Old PC - need to sell

wilders · 17 Apr 2006 at 15:48

Recently upgraded, want to shift my old pc. Any ideas what this lot is worth? Is it worth splitting and selling the bits, ebaying whole or selling somewhere else? It even plays COD2 @1024x768 albeit dx7 mode!

It's a Asus A7N8X-E motherboard, AMD1700xp, 1 gb ram, 5900 Nvidia, sb live sound card, 80gb hd, 17in crt monitor, kb + mouse. XP Pro SP2 loaded.

I'm not sure if you can post price threads like this here mate, I think you can only use the price check forum in the member's market. You need 250 posts to access it.

Just want an idea of the best way to get rid of it, and a price check if possible, if it's breaking rules, dont give me a price, but should I break it or ebay as is, as you say I cant access the MM at the moment.

Why not keep it?

I've got 4 pc's in the house including the hcpc......need to shift it really..

Price checks aren't allowed I'm afraid.

Just stick it in your local paper, for whatever you think is fair.

OK, dont want a price check on my system, but what would you say is a fair price for a similar system if you were in the market for a cheap system?!!!!

Cheap to me usually means £100 or less. (Edit: not for this particular spec of course)

Haha, nice wording OP!

I would say more than 100, though, no doubt.

If you were selling it on Member's Market you would get a plethora of people posting for you to break it up into the parts. That's because someone has a case lying about and would offer £50 for the motherboard and CPU, maybe someone else would want the HDD at £20, £40 for the RAM and £45 for the graphics card. And someone is bound to lump in and offer £50 for the windows licence assuming it's legit.

But that's here. Very few people want a complete PC, whereas in the real world people want a nice system that's all ready to go.
