Price Check: Watercooling 3.5Ghz C2D in v1200plus Lian Li

[mattjbak]

First off, I don't know if this is the right forum, so if it's not I would ask that a mod please move it.

Here is my system as it stands. I have worked a lot of this computer and it has changed a lot since I first got it. The pictures are horrible, as I just sold my digital camera.

Basically, I want to sell this and my current laptop, and move to a powerful laptop and very large display (dell 30" or 24"). If you could help me to find out what I should list these computers at that would be very helpful. Thank you!

Anyone? Estimates? I was thinking about listing on fs/ft for $1800 or so shipped.

My guess is 1200$. Used hardware regardless if it is a week or a year depreciated by 30% as soon as you open it. You also have problems as the people you are selling to are ones that could in most cases do this themselves. You best bet is to hopefully get about $1500 off of Ebay, by selling it as new. You would probably make quite a bit more as well if you took out the hardware and sold it separately, and then sold the case.

 

[mattjbak]

I really don't want to pass it off as new, as it isn't... I think that it has more value in it than just $1200, I see much lesser systems go for around that price point. Any other opinions? Thanks for your input!

this is not in the wrong forum, price checks just aren't allowed.

I don't really ever see full systems sell in the FS/FT. Just from my experience. I tried to sell a computer with a X6800, Team Xtreem, Raptor 150, Water Cooled, X1900 XTX Toxic, that a customer had tried to purchase from me then backed out at the last second (thank God for deposits). I think my cost was $2600, I put it up for $1900 and had not one PM about it.
