How much is my computer worth?

TerrorFirmer · 14-10-2018 1:36pm

I think the problem is that stuff typically doesn't add much value for most people, and the base PC is only worth about €60 as it's very low end/outdated with no upgrade possibility.

The monitor wouldn't be worth more than about €40 either. I honestly think you'll just have to accept anything over €100-120 as a reasonable price.

jayo26 · 14-10-2018 1:51pm

It's 5 years old and was even low end enough 5 year ago it's just not desirable to anyone for that money. Screens can be got so cheap now if rather have 100 euro in my pocket then sit on that for another year trying sell it.

I need it gone ASAP, but don’t want to let it go for little or nothing, for €200 you’re getting the whole lot (keyboard, mouse, monitor, Microsoft office). I understand that the computer itself isn’t worth €200 but the price includes those added extras.

It’s just been a nightmare trying to sell

They are not worth anything either ..... LibreOffice is free to use.
Used keyboard and mouse ...... free to 'good home' quite often.

How much for:

i5 2500k
8GB GSkill RipJaws-X CL9 DDR3 RAM.
MSI Military P67A GD53
Arctic Cooler Freezer 7

Also getting around to selling my ASUS PRIME Z270P or my ASUS STRIX Z270F, any reason to keep one over the other in general? Both brand new, unused and the latter sells for more. Probably will keep the latter, it does seem better constructed.

Spec is very poor. And you put a non-negotiable price of €200 on it. No wonder you haven't sold it in 7 months to be brutally honest. I'd take any offer over €100 if I were you. You'll probably get more if you split it all up.

I've been offered €125 for the PC, monitor, keyboard & mouse. Do y'all think that's a decent amount? Given what you've all said

I've been thinking of upgrading to a new workstation/gaming PC soon but I need to know roughly how much I'd get for my old one so I can plan a budget out for a new one:

Lenovo ThinkStation S30
3.6GHz Xeon E5-1620
16GB Buffered ECC DDR3 at 1333MHz (8x 2GB sticks in Quad Channel)
GTX 970 GPU, 128GB Samsung 830 SSD with Windows 10 and a 1TB HDD

Thanks in advance, Been trying to find similar specced systems online but asking prices vary dramaticly on different listings.

Based on current system selling prices on adverts and the age, I'd say about 400, maybe a bit less or a bit more depending.

Thanks, might keep the 970 for my next system then, how much do you reckon I'd get if I sell it with a basic GPU? like a spare GTS 250 I have here, cheapest S30s on ebay with the same cpu and ram (with basic gpu) are going for €300, I have a feeling that's a bit too high

TerrorFirmer · 25-11-2018 2:40pm

It is, you might get more if you sell on Ebay but that's such a titanic pain in the ass, no idea how people can bring themselves to do it.

I don't think much to be honest, these days you can pick up i7-4770/i7-3770 based machines for as little as €200 with 8GB 1600mhz ram and an SSD in them on Ebay or Adverts.

I know it's still a very capable processor but it's old and 1333mhz ram is very old school as well. Without the GPU I doubt you'd get more than about €200-250 for it on Adverts or whatever, and GTX970's sell for €100-120 now 2nd hand as well.

Combined, as it's a decent games machine, it'll get more than selling the PC + card seperately most likely. I'd probably stick it up for €500 and see what happens, and be willing to accept around €400 as a reasonable offer.

That's okay then, going to hold on to the 970 and carry it over to the new pc because honestly it does everything I need in terms of gaming and I'm only really looking to upgrade to get something with better single threaded performance. When I'm ready I'll stick up the S30 with the 250 gts in instead for €250 and see what offers I get. cheers for the help.

How much would this system be worth

TerrorFirmer · 25-11-2018 11:25pm

Decent core machine but really let down by the now weak low-end GPU, so I doubt you'd get more than about 400 for it....bit more on the likes of DoneDeal where people know less about PC's. If the person selling is upgrading, it'd be way more economical to just get a new GPU and sell the GTX960 for €80 as the i7-4770 is still an excellent gaming CPU.

I no longer need a gaming laptop I've had for the past 4 years that spent all of it's time on a desk with little use so I'm looking to sell it.

Would anybody know how much a like new Acer Aspire VN7-591G with these specs is worth:

CPU: 2.6GHz Intel Core i7-4720HQ (quad-core, 6MB cache)
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M with 2GB GDDR5 RAM and Intel HD Graphics 4600
RAM: 16GB DDR3L

Storage: 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD (5,400 RPM)
Ports: 3 x USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, Headphone jack, Ethernet, SD Card reader
Connectivity: Dual Wireless Antennas, 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0
Camera: 720p webcam

Guess you have price a new gaming laptop 800~1200 then work back a couple of years. 600 ish maybe.

TerrorFirmer · 13-12-2018 8:45pm

I think given current market prices you'd probably be looking at around 400-450 at best.

I've an Alienware laptop with a 6700HQ and GTX980 with 16GB DDR4 and a 4K screen and I couldn't get any offers over 550.

You could get a new laptop that would be faster than your spec for about €750.

Got a new desktop PC just before Xmas & I am now looking to sell my Alienware laptop.

Would anyone know how much I could realistically get for it? (on Adverts or whatever)

Alienware 18

Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 @ 5GHz + Bluetooth 4.0

Dual AMD Radeon(TM) R9 M290X graphics with 8GB total (2x 4GB ) GDDR5 - AMD CrossFire(TM) Enabled

Only thing wrong with it is battery only holds a charge for about 20-30 mins before you'd need to plug in charger.

Hey folks, building a new PC.

Wondering on the price for the following.

Case: NZXT Source 340
Mobo: Asus Z97-A
CPU: core i5 4690k
Cooler: Hydro H75
Ram: 32GB ddr3 4 x 8GB HyperX Fury1866
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 gaming edition
PSU: Corsair CS 750M

2 x 120GB SSD (hyperX)
1 x 250GB SSD (HyperX)
2 x 2tb HDD (Toshiba)

TerrorFirmer · 28-01-2019 4:52pm

There are a few things in that that won't add much value to the overall price.

I would strip out most of the RAM, one 2TB HDD, 250GB SSD and a 120GB SSD, and sell it with a single 120GB + 2TB. Leave it at either 8GB or 16GB ram at best.

I would also probably take out the CPU cooler and re-use it, replace it with stock cooler.

Not necessarily to re-use, but you can sell all those parts seperately for a nice bit of extra cash.

The different in achievable price between as it is now, and with all that stuff removed, wouldn't be that big, people focus on the core components and other stuff tends to matter little to them, and they value it that way too.

With all said parts removed, I would say you should get around 500 for it. Probably another 200 for the parts I mentioned.

Obviously with a 4th gen i7 and the 290x cards you can't compete with newer machines but I reckon that has to be worth €600 anyway if not more.

I sold this a few months back

IrishMetalhead · 30-05-2019 1:29pm

Just put together another PC with some bits I had laying around, hoping for a quick sale because I just want these components gone as there taking up valuable space so hoping to get a a recommended price to post it at to grab people's attention:

AMD Phenom II x4 905e @ 2.5GHz
8GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz (4x2GB)
1GB Radeon HD 5770
Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 AM3+ Mobo
500GB Hard Drive

I know it won't be worth much but I'd be happy to get anything for it really.

all original I believe - except no hdd.

Originally ran a specialised OS - but it tried Windows 7 and it worked.

Only asking because I really like the all aluminium case and its in great nick - and Im hoping it something not collectable so I dont feel guilty putting a modern pc in the case...
