how much do you think i could get for my current computer and what do you think is better selling it in parts and the 22 inch samsung vsync. or selling the whole computer at once with the 22 inch monitor?.


im thinking parts but i dont have any heatware, or anything so im not sure if people would trust me, cuz of that.

If you're selling it on a forum, best part it out. You would have better luck selling the whole thing (monitor included) on Craigslist or something like that.

i was thinking of selling it on forums. but wasnt sure how much action id be getting cuz of no past trading experiance on forums and stuff.

so was thinking of doing the craiglists or a site like that cuz it would be easier. but i would have to sell it cheaper, cuz the generaly people look at price. before whats in it.

You could sell it for more on Craigslist then on a tech forum. People on tech forums know what things are worth more than general people on Craigslist/ebay.

Lest we forget your name is also "epicfail" which is not synonymous with trustworthy salesman. :laugh:

Selling full rigs on Craigslist is a marathon of patience. The thing that keeps me from selling full setups online is the shipping cost when dealing with a case :D

I've sold a few rigs in the past year on there and in my exp in my area the sweet spot was around $450-$500. I was able to sell 2 AIIX4 quads at that price within a month of posting.

Anything higher and you really have to wait. I sold an i7 860/GTX 275 rig for $850 but it took about 2.5months! Plenty of lowballers though :roll:
