Older CPU and motherboards worth it on Ebay?

[BlueWeasel]

I've got an old DFI NF3 board and a socket 754 Sempron (the combo overclocks to 2.6Ghz) that is collecting dust in the FS/FT. With several deals on 939 chips and boards, the price on 754 stuff and AGP boards has really went down recently.

Granted, I know I could always lower the price and it would sell in FS/FT with no problems, but based on what I'm seeing other NF3 boards go for, I'd probably rather keep it and replace my P3 1Ghz in my file server with the Sempron.

I could probably get $70-$75 for the combo here at AT.

I've not sold many MB or CPUs on Ebay.

Would it likely be more profitable to sell the items on Ebay or are the prices roughly the same? Also, would it be best to sell both as an overclocking combo, or just have 2 separate auctions?

If you're selling just the motherboard you won't get much, motherboards do not hold their value. Think of how cheap motherboards are normally and how they are having combo deals a lot of the time. The person ordering the board has to 1) Pay shipping and 2) you get dinged via paypal if you're using it and on the final list / bid price. Ebay is bending you over and screwing you every-way to sunday.

Ebay is not always a good place to sell.... I'd try swapace instead. It's FREE, imagine that.

I'd say you get more on Ebay than here or elsewhere.
