Where to sell full computer? Egay or Anand?

[Woahtiger2]

Hey folks,
I have a general question. Since i dont want to part the system, i was wondering where i could possibly get the most money from, egay or anand? I just want people's opinions, so if anyone has a lot of experience about this kind of stuff, please let me know. Thanx.

I would first try the FS forums, since there is no egay fee u have to pay. Plus, generally people here are more trustworthy.

yea....and with the Troll huntin' team.....its easy to know who and who not to trade with...

Hehhee, seems like if you want to rip people off, go for Egay... but Anandtecher's are smart shoppers. =)

I've had great experiences in the FS/Trade forums...

If it has a Pentium CPU (1, 2, 3 or 4, it doesn't matter) you could just scream "INTEL PENTIUM INSIDE!!!" at the Egay people and they'd buy it like hotcakes.

IT depends. I generally find selling stuff here to be a better experience but you can get way more for stuff on egay. What you have to ask yourself is is the extra cash worth the hassel. That's what it comes down to.

Hey guys, i just wanted to say thanks for all the advice. Really appreciate it.

How do you ship a whole computer? Do you take it apart then ship or do you have to ship parts seperatly?

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

You will probably get more on e bay. You'll get less here, we're smart cookies here at Anantech forums!

egay. rip people off

 

[Smbu]

You will most likely get more for it from Eb@y, but it is easier buying/selling/trading here at the AT FS/T forums.

i'd say egay... rip off someone, make a little extra cash... MUAHHAHAHAHAA

 

[Nutdotnet]

focusyn- hehe...um you better watch out saying things like that, the mods will ban your ass.

 

[Woahtiger2]

Hahaha...thanks all for the heads up. BTW, the cpu will most likely be assembled, when shipped.

I've shipped a couple before in a large box, with tons of packing peanuts It worked pretty well and the buyer got it in one working piece. Even more efficient would be fitted styrofoam or foam but that's often hard to come by to fit a specific size.

you guys havent sold a computer on e-bay have you?

its hard...people are cheap skates...nobody appreciates good components....

go look at some auctions...&quot;30GB IBM OR SAMSUNG HARD DRIVE&quot;

you see stuff like that...people on e-bay dont care.

sell it here where people respect good components

 

[burnedout]

Part it out and sell it.

You'll make more.

 

[joohang]

In that case, why not keep the good components for yourself and sell the crappy ones?
