Hey guys, Im a long time lurker here, finally decided to create an account to ask for some advice and to actually engage with the forum :).

I Built a PC last year which I now need to get rid of (downsizing my desk). Its way to high spec to sit and gather dust but nobody I know is on the market for one so Ive decided to pop it on eBay but I have no clue how to go about doing that.

Spec is:
i5 4690k @ 4.2GHz on a H100i
2x EVGA 760s on H50s AIO units (I had 1 lying around decided to buy a 2nd one and brackets)
8GB Corsair veng 2133
ASUS Gene Mitx motherboard
EVGA 850w PSU (cant remember which exactly but gold rated)
Fractal Design Arc Mini case

So does anyone know
A. I also have a 512gb SSD, a 128GB SSD and a 1TB HDD but the 500gig and the TB drives are 9(HDD) and 3(SSD) years old. Should I leave these in or would it be better to sell seperatly/keep them?
B. Would it be better to dismantle it and sell it all seperatly, Im missing about half of the original boxes and manuals
C. Im missing the original box for the PC case, where do you aquire a box and packaging for shipping an assembled PC?
D. Is there anything I can do to assure a buyer than the PC wont be DoA?

Any advice would be welcome as I'm really needing the money at the moment after purchasing my laptop :).

Can you you remove the very first question please as Price checks can only be done in the Member Market :)
 
Fill the inside of the case with expanding foam then simply wrap the metal case in brown paper and send.

The foam will keep everything in place nicely during transit :)
 
No price queries outside of the MM.

If your not happy shipping just set it to collection only, atleast that way you can show them it working to stop any shenanigans happening.
 
Sorry chaps, edited out question relating to price queries. Err wraping a case in paper seems like a good idea to send a chipped / dented case, is there no-where that sells empty boxes with packaging for computer systems? Also Collection only is a pain since I live just east of bum**** no-where in the north of Scotland.
