Any late-2000 "retro" experts? Or general info on getting rid of old stuff?

Hope this is OK for this forum section!

Just tested and stripped down an old system (mostly bought on advice from here!) and noticed the parts have a little, but not a lot, of value. But I don't know of the best way to shift it all etc and could really use some advice.

The case was junk- plastic had all aged out and cracked- but it went straight into Windows. It's a Q6600 G0, on a Gigabyte P35 DS3 board (behold my overclocking MIGHT!) It has a GTX560, and 8gb of fancy ram- 2x2gb of OCZ Reaper pc2-6400 with the big goofy heat sinks, and 2x2gb of Geil Black Dragon PC2-8500. And a GTX560 with a factory upgrade cooler. Plus boring bequiet psu which is a bit newer, and some orange 120mm Yate Loons which probably dates it pretty precisely to 2007 :)

So, nothing super desirable or interesting, but it seems like it's got a little value, maybe £50, maybe a little more. But I've no clue whether to sell it all together, or split it? And is there a good place to do it, a UK retro forum or similiar, or am I best just hoofing it on ebay?

Any advice much appreciated! Also, omg, this thing was fast when I built it but now it might as well be powered with a rubber band :)
 
Have you got MM access?

Edit: if not, eBay - check previous listings and price accordingly

Edit: also - price checks outside the MM aren’t allowed as far as I recall so your thread may well get locked.

Not sure it is quite retro enough for there to be any interest in that respect though the Q6600 has some legendary status interest. The CPU will likely sell for a little bit on its own as there are still companies using Core 2 era hardware to drive production equipment, etc. but your best bet for shifting it is probably all together on ebay.
