Need help pricing stuff

[That_Guy]

Hi all

 

First of all, would like to explain how this ended up here. I cannot start new threads in BUY and SELL section (been a member since waaay back just didnt have too many thoughts to share and didnt hit that 50 message threshold ) so i thought i'd ask here. Not really trying to sell stuff here either so i think it's safe to call it a pre-new build topic

 

Ok, down to business. I am planning an upgrade and want to sell my old stuff to an RL friend of mine. I would like to get some thoughts on pricing stuff i am going to sell, please reply only if you are in selling/buying business, i dont need numbers that *you'd thought would be could if you could have it for* or stuff like that. Just trying not to be too greedy

 

Here is what i came up with after doing a little research on Ebay and tigerdirect/newegg

 

CPU Q9450 ~ 150$

EVGA SLI 780i ~ 80$

MSI GTX 275 Twin Frozr - 85$

4x2gb GSkill Ripjaws ~60$

PSU Corsair 850TX ~ 85$

ZEROtherm Butterfly BTF90 CPU Cooler ~ 25$

 

(also gonna give him Apevia Jupiter X case with 5 aftermarket coolers for free)

 

Thoughts?

Some people still seem to love the C2Q's for some reason and will pay that much for it when they can buy an i5 2500K for just a little more, so I won't comment on that or the motherboard.

 

The GTX 275 might be a little high, but anyone actually interested in it for SLI'ing with another GTX 275 might offer $60 for it.

 

Some really good overclocking 2x4GB DDR3 memory from Samsung can be bought at $39.99 with free shipping, which can be overclocked to 1866MHz or 2133MHz, so expect maybe $30 to be a more reasonable offer from people.

 

The Corsair 850TX might sell better around $75 or even lower, unfortunately, especially for how long you've had it.

 

Essentially, you're offering him an outdated system for $485, when he can get an i5-2500K + decent P67 or Z68 motherboard for around $280 or less, including a 2x4GB memory for $40, a CM Hyper 212+ for $22, and a 750W PSU for ~$90 - $100 new, leaving $43 for a graphics card... which half can go towards a GTX 460 1GB, which outperforms a GTX 275 when both are overclocked, and can play DX11 games.

 

If he was my RL friend, I'd be giving it to him for $300, $350 at most.

Thanks mate, thats exactly why i asked! I felt like i could be asking too much. Anyways, 300$ is half way into my new GTX 680 which is better than zero i got when i sent my previous system to the dump -_-

Your rip jaws are a little high. I would go $40. Ram is cheap now.
