    I have an Alienware Area51 ALX black/chrome case for sale with a 1000watt power supply+lighting Only. No scratches on the case Although it is misssing the back panel and one of the pins is slightly bent on the lighting board Not tested but it should still work I also have an Alienware briefcase for sale and an ASUS Nvidia Geforce GTX strix 1080Ti 11gb Just wondering how much you guys think it is all worth in your opinion ? and if anyone is interested in buying. I have an ad on adverts and ebay for it. Let me know if you think the price is fair. Here's a link to them https://www.adverts.ie/desktops/alienware-area-51-alx/36729848?notification=e928f1218cdad6aab89688bcdd790170-1743944581 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/286464231209

    The case was never used so its in great condition no scratches or marks and also the graphics card was never used at all probably only a few days How much should I be selling the card for then ? Cex will only give me a voucher for it for €165 but, they sell it for €275 Is 300-350 a fair price ??? given it was never really used

    When you can pick up a B580 or 7600XT for €300-€350 new, you aren't get close to that, regardless of how used it is. The CEX voucher price is very competitive as it tend to be close to the average eBay price. As for their sell price, CEX offer a warranty and simple returns policy. A private buyer has zero protection and takes all the risk therefore the reduced price for a private seller. Just a fact of life.

    Fact is it's all nearly 10 years old. It's worth around €200-€220 for the lot I'd say. And the GPU is most of that.

    How much would yous say is a fair price for the Alienware ALX black/chrome case and the briefcase sold together ?

    Thats very difficult to assess. You might find some collector willing to part with €200-€300 in a bidding war but then again you might not be able to give it away. Hard to tell. Only way to know is put it up at a reasonable price and take away the start bid of €99. If you don't want to let it go for less than that, then don't put it up for auction.

    From completed listings on eBay in EU away there going from 180 to 220 for the same graphics card not including shipping. Cex offering 115 cash. TBH im really really surprised there getting that on EBay considering you can get something like a 6700xt for 320 new with warranty. In my eyes it’s worth 100 quid tops.


    For the case there does seem to be PC enthusiasts about. There going to replace the PSU in it anyway as it’s from 2006 and it’s Dell. Im not sure what it’s worth tbh, Im thinking a few hundred. Do a completed listings on eBay and see if you can find your model and see what similar are going for.

    The CEX cash price is the "I can't be bothered to try and Adverts/eBay/Facebook Martetprice myself" price. It's the absolute lowest you should accept. The Voucher price trails the eBay average price pretty closely. Yoo can cross reference with Average Finder. UK only to be fair but still give you a good guide. So, put it up for €170 but haggle somewhere around €140-160. Selling it for below €118 is you giving money away at that point.
