100-150 GFX ~220 RAM ~120 HDD ~30 PSU ~100 Total ~670-730 if he wants winXP as well add ~100 I'd say 700 would be a fair price (for hardware); but if he feels it's worth more to have it already put together that's up to him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest r3d c0m3t Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Agreed. $700-750 seems like a fair price for a computer that's already working, and has what he needs to play BF2. If you've overclocked, than you should add about 20-25 for manual labor. In all seriousness though, $700 seems like a very fair price, and it's going to be somewhat cheaper than buying an OEM PC or building one for himself.

CopyNinjaKakash Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Wow thanks for all the speedy replies guys! Looks like I am giving him my copy of XP SP2 as well with the machine. You'll never guess what I am probably gonna buy with the money from this... ::cough::macmini::cough::. Could use even more input though, keep those posts coming!

AnUnknownSource Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 I don't think I'd pay $700 unless the parts were brand new and came with original receipts for RMA purposes, so it's a good amount to receive for it, you're not getting ripped off... If he's willing to pay that much for it, take it! You're not ripping him off because it's a pre-built machine... and if anything ever goes wrong with it, guess who's gonna do the troubleshooting so sounds like a fair deal to me :-) If it's had an OEM copy of XP on it, you may as well throw it in with the deal... it's technically tied to that hardware... and for gods sake... don't ever sell anything for more based on it's overclock-ability... edit: no he said "sans"...which means without lol lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingspar Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Our machines are similar in specs. Wish I could have built my rig for $800. Sigh... What case is your rig in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CopyNinjaKakash Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Some Ultra ATX mid-tower piece of crap i got when i first built this machine and had no idea what i was doing AT ALL. Im buying this kid a new case too, but its just a 50 dollar one http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?...N82E16811119077 that ive used in a few builds for people and really like/ am used to.

RubberDuck Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 I'd say $700 easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest navinjohnson Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 700 max with the new case and XP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthatwhichis Posted October 13, 2007 Posted October 13, 2007 I got to admit, I wouldn't go over $600 for it. If you can get $7-800, I'd run with it. It'd be happy to get that for the rig in my sig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
