Good place to sell a computer?

[Vampiroth]

Hi,

I have a computer I'm trying to sell but I'm having a hard time moving it. Is there any computer related website with a b/s/t section? Just need to get rid of this thing to pay college tuition. I would try ebay but they would rape me in fees. (10% of the sale up to $250 I believe).

Thanks,
Vamp

Craigslist, pretty much. Or part it out and sell the parts on ebay.

What kind of system are you selling? Sometimes you might just have it priced too high.

My brother in San Francisco was trying to sell an i7-920, 12gb ram, 2TB HD, Geforce 295, windows.. And apparently has had no bites in 5 months for $350. He's trying to just trade the entire thing for a PS3 now >.<

Craigslist is usually the best place to offload a comp. You can get more there than selling it pretty much anywhere else if your lucky.

You could try anantech forums. Are you willing to part it out or just sell it complete?

[Vampiroth]

I'd prefer to sell complete. The system is fairly expensive.

Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Hero LGA1150
Processor: Intel Core i7-4770k
Video Card: EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Superclocked with ACX Cooler
Cooler: Corsair H100i Liquid Cooler
Case: Cooler Master Storm Trooper Full ATX
Memory: 32 gig Corsair Vengeance
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA III 7200 RPM
Solid State Drive: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128 gig SSD
Blu-Ray Drive: LG Electronics 14x Internal BDXL Blu-Ray Burner/Rewriter
Power Supply: Corsair Professional Series HX850 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Gold
Operating System: Windows 7

I'd like to not lose very much on the deal. Do you think I would make better selling it parted out?

[chazus]

Unfortunately, you're going to lose a fair bit on it, simply because there are so many unnecessarily expensive parts. I imagine you probably spent about two grand on it, when it's about $1200 worth of performance at best. And that's assuming new. Just like cars, computers lose a fairly significant chunk of value the moment you turn it on.

[Vampiroth]

It's pretty much brand new too. I have had 2 offers for $2000 but I don't know if I should take them or not. It cost me around $2300 to build. I just need money for tuition!

[chazus]

If you've had two offers for two grand, and spend 2300, I would jump on those offers immediately. Like, today.

[BicycleMafioso]

US$2K for something that is used and cost you 2.3K to build?
That's an amazing deal. For you.

[Ripox]

Was about to PM you an offer for that and then found out you were really lucky and got $2,000 offers. Can't compete with that even though a used system like that would probably go for a couple hundred bucks below that. Jump on those offers like others have said!
