How much can I ask for this rig

MRCL · Apr 12, 2009, 08:22 PM

Alrighty, to make some money (and room, especially room), I'm selling a spare rig. Not here on TPU, as 99.999% of the users here do not live in Switzerland, and shipping costs would ruin you. Now, I am not sure how much I can ask for it... here are the specs:

Case: Silverstone Fortress
CPU: Core2Duo E6300 1.86GHz (I will offer free oc if wished)
GPU: Radeon HD3850
RAM: Kingston Value, 667MHz 4GB
PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 750W
Motherboard: Asus P5Q-E incl. Manual
CPU Cooling: Scythe Katana 2
HD: 160GB Western Digital SATA
Accessoirs: 1x Scythe Slip Stream 500rpm / Zalman Fan Controller / Scythe Kama Bay 3x5.25" Fan / SATA DVD writer / cables, adapters, cds and connectors that came with the stuff / Wireless keyboard & mouse by Thrust (el cheapo, so I probably will throw that in free if wished)

Cable management done & case will be delivered in original package.

I plan on selling it for 800 CHF (about 520 USD). Can I ask more, or should I ask less for it? Parts are all pretty much new & barely used, except for PSU and CPU.

What is the cost of all of those parts new in Switzerland?

Morrison5891 · Apr 12, 2009, 08:25 PM

I know here the US ... I wouldnt be able to sell that for $500 ...

PennySavre · Apr 12, 2009, 08:25 PM

I was thinking in my head a figure of about $500 when I was reading the list of things...

n-ster · Apr 12, 2009, 08:28 PM

550$ max here in US, In Switzerland, I'm guessing you can strech it to 600$ US, but if you want to sell fast, your price is right on

Everything new, assuming the lowest price, will be 1200+ CHF / 770 USD

800 CHF would be a good deal then. I remember living in Lugano, getting computer parts was an expensive adventure.

Heh, it still is my friend, it still is.

alexp999 · Apr 12, 2009, 08:36 PM

1200 is new, then 800 is about right. Maybe 900 for the fact is built

MRCL · Apr 12, 2009, 08:40 PM

Cool. I'm sure there are people who would pay near 2000 CHF for this, as I've seen many many offers like this. Crap for way to much, and people buy it. But I do not want to betray people, this is why I am asking here.

So about 800-900. Lets see if someone buys that thing then. Thanks you guys!
